Salt and Sugar (Part 2)

Purifying Xenoan rock salts was far more difficult than she had anticipated. 

According to her database, Terran rock salt should've been finished by now. She had to study a lot of the composition and the differences with Terran salt and had to do some more trial and error for quite some time after that.

It took her a few more hours to finally end up with a powder that had few enough impurities that it wouldn't cause any damage to even the weakest human (i.e. her babies) long-term. 

She looked at the bowl of beautiful edible crystal that had finally formed. It was even more glistening than she remembered, and it had hints of pink at certain angles.

Quite pretty. 

She placed her pinky on the bowl and closed her eyes to focus on the taste. As the powder melted in her mouth, her eyes brightened at the taste of the perfect saltiness. 

"Hm~" She mumbled in satisfaction, though her face scrunched a little at the saltiness.
