[That makes it sound more like they're going to do this again. That, or Yukio's going to try to kill Noah by peaches. Hm...]

...are those stick-thingies good?

[He's seen them in the vending machine before, obviously, but he's never tried them. As much as Noah's not a picky eater, he tends to go with things that are familiar to him.]

[emptyembers]

[The most unsuspecting murder to happen in Yogen yet: overdose of peaches. Who's gonna know? No one's gonna know.]

Pocky?

Yeah, they're like little biscuits covered in some kind of flavoring. This one is strawberry, but there's chocolate, matcha, green tea. Some fruits, too, like banana and blueberry and mango.

[He opens the box and the little packet, pulling one stick out and holding it out for Noah.]

No peaches.

[silentabyss]

[It's not like they can do an autopsy and find out that he ingested an ungodly amount of peaches, yeah.]

Oh.

[That "oh" comes out flatter than he'd intended. Noah reaches out to take the stick though, inspecting it curiously before he just takes a bite. So much for that whole spiel about how he tends to stick to things that are comfortable; he'll try anything once, if it's offered out to him anyway.]

...oh, it is good. Thanks.

[And he sits then, to tear into this bag of cotton candy, offering out a tuft to Yukio in kind, conversationally adding,]

Do you normally get to eat stuff like that, where you come from? [Elrios sucks actually.]

[emptyembers]

[Noah's reaction had a chuckle spilling from his lips that Yukio quickly covered with his finger. He cleared his throat, taking a seat next to him. He took one of the sticks out of the box, placing it in his mouth.]

Yeah, you can usually get some at the stores. Chips, soda, candy, chocolate. You could usually get those anywhere.

[hdshasdfklfdj SIR stop with your LAUGH ugh

Noah's beginning to wonder why everyone in purgatory is cool. Shouldn't purgatory be for the worst of the worst? Isn't that the point of a purgatory? Why is he eating pocky with Yukio in purgatory? This doesn't sound like divine punishment or whatever!]

Oh. ...that makes sense. When I was on the road a lot, Clamor and I stopped off at inns and restaurants along the path. Walking from Northern Lanox all the way to Elrianode was something.

[It was a long-ass trip, and luckily people live between those two places.]

I was never picky about food, though. I'd just eat whatever we could afford. ...have you ever eaten firebird eggs?

[Noah, most places do not have firebirds.]

[emptyembers]

I can't say that I've had firebird eggs...

[Was that just a phoenix, he wondered?]

Dad made ostrich eggs once. Those are huge. Roughly.... this big. [He holds his hands out to mimic the size of the egg.

Definitely not the same thing.]

[silentabyss]

[Listen, if phoenixes — legit phoenixes — existed in Elrios, the Sun Master would be all over those fuckers.]

Ostrich [Noah makes a face.] What's an ostrich? Some kind of bird? Firebird eggs are probably half that size.

[Noah makes vague motions to show Yukio the size, roughly about that of a hawk egg.]

[emptyembers]

[He hums a little, trying to figure out a way to explain what the fuck an Ostrich is.]

It's a very large flightless bird. About 7 to 9 feet tall. It has really long legs and can run about 43 miles per hour.

[silentabyss]

...sheesh.

[Noah pauses... what weird animals do they have on Elrios... oh!]

We have crabs the size of... uh... just a bit shorter than me, actually. I was told that that's not... normal?

[They also eat people.]

[emptyembers]

Oh, we have something similar. There are the spider crabs, though they're not the biggest, simply the tallest at around 13 feet because of their legs.

But the biggest crabs on land are called coconut crabs... Roughly your size.

[He gives him a little smile. Just a little one.]
