“Mh.”, Elvin nodded lightly. Things he had never heard about! He carefully tore off some bread and tried it on its own, humming softly. It was interesting, and he liked that!

“I like new things.”, he hummed with a smile. He was most curious about the fruits, taking a grape and trying it. He took the orange, curiously looking it over.
“Your supposed to do something with it first before eating, right?”, he asked. He didn’t know about peeling things, but the skin of the orange didn’t feel like you should eat it.

Nox giggled at his curiousuty, finding it endearing. She loved how he was willing to try the food she had brought. She took an orange for herself and demonstrated what to do.

“You peel off the outer part to get to the edible bit” she peeled hers to show him what to do.

Elvin watched curiously, humming and nodding along. He carefully tried to get the orange peeled too, though needed a bit before he got an opening to start peeling.

“It smells really strange.”, he hummed. “It’s not too bad.”. He looked curiously at the peeled fruit, looking to Nox to see how she’d eat it. He knew about apples and how they were eaten, was this the same?
