"Never seen anything like this before!" Aerith leaned over the wagon, watching as they passed by rows and rows of trees filled with various types of fruits. Some she'd heard of, others she'd never tried before. She was practically starry-eyed looking at all of them, nudging Hawks, and pointing out ones she thought looked interesting.
Before long, she hops off the wagon and scuttles a little ways into a nearby row, hands reaching up and plucking a couple of fruits off a nearby tree. "Look at these! They're shaped so weird!" Star fruit, as the locals called them, but they didn't look very starry to her. As she takes the fruit cutting knife from her pocket and begins her tasting in earnest, she understands instantly after she cuts into it and holds it up for him to see. It's a perfect star shape.
"Oh, there we go. So that's why! Wow...so cool!"
