Killian continued his role as my host while gesturing toward the fruits and nuts. "I don't think you have these in the human realm. Since it's your first time here, you should try them."
I took a purple round fruit that looked like a miniature plum, and I popped it into my mouth. An odd flavor exploded in my mouth. I was juicy and sweet and salty at the same time, but it worked.
The longer I chewed, the stronger the flavor was. I reached to take one more. "These are quite good."
"Not as good as the ones we have in Lemuria, but these are passable."
I couldn't believe he had to brag about this.
At the risk of appearing weak, I offered snacks to Vesper. I didn't like the witch, but seeing her sit in that chair like an abandoned child, made me feel bad for her.
