The Gospel According To Verdu (a Steampunk Novel) (The Brofman Series) - Plot & Excerpts
Unlike the rest of the family on the Tao-Tallis, Afham did not treat her like nobility. He treated her like a friend. To him, Chenda was a real pal to have helped him be the first to see the rising targa. He was part of the hunt, at least in that small way. Her connection to divinity and role in the world outside the hulls of his family home concerned him not at all. And she could do neat tricks. Chenda found it odd that the Mae-Lyn liked popcorn, but Rainor explained that any foodstuff that stayed small until they wanted it to take up more space was a good thing. Afham discovered that Chenda could make the kernels pop using her power, and this became a great game between the two. She would sit cross-legged in the bow of the ship with him in her lap. He would toss a seed into the air and she would pop it. If the boy was quick enough, he would catch the puff and eat it before the sea winds blew it away. She tried to explain that the process was as simple as boiling the tiny amount of water inside each kernel, just the tiniest strain on her powers.
