She can’t help but laugh, “I suppose it is pretty sad.” to a normal child it must have sounded queer. A grown-up telling them they’d never really had candy. She was surprised, though, as the child held out a bag of candy to her. Wide eyes blink a couple times as she peers at the bag, listening as he explains why she should try with them.
“I see...well thank you for that advice, then..!” a warmer smile graces the woman’s lips; maybe he’s not quite as harsh as she was worried he’d be. She takes bag from him, nodding her head as he listed the candies he liked.
There’s a pause as Calliope stares at the bag in her hands, eyes briefly fluttering up to look at Kouta. He was waiting for her to try them, wasn’t he? The blonde inhaled softly, prepping herself before popping a couple into her mouth.
They were still sour, and she had to shuffle them around in her mouth so they wouldn’t hurt her tongue or gums, but they were certainly less intense.
“That is way better-- thank you so much! ...Does this mean sour candies come in... sour levels?” she looks over the bag again, now far more curious about them.
