[ MINT CANDY ] - Food usually isn't an issue since Sara has never been picky, but in Abyss, when she instinctively reaches for a snack at night, her hands come up as empty as her pockets. She finds it inconvenient at best, and at worst, thinks the Church lives in excess while allowing the underground to starve which is not unlike Jugdral.
By the end of the evening, more half of the food available tonight will sooner end up as food scraps than in the bellies of the hungry. So Sara feels practically no remorse helping herself and dumping an entire bowl of mints into her bag, halting only to stare at a man that seems to catch her in the act.
"I'm sorry, did you want one?" she hazards a guess, deliberating for a moment. "Truthfully, I'd rather keep them all to myself. It didn't seem as though many people enjoyed these mints, anyway. Perhaps you could take this instead?"
Plucking the best-looking spider lily from her bouquet, the flower is offered to him with a neutral expression.
"However, I must warn you that lily isn't safe for consumption."
Mints shmints. Lex had never been much of a fan of them. The smell was pleasant, but their taste was often overpowering. Lex had not come looking for a mint. No, he'd come to investigate a rumor about some prank candies mixed in with them. It sounded like the exact sort of thing he'd want to have on hand, just in case he needed to bother someone.
The girl in front of the bowl seemed to be intent on taking all of them for herself, though. He eyed her up suspiciously, but he didn't make any moves to take a mint from her. She seemed to actually want them, after all, and Lex didn't have quite the same drive. Besides, he had a feeling someone would come refill them soon enough, and if he kept watching the bowl after that point, he'd get the perfect opportunity to see if anyone slipped something in when they thought nobody was looking.
"Nah, I'm not a big fan of 'em," Lex answered nonchalantly. "Just doing my job as a knight. Heard people were doing some kind of prank thing with the candies. Had to check it out for myself."
The exact reason he wanted to check it out would not be disclosed for the time being. Better not to make her too suspicious. Her expression was completely unreadable. Maybe one of his own flowers would help. In exchange for her lily, a random rose was snatched from his bouquet and handed towards the girl.
