Like that, yeah.

[He will start walking towards the syrup drink stand.]

Sugar, mostly.

[powerplay]

Then it should be inoffensive!

[ Power has not been around civilisation long enough to fully understand that some things can be too sweet. Well, it'll balance out the chicken skewer savoury right?

Here we go, two cups! ]

[perfectdistance]

[Oh they're about to have a monstrosity. Power, you may regret this.

Nero takes a sip and immediately frowns...]

[powerplay]

[ I'm in tears. God. What are they, basically just straight up drinking literal syrup.

Well Power is going to take a pretty sizeable swig of this thing, because what is moderation or being careful? And she looks fine for a bit.

Then she just spits it out on the ground next to thtem, BLEUGHHH. ]

What is this! 'Tis like eating sugar, but too much!

[perfectdistance]

[Yeah.]

Water's regulated in the city...

[He will start steering them back home.]

Should be able to cut the sweetness down.

[powerplay]

[ She's still BLEUGHing. But she's also like. Taking baby sips from her cup anyway as they're steered away to look for something else. And keeps making faces but if she keeps doing this maybe she'll get used to it. ]

Water...

[perfectdistance]

Ya can wait before ya drink more of it.

[powerplay]

[ Waiting? Unheard of. ]

I think I'm getting used to it.

[ No. ]

[perfectdistance]

You're spittin' it out.

[powerplay]

[



She

She's raising the cup to her lips ]

[perfectdistance]

[...

He won't stop her.]

[powerplay]

[ It's going into her mouth and this time, she is storing/keeping it in her mouth.

For as long as she can.

It's only a small mouthful but. ]

[perfectdistance]

...

[He's walking to the water a little bit faster.]

[powerplay]

[ She's going to grab one of the waters as soon as they get there and dilute immediately. ]

Aeugh! That should be illegal to sell!

[perfectdistance]

[Nero cuts it with water and starts stirring it.]

Should be cuttin' the sugar themselves.

[powerplay]

Cutting the sugar? What's that mean?

[ As she keeps putting in small amounts of water followed by test tasting, until it's about right. ]

[perfectdistance]

Putting enough water in it so it's not awful to drink. We're cutting it with water right now.

[powerplay]

Oh! Yeah! Who the heck drinks this stuff on its own?!

[perfectdistance]

... Maybe really little kids? They shouldn't be drinkin' something this sweet though...

[powerplay]

Is this the kind of stuff children like?

[ She wouldn't know. ]

[perfectdistance]

Most kids like sweets.

[Owen likes sweets, but he's not valid.]

[powerplay]

[ None of the Northerners' diets are valid. Idk what Snow and White eat but it's probably not valid. ]

Eugh, even this seems a bit much, though. No wonder human children suck.

[perfectdistance]

[Looks at my guide. Churros and and eggs?]

That's why ya think they suck?

[powerplay]

[ Just. One of them likes churros and the other likes eggs????? ]

Well. I haven't met any, except I suppose Rika. [ Who she thinks is perfectly okay. ] I'm just inclined to think they suck.

[perfectdistance]

[Snow: sweet omelette, sugar churros
White: salty eggs benedict, cinnamon churros]

I don't really talk to a lotta kids back home. Mostly deal with ones in their teens already.
