Ashe grinned and led the way, pointing up and identifying the fruits that hung from the trees, by taste, not by actual name. Ashe had no idea what there real names were.
"Ssssee, that one kweh issss really gummy, and that tree hassss kweh really ssssweet fruit--you sssshould kweh try it, it'ssss deliciousss. That tree hasss ssssour kweh fruit, not my cup of tea, but to each hisss own, yes?" She smiled in between her explainations, wondering if she would have to stop to allow Fiara to answer, or if the midnight girl would just interrupt. Ashe wanted to know what her favorite fruit was, for future reference, "And that one kweh has my favorite flavor..."

Once they were under the trees Fiara's hunger took over, she listened with half an ear to Ashe as she pointed out the different flavors and textures of the fruits above them. "I haven't tried any of them before so maybe," Fiara reached up with her left hand and picked a few fruits from the sweet tree, gathering them into the crook of her right arm, she would be able to hold them for a short time only, before they would begin to warm and then become sticky. "Can we just pick lots and try them. I'll take home any extras so there won't be any wasted." Then she turned to look where Ashe said her favorites grew. "What do those taste like?"

Ashe smiled, nodding, "Uh-huh, we can kweh do that too." She reached up to pluck a few from the tree as well, these were quite good, always the perfect amount of flavor if you picked them right.
"Hmm?" She replied, turning to look where her friend pointed, "Thosssse?" She coughed softly, embarrassed, "Well, thossse are kweh Limesss. The fruitssss kweh taste like lime." She nodded once, smilign again, "I love them, kweh, they tassste ssso good, you kweh know?" How would Fiara know? She hadn't even known what flavor those fruits were, she shouldn't be asking things like that, "What'sss you favorite kweh flavor, Fiara?" She altered the subject carefully.

Fi had bitten into one of the sweet fruits, she smiled at the flavor, it was really good, she watched Ashe carefully. Was there something about limes? "I want to try one, but how do you know if they are ripe?" Fiara was unsure because they were all different shades of green.
"Umm I dunno, I like different stuff, like marshmallow flowers and chocolate frogs. Who knows I may find a new favorite here in these fruits," she had began to eat one of the very gummy ones, enjoying it throughly, it was so soft, as she walked closer to where Ashe was. "Have you ever had white chocolate?"

Ashe grinned over at her friend, "Ripe? Well, it'sss kweh really jussst trial and error." She nodded sagely, "You can't kweh really tell when they're ripe but ssssometimesss kweh they tassste good when they're not ssso ripe." She shrugged, "I'm a kweh ssstrange perssson, I sssuppossse." She laughed it off, covering the fact that she neither knew how to tell ripeness nor really cared. Lime was lime.
Ashe tilted her head to the side, "White Chocolate?" She repeated, nibbling a paw in habit, one she acquired from her aunt, "Hmm...not that kweh I can think of, it'sss not been on my kweh to-do lisssst." She shrugged, and looked at her friend curiously, "Why?"

Fiara grinned, "Oh Ashe, you're not strange just 'cause you like lime, ripe or unripe." But she laughed along with her friend, finally having filled her arm and reached Ashe's side, she sat on a patch of grass and let the fruits fall in her lap. She motioned for Ashe to sit with her after she's collected what she wanted to eat, of course. Fi giggled again, to-do list, "I like chocolates a lot~ I've had it once but it seem kinda rare to me, I can't find a good source of it, that's my goal, to find some to share, 'cause I really liked it."

Ashe laughed, smiling, "I sssuppossse ssso, huh?" She shook her head, skipping the few feet to the Lime Tree. WIth a smile, she picked a few, most of them making it to her arms, the rest were in her mouth beforehand.
Sauntering back over to her friend, she plopped down next to her, dropping her bounty in her lap. With a grin, she sunk her teeth into one of the large fruits, sucking the juice free and swallowing in seconds, "I looooove kweh Lime," She breathed, eyes closed.
She fell back onto the ground, lime fruits carefully bowled in her lap and next to her, she'd done it many tiems before. "Chocolate, eh?" She murmured after a moment, a single eye opening to look at her, "I've kweh never had much of a...preference for it," She grinned, "Lime isss my kweh love, after all," She shrugged, "But I don't kweh mind it. Certainly sssoundsss kweh like a good thing to be kweh looking for, eh?"

Fiara watched Ashe with her good eye, gathering limes into her arms and mouth, Fi was enjoying the different fruits that she had picked, eating more slowly now that her hunger was being sated. They were more enjoyable if she didn't rush to eat them anyhow. When Ashe joined her on the grass she brought with her a wonderful citrus smell, strong and delightful. Fi realized that the smell was not unfamiliar to her senses. Fiara's smile widened as Ashe fell back in her happiness, to enjoy a single flavor that much, Fi wondered at the notion.
"Well," Fiara began after Ashe's question, "I haven't been spending all of my time becoming a toasted marshmallow. I like to learn to cook from my dad since I spend a lot of time with him, it's something I enjoy, why not share it?" Her gaze fell to the fruits in her lap, one had fallen and rolled across the grass to join a small lime that has escaped Ashe, "It's not my lifes goal or anything, just one of many."

