I was, but then I got here and started thinking...

[ Koharu looks back up. ]

I know I probably shouldn't, but I started to get curious how that cotton candy would taste.

[boxcar]

......

Well.

It does look like candy.

[cupidsammo]

—Right? It looks so much like it! But it's on a tree! Why do I want to eat it so much?!

[boxcar]

You could ask maybe, if it is harmless. The angels say the locations themselves usually are. Though maybe there will be a funny effect to it...

[cupidsammo]

Oh, right...

... Suddenly it's a little less tempting.

[boxcar]

[ Well he's just going to pick off a tiny piece and eat it in front of her then. ]

[cupidsammo]

Whoa whoa whoa, wait—!!

[boxcar]

[ He's never had cotton candy actually so the sensation of this thing just melting away is a little mystifying... but... ]

It is just candy.

[cupidsammo]

[ Koharu looks him up and down, as if waiting for something to happen. ]

And it tastes fine?

[boxcar]

[ Nothing happens! ]

It's sweet.

[cupidsammo]

[ , ]

It's tempting again.

[ Which is all she says before Koharu reached up for a branch and pulls herself up. Sorry, she's a shortie. ]

[boxcar]

Go ahead, as far as I can tell it is normal candy.

[ Does she need assistance... ]

[cupidsammo]

[ ... Maybe. She definitely isn't the most athletic here, but she's trying. ]

[boxcar]

Want some help?

[ He's not just going to hoist her without asking first. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ mid pulling herself up— ]

... I think I could use it.

[boxcar]

Alright. Here.

[ Putting his hands together at a point where Koharu can put her foot in it to give her a boost up, let's go. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ yahoo. uppies. ]

There we go!

[ Koharu climbs up onto a higher branch, balancing herself to pluck off a tiny piece of cotton candy. Experimentally, she pops it in her mouth. ]

Whoa, this is the real deal, all right.

[boxcar]

See? Told you.

Free sweets then, and it's everywhere. Careful not to get cavities.

[cupidsammo]

[ In that case—Koharu grabs a hefty handful with an air of childish glee. ]

Just don't tell Uruha, or I might get scolded for real.

[ She teases, of course. With that, Koharu measures the distance between herself and the ground before carefully hopping down, her wings giving a flap—for all the good that it does. ]

[boxcar]

[ There's a small wave of something soft here at that. ]

I won't. Our secret then.

[cupidsammo]

Good.

[ offering him a handful of cotton candy ]

I got the impression he's usually got eating well on the mind.

[boxcar]

Him?

[ Thinks about it. ]

They've got a snack corner in their room. Sure, it might mostly be for Saber, but it could be his too.

[ Doxxes his ass as he tries little bits of cotton candy... so sweet, so strange. ]

[cupidsammo]

—Really?! And he's always telling me not too eat too many sweets...

[boxcar]

He's fussy.

[ He is choosing this wording on purpose. ]

[cupidsammo]

I noticed.

[ But she chuckles, then looks up curiously. ]

This really does taste just like normal cotton candy. How does it grow on a tree...?
