"Trick or treat, Frederick?! Nyaha, I'm kidding, you get a treat tonight!" Henry plops down a potato in Frederick's hand. There's a crude face carved superficially on one side, and a bit of sticky resin is covering a hole in the top. It's actually full of molasses! What a treat.
“Henry, this is… er, very kind of you. I never imagined that a… uh, an uncooked potato could be turned into an autumntime snack. You must be… *ahem* very proud of your handiwork.”
“That said, I’m afraid I cannot eat this right now; I’ve a day’s work ahead of me and I hardly need a sugar crash throwing my day off.”
“Heavens, what’s that look for? Ugh, fine: just one bite. Hwooooo… Haaaaa…. All right, I’m going to do it…”
“…. *gulp* …Oh heavens, I think I’m going to be ill–”
“…suited for my day if I continue to gorge myself on this thoughtful snack. Huurk! Thank you for that, Henry. Please help yourself to a treat from my basket and enjoy the rest of the Festival. I… I need to visit the latrine before I head off to the training yard.”
