I need help. [ There's a little bit of a whine to his voice today. He is holding up a pair of small-ish apples. They're definitely ripe, just on the small side. One has a bite taken out of it- ]

I grew them, but they don't taste good at all... Does someone want to make sure it isn't just me?

[ HE WANTED TO GROW THESE SO FENRIS WOULDN'T HATE HIM, but.. giving him gross apples would make it worse, wouldn't it. ]

Also, how do you know it is your birthday? I feel like it ought to be, because the date says so, but... Are you supposed to feel any different? How do you count, after you reach one year? Do you keep adding months?

[ Yes, Asteffiel the adult looking plant hasn't had a birthday before. Sylvari. ]

Happy birthday. [It's okay, the Vision is even younger - he hasn't had a birthday yet.]

What's wrong about the taste? Are they sour?

Thank you~ [ He's pretty sure that's the response- ]

Very very sour. And a little like, when you bite a lemon, and it stings? That too. Very little... apple taste...

Acidic? Some varieties are naturally like that, such as crabapples. However, I'm told they can be very good in certain dishes, such as pies or preserves, or even certain sauces.

That could be why I don't know what to do with them. I am very bad at cooking. [ So having the machine spit out a brick for him to slice up into sticks and put some goo on is pretty nice- ]

Do you want to try using some? If you can cook with them, I wouldn't mind giving you the tree...

[He smiles a little.]

I'm not much of a chef myself, but my friend Eugene is. I'm sure he'd like to try a bit for flavoring in his alcohol, if nothing else.

Ooooh. [ Why are other races so obsessed with alcohol, it tastes funny and makes him dizzy. ]

Do you want to ask him if he wants to try something with these, or should I?

[It interacts with base human chemistry very differently than from those of us with other body chemistry, of course.]

I can, certainly. And I'd be glad to let you know the results.
