Sooooo, guys, girls, others. What's the grossest thing you've ever eaten?

[Don't mistake this for her not being concerned about Caedra, and not being concerned about generally everything, but a recent conversation and a recent find has piqued her curiosity enough to ask the question.

For her own answer, she holds up a small, white, chalky-looking cube.]

This one's mine. It's called 'carbtien', and it's basically what we live on back home, because we can't grow enough food for everyone. It's military rations, and I don't know what they put in it, but it doesn't taste of anything and when you try to swallow it, it's like your brain forgets how swallowing works.

[Julie snorts softly and drops the cube down out of sight.]

I found a big bag of them just lying around a couple of weeks ago. Weird, right? I guess I'll keep it safe for if we ever end up starving or something. You might not thank me, though.

Oh don't you eat that, Julie!

[Fretting ahoy!]

I have some nice scones if you're hungry. Or I can make you something else.... I have....

[He begins rummaging around, clearly missing the point]

...I have some of these purple things [He holds up mysterious vegetables] ...and some fruit....

[He thinks its fruit. At least it tastes like fruit]

[redwinekindofgirl]

I'm not gonna eat it now.

[He is definitely missing the point, but she can't be too irritated about it. It's just his way.]

I'm asking a question, gramps. It was just an example. Gonna keep these things safe, though.

[He pauses and blinks, mouth opening in a silent 'oh' before changing gears.]

Well. What have you eaten today, Julie?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Uh, I had some breakfast a few hours ago?

[Wow, she's really not used to this kind of fussing over her anymore.]
