[Laine is... fidgeting. Pacing, up in the rigging, down in the hold, just generally poking around the ship.

He also has snacks. It's marshmallows today. He's just. Eating from a bag of mini marshmallows like it's popcorn.

Oh, they're called "mini marshmallows". Do you want one? [He... tosses one over.]

[ yeet!!! xie lian does catch it, thankfully, examining the marshmallow briefly and squishing it between his fingers. squish, squish. ]

Thank you for sharing... [ aaand, he pops it into his mouth!

and then makes a little, surprised face. ]
Oh - it's sweet!

They are! I think they're just sugar and some kind of startch and gelatin. [He eats. Another small handfull.]

It's delicious! There are so many wondrous kinds of food in this place, I can't even begin to fathom them all.

[ he's so happy. laine you made him so happy. ]

Yeah? What's food like where you're from?

Certainly not like this! The closest approximation to this I can even begin to imagine is perhaps yuanxiao... [ he's peering at the marshmallow bag again as he answers. tsk. ]

...But, we eat a lot of meat, and vegetables.. um, and rice? I don't think I've ever had anything this sweet, at least that I can really remember...

[Tosses him a couple more marshmallows.]

If I eat too much meat, I'll get sick. We eat fruit and some vegetables where I'm from, so we have a lot of things that are this sweet.

[ i wish i could say he'd catch them in his mouth or something because it'd be funny but alas. xie lian catches them as they're tossed, popping them in his mouth and chewing, thoughtful. ]

I see, I see! It must be nice to have access to such simple things like this often. It's a little joy, isn't it? Like a treat.

[Needs more practice...]

It is! We don't really have food shortages where I live now, but it's still nice to get things like this. [He likes snacks.]
