[it's a gorgeous day today! the sun is shining, birds are singing... all in all, the beautiful outdoors are more tempting than they've ever been (which is a good thing, considering the more... reclusive nature of a few of the musebox's inhabitants).

and that is why somebody has set up a gigantic picnic! there are foods of all kinds, from savory to the sweet... although, for some reason, one end of the blanket has been taken up almost entirely with different varieties of ice cream. how strange!

enjoy yourselves, children ♥]

[ha HA mango get. grabs it triumphantly

... then looks back over as the girl approaches and something in his expression changes]

... You look like you haven't eaten in a while.

[miraculess]

[bristle bristle bristle]

That would likely be because I haven't.

[darkbeforethedawn]

Good thing you happened this way, then.

... Okay, where are they hiding the utensils? I need a fruit knife.

[miraculess]

[...

turning away from him, but she can't seem to stop herself from shooting him suspicious little glances]

... To your right.

[she'd been eyeing the picnic for a while, okay. squatting down and hesitantly reaching toward one plate, only to realize it has daifuku on it and flinch away.

...picking up a riceball instead]

[darkbeforethedawn]

--Oh, hey, thanks.

[retrieves a knife and starts to cut his mango

which means he's not looking at her when she has the moment with the daifuku. you are afforded that small dignity, Kaiko]

[miraculess]

Mmmh.

[yeah, but not the dignity of not talking with my mouth full. these taste like home '/-']

[darkbeforethedawn]

[not like he minds. he's experienced Sora's table manners.

companionable silence while we eat and/or cut fruit get?]

[miraculess]

[somewhat. and hey, at least she's an efficient eater, rather than a messy one?

polishing off another riceball and leaning back on her hands. she'll have more, but only after the first bit's settled.]

[darkbeforethedawn]

[looks over as he slices off a cube of mango

... holds it out to her]

Want some?

[miraculess]

[glowering briefly before looking away

and then back]

... what is it?

[darkbeforethedawn]

It's mango. It's really good.

[miraculess]

...

[tentatively holding one hand out for it]

[darkbeforethedawn]

[drops it in her hand]

[miraculess]

...Thank you.

[fumbling it into her fingertips' grasp without taking her eyes off of him and nibbling on it]

—mmph.

[sweet...]

[darkbeforethedawn]

[smiles a little at her reaction]

Yeah, it's one of my favorites.

[pops a cube into his own mouth :9]

[miraculess]

[mmmight be sucking all the juice out of it before she does the same '/-']

It's good... Are all fruits like this?

[darkbeforethedawn]

... You haven't had fruit before?

[miraculess]

I've only ever had strawberries or blackberries fresh.

[darkbeforethedawn]

[looks around for other fruits while he answers]

Well... yes and no. Most fruits are at least a little sweet, but not usually the same kind of sweet? If that makes sense. There's lots of different flavors and textures.

[miraculess]

[slowly wrinkling her nose up]

...hmmm.

[glancing around, herself. there are a lot of things she's never gotten to have before here, aren't there...

...but would there even be a point in trying, anymore?]

[darkbeforethedawn]

You want to try some?

[I have spotted a fruit basket '-']

[miraculess]

... No. I should— I need to stop delaying the inevitable.

[shaking herself and then grabbing for the remaining rice balls. they'll keep for a while]

[darkbeforethedawn]

What do you mean?

[miraculess]

[clambering back to her feet]

There is a task that I need to complete, and a fate that awaits me; I cannot rest until I have fulfilled them both.

[darkbeforethedawn]

[well I sure do understand that feeling]

... You should take some time to eat, anyway. Starving won't get the job done better.
