Koa watches on in silent bemusement as Tal fiddles with the drink, mimicking the spinning of the globe until he uncovers his own quasi-straw. Still quite skeptical, he places the thin tube to his lips, blowing speculatively out of some instinct to test a science he can't hope to understand.
But Tal seems able to work it out, so it stands to (his) reason that Koa can, too. The first sip is tentative, the second more substantial as cool smoothie drains easily onto his tongue. Raising his eyes in pleased surprise, Koa glances at Tal again before slurping down about half his globe, the dense liquid a strange but not unpleasant capstone to a strange picnic indeed.
