"Indeed," he answered first to her question, reaching for another shell to crack the rest of the way open.

"I do not know where to harvest these... but I can trade for them in the market." Another bite, and another immediate reach for another. "Next time, would you teach me how to make it?" he asked, emerald eyes bright.
