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.

[elbowpads]

good! great!!!

i bet if you had one you'd be zooming all over the place, giving them the best doctoring that they've ever had

but uh

just don't zoom too fast

you ever get a stitch stuck on something because that's no good

[medicative]

I think I'll leave the zooming to you. You've got more experience with it, after all.
