His eyes widened, again momentarily distracted from the candy, at her reveal. “Oh, cool! I didn’t know that.” He grinned again, though the question left him pondering, never really quite sure how to put it into words. “Yeah, I guess. But I didn’t want to be a baby forever, y’know,” he shrugged. Obviously he wouldn’t have been, but the concept of time was a difficult one for most. Then there was the matter of wanting to do more than toddle around, running after large shadows. He craved to be alongside. “And you like-,” he searched for the word, brows furrowing in concentration, then settling on the simpler aspects. “Were okay and everything?” Had the adjustment been decent? Had there been steep learning curves? Given her stature currently in life, he'd have to argue everything had been fine - but Erebos held innocence and ignorance rolled into youthful wishes.
At least she took his cocoa commendations, and he smiled once more, imagining slushies. But then there were other speculations to harken upon, and with the wide array of candy before him, all delightful (well, the ones he’d already tried, anyway), he began pointing out several key components. “Well, these are really, really good,” as he directed her attention towards the malted milk balls, now coming in memory snow formations, “and those are amazing,” speculating at the vast expansion of fudge flavors. “Depends on what kind of stuff you like!” He’d be apt to believe this place had it all, but that was probably impossible in the little corner of Halo.
