[ All things considered, being offered a wet, slimy peach slice might be the nicest thing that's happened to them since they arrived to Kenos.

Maybe the strangeness of the situation they've all found themselves in dulls the confusion they might've felt at the offer. In any other context, it'd be a pretty weird thing to do, not to mention somewhat gross. But right now, in the tensest, most unpredictable of times, what they take it as is a peace offering. He could've just taken the whole jar, as they expected him to do, but to go out of the way to share with them immediately is... well, to them, surprisingly kind, messiness aside. They still hesitate to take it from him for a few seconds, and the sticky texture of the fruit's flesh is not the most pleasant feeling, but their expression softens, albeit weakly. ]


Why are you...? [ Being so giving? Trusting them easily? They don't know how to finish the question, so they trail off. ] You really didn't have to...

[ There's a faint note of disbelief, there, but they've decided it would've been weird if they refused the fruit after the man had gone through the effort to take it out, so they're accepting it regardless. ]
