hey

uh this might sound dumb

but how do you feel about snacks

[medicative]

In regards to them in general, I feel they are fine if eaten in moderation.

Or is this about particular snacks?

[elbowpads]

what kind of snacks do you like
like taste and smell and such

just think you can learn more about a person through their eating habits too
like if you peck at a bag of chips
or if you just open it and inhale them

[medicative]

That raises another question before I answer yours. Do you want me to answer the way you'd expect me to, or are you sincerely asking?

[she has to promote moderation and care, Naib. her own feelings rarely come into it.]

[elbowpads]

sincerely asking

look, it's important to enjoy what we got here
it's not a lot
but certainly there's something you like
you know???

[medicative]

There are more than a few things I like. But if I was allowed to have any snack in the world, I'd likely choose something sweet.

[even at mealtimes back in the manor, it was a rare thing for her to allow herself something sweet - she had to be a good example, after all, a model of moderation.]

Or perhaps I'd choose something light, so I could eat more of it than just a handful. But that might be just getting greedy.

[elbowpads]

something sweet
something light

( the wheels are turning in his head. )

... what if it buzzed

[medicative]

Are you referring to those bee snacks you told me about?

[elbowpads]

yeah i am
but there's other stuff too

i found a candy bar that seemed pretty ok
kinda drippy
not sure with what
but the insides are probably fine

i don't know why the wrapping stays wet even when wiped off...

[medicative]

Have you already sampled it?

[elbowpads]

ummmmm
no...

i mean i can try one
i have a few
but uh

2/2

[elbowpads]

i'm sure it's fine!!!

[medicative]

If you begin feeling any ill effects, do let me know. I'm generally suspicious of food being wet when it's not supposed to be.

[elbowpads]

eh sometimes things just get wet
but if i don't feel great i'll let you know

but...

i think i have an idea of what i can give you
do you like animals, emily

[medicative]

Yes, as a general rule. Most animals are delightful.

[elbowpads]

what do you think about animal-shaped snacks

[medicative]

You've piqued my curiosity about them.

[elbowpads]

they're kinda like a less sweet cookie or a sweeter cracker
kinda bland
but they're tasty
i opened one up and i think i saw lions and bears and maybe a rabbit

they don't make sound like the bee chips do

[medicative]

Would you be willing to share both? I might get a better sampling that way and be able to deduce which I like best.

Along with any other particular snacks you've taken a liking to, of course.

[elbowpads]

i can do that
there's also this weird bag of stuff i haven't touched yet
but maybe you can do it
for uh
science or something

doctors are scientists, right?

[medicative]

Something like that, but the definition's loose enough that we can say you're acting as one as well.

[elbowpads]

no way
mercenaries are cooler than scientists

anyway...

yeah i'll bring you some stuff
try to keep it as dry as possible

[medicative]

Tell me what you want to drink with the snacks. I can't make you bring over everything.

[elbowpads]

oh uh

OH SO THERE'S these little cans filled with something fizzy
they're pretty good and they really wake me up

[medicative]

Certain carbonated drinks can have that effect. I may procure one or two.
