Oh. [his grin suddenly turns into a somewhat-startled frown.] A lovely sentiment, but I hope you're exaggerating.

[he... tilts his head.] You're at least sure it's a food, right?

[namisan]

[Pfft. She can't help but laugh a little.]

No it's okay, I'm kidding. It's from a fruit vendor! And I've already tried some of the others. I think it'll be okay. My sense of humour is just twisted.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[not that poison could have actually killed him, but still! what an attitude to have! he laughs a little too, but it's maybe out of relief...]

All right, all right... I believe you. And if I'm wrong, you'll be the first person I haunt after my untimely death.

[he holds out his hand. still on board.]

[namisan]

[She slides his half onto a small plate and hands it over.] Here you go.

Honestly, I didn't recognise any of these. But fruit is fruit. I haven't found anything I don't like yet. [Though some are a lot more meh than others. Until she grows her mikan trees, though, these are her options.] And I figure it's good to have healthier stuff on board for everyone.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yeah, I can agree with you there. I miss fruit. All this "Floot Loop" flavoring just doesn't cut it.

[he still remembers the lemon and strawberry-flavored coffees... it was a dark time. he will absolutely and unhesitatingly take a bite of that weird fruit. ...and...]

...Mm, s'not bad, yeah...! [he kinda bobbles his head back and forth a little, smiling wider. he does like fruit an awful lot, even if he's also used to not having it much.]

[namisan]

[Hey look, we've got something in common after all. Nami grins widely at him, taking a bite of her own. It's a tang she's not quite used to, but she'll take it over the gels any day.]

I know it won't last long, but at least we can enjoy it while we're on station. You like fruit much back home? Got a favourite?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Uh-huh... [he takes another bite and ends up half-covering his mouth, so he can talk with his mouthful and not be totally gross.] We don't got a lot of it where I live, but I'm a big fan of oranges when I can get 'em. That and papanyas, when I go east.

[which is... totally not an earth fruit.]

[namisan]

[Hey she's just glad she recognises one of those.]

Oranges! Excellent choice. They're right up there with my favourite. [Her own bites are a little more delicate, so she swallows before adding more.] I'm growing mikan saplings over on the Iskaulit. We had an orchard of them back home, and I kept trees on my ship. Ever tried them? They're also citrus, just smaller and a bit sweeter than oranges.
