Yuka examines the dumpling curiously. It looked inoffensive enough.

She held it up and took a careful sniff. Not too strong, no hint of peaches... Cautiously, she took a nibble.

"So, what do you think? If you don't like these, I'm sure I could find something else for you."

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka, having found the flavor just mild enough to tolerate, is taking small quick bites of the dumpling. It's a bit like watching a rabbit eat.

"Ah... it's good? I think?" It's going to take more than this for Yuka to be that confident about food in general.

"Good, you think?" Aria was a little confused by this statement, but couldn't quite suppress a small giggle at they way her Player was nibbling like a rabbit. How could someone not know if they liked something or not after they had tried it? "Well, do you want more? I could always find something else if this is displeasing in any way..."

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka shrugged. "I don't really have a lot to compare it to. It's better than the porridge, anyway. And much better than peaches." She finished eating the dumpling. "I think I must have a lost memory about food... I remember being at parties where I would have ate food, but I can't remember the food itself."

Yuka thought about Aria's question. She was starting to become more enthusiastic about this whole process. "I wouldn't mind trying something else!"

"Ooh! These look really tasty." Aria picked up some Japanese pear slices and handed one to Yuka. "On three, we both try them, ok?" Looking hopeful, Aria recited, "one... two.... THREE!" She took a huge bite of the pear and watched for Yuka's reaction as she savored the sweet, crisp fruit.

[justaflowergirl]

Fruit was usually pretty safe, but Yuka still took only a small bite just in case.

Not too sweet, not too bitter...

She smiled. "It's good!"

[sword_that_protects]

Aria lit up at the expression on Yuka's face as she finished her first bite of the pear.

"I'm so glad you agree! See? Food can be more than just fertilizer. It can make your day that much better when you can sit with friends and enjoy a meal of well prepared and made foods."

Aria started handing over more pears and dumplings to Yuka's plate.

"Here, have some more. Maybe even try putting some of those pear slices into your porridge. It might make the flavor a little less bland."

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka blinked. "Fertilizer can be more than just food? I'm not sure I understand... But I am enjoying this."

She shrugged, tried putting some of the pear in her porridge, took a bite... and made a sour face. "I think I like these more separate." She kept eating it though. She wasted enough food when she ran into something that she couldn't handle, no sense wasting food she could.
