Shedda set him down and sat, pulling a folding knife out of her pocket, “Excellent, now we can try it.” Shedda took the fruit and opening the knife, carefully - no flash here, she cut the fruit in half. She held them out like small bowls. “You eat the fruit inside.” She folded the jnife and put it back in her pocket before handing a ‘bowl’ to Koro. She pointed inside to the fleshy fruit that looked like a cluster of grapes from inside the rind. “I like this fruit because it comes with its own bowl.” She reached in and plucked one of the round parts and popped it in her mouth.
Shedda
Koro eyed the fruit in his hand but he rather intently studied it from different angles before even attempting to eat it. Then he poked the insides, watching how the cluster moved or didn’t. Finally, he picked one of the pieces and popped it into his mouth. His brown eyes went wide as it squished between his tongue and the roof of his mouth. It was sweet and a little tart, but not overly so. He was so surprised he said nothing before giggling. “Ou’en ko kyan!” he said. It tickles my mouth!
~Koro
Shedda smiled and popped a couple in her mouth. “The flavor does tickle. Do you think your Mirane and Mira would like to try? We could get them one before we go.”
Koro nodded eagerly. “Mirane like bubble drinks. She like the fruit.”
“Then when we finish we will find another to bring to her.” Shedda grinned. Koro was adorable and once he got over being shy she could see hints of his outgoing curiosity and happiness.
Shedda glanced around and pulled a longer, wider piece of grass. She folded it in her fingers and then held it to her mouth and blew. It sounded like a kazoo.
Shedda
The boy jumped back, wide eyes and started giggling. “Again!
~Koro
Shedda brought the grass back to her lips and started to play. It had a small range of only a couple of notes but she could make the sound louder or softer and play a rhythm on it. She varied the rhythms and sounds stopping once or twice at his infectious laughter and then playing again.
Shedda
Koro was enthralled and moved over to where Shedda had apparently gotten the grass from and pointed. “I have one?” He was still clinging to the rind of the fruit, its juice having seeped into his palm without him either noticing or caring.
~Koro
Shedda stopped playing and let the blade of grass on fold. “You pick. Long and wide. And pick from as close to the ground as you can.” She took the rind and set it aside.
Once he had his grass she had him sit with his back to her and put her hands in front of him so he could see how she folded it. “Then you blow here between your thumbs. See watch me.” And she blew on the grass again. Then she fixed the fold a little and let him try on his own.
Shedda
Koro blew air into the space and it did not result in the funny noise. Mostly it was just him spitting air between his thumbs. He gave Shedda a confused look. “It don’t work.”