Ashe paused, talon-skewered lime fruit halfway to her mouth, "Cooking?" She replied, looking over at her friend curiously, "I've never really kweh cooked before, you know?" She shrugged her shoulders dismissively, "Alwayssss kweh left that to Kechara, she can cook." She shifted against the ground, glancing up at the sky, "....Nyeeehh~ Now that I kweh think about, I never really sssspend a lot of kweh quality time with my family."
She mused softly, "Everyone'sss kweh alwaysss busssy. Father kweh taking care of the new onessss and kweh making sssure to sssomehow be with his mate and make time for all of kweh their children....Nalikai issss alwaysss off with kweh his mate or sssomewhere with hisss kweh daughter. Kechara issss jussst kweh too ssshy to do a kweh lot at the moment, though ssshe'sss alwaysss kweh around...." She sighed, shaking her head, "And the children kweh are alwaysss playing with themsssselvesss." She shrugged and nibbled on her lime, "sssorry, I kweh rambled, eh?"
She smiled sheepishly, "And it wasssn't even kweh part of the conversssation either. Wow, I kweh feel awkward now..."

Fiara was quiet while Ashe spoke about her family, it seemed that she wanted to spend time with them but couldn't. "Don't be sorry, don't worry about it," she shook her head. "It - it must be hard if you want it, but no one seems to make time with you, I - I'm not family but if you want it, I would make time for you." Fiara stumbled out attempting to keep the emotion from her voice. It was upsetting to her that Ashe's family was so distant from each other because her family was important to her and she also felt the slipping away of her brothers and the carelessness that her fiery father could sometimes show.

Ashe grinned, "I'm not kweh sssure how I would act if it wassss any kweh different way. I remember in the kweh beginning that it wasss more quiet, but I don't think kweh I could sssleep if it wasssn't like it isss at my kweh houssse." She shrugged, examining another lime she had skewered.
Her yellow gaze shifted back to her friend, "Mm? Would kweh you?" She smiled gently, "That would be kweh great, Fiara, but if you're ever busssy--" She nibbled on the fruit carefully, sucking on the juices, "Don't mind kweh me."
She skewered another fruit and held it up near her friend's mouth, "Now, enough of thisss ssssilly kweh complaining." She grinned, "Would you like to kweh try one?"

So she had grown used to it, Fiara nodded with a slight smile still on her maw. "I would, anytime, what would I possibly be so busy with that I couldn't make time for my best friend?" Fiara questioned teasingly. "You can count on me Ashe."
Fiara had slowed in eating her fruits, she had enjoyed them all though they were different, they were all quite good. She had a small pile that she was sure she would not finish and she wanted to pick a few more to take home to her fathers so they could add them to dinner or something.
Now the smell of the green fruit filled her nose with that enjoyable citrus flavor and she leaned forward just enough to bite into the soft fruit, taking care to not bite Ashe's finger. Fiara laughed in spite of herself and brought up her left hand to her face, the lime was juicier than she had expected it to be and she had lime dripping down her chin, she was enjoying the sensation of sour and sweet too much to really care but she took the rest of the offered fruit from Ashe's claw brushing their hands together for an instant and she leaned back again.
Finishing the lime in two more bites, Fiara quelled the urge to lick her fingers clean, "That was really good, thank you Ashe." She still had juice on her chin when she leaned towards Ashe to take another.

Ashe merely smiled, happy that someone cared enough to make time for her, even if she only half-believed it. "I know. I'll kweh be sssure to asssk."
Ashe grinned at her friend as she took the fruit, "No need to be ssso kweh carefuly, love," she assured the midnight female, "I'm usssed to kweh bites. Caotl isssn't one to be kweh gentle when ssscolding me." The snake hissed reprovingly, having remained silent through most of the dealings. "Yessss, yessss, I know. It'sss kweh to make sssure I'm properly mannered." She stuck her tongue out at him and shrugged helplessly at Fiara, wanting her in on the little joke.
"I'm glad you kweh like them ssso much," She smiled and shook her head, "But you ssshould be kweh careful, they are kweh very juicy..." She reached forward, carefully snatching up the sticky paw, "You'll have to wassssh your kweh pawsss now, won't you?" Half-lidded yellow eyes stared at the paw, hoverings between thoughts.

Fiara was a little shocked to hear that Coatl bit Ashe and she made a small disapproving sound, "Coatl," Fiara began, "Ashe isn't a chew toy." She had a smile on her face to show she was kidding with the little snake. "Well seeing as she is so well mannered now, maybe you need to bitten some just to break you of your habit." She bared it teeth in a grin but any fierceness was lost because of the fruit bit in her teeth.
"I," Fiara began, attempting to say that she would be more careful, she'd wanted to try another lime, to suck the juice from it as Ashe had, one more taste of the intriguing flavor. But the thought left her mind when Ashe thwarted the attempt capturing her reaching paw with her own.
"I will..." Fi began again and trailed off, she didn't pull her paw away but looked at Ashe questioningly. Her yellow eyes were hidden, masking the green one's thoughts.

Ashe chuckled, "Ah, I probably kweh dessserved it sssometimesss," She glanced down at the snake, "He'sss not poisssonousss; at kweh leassst not to me." She shrugged, "I'm not going to kweh tessst it though," She frowned. If Coatl did turn out to be poisonous, it would not bode well for anything bitten by him.
Ashe stared at the sticky paw, wondering what the hell she had been thinking. Why had she taken the thing in the first place? There had been no reason to it. Well, no "friendship" reason to it. She released it automatically and sat up, crimson. "Ssssorry! I-I didn't kweh mean to do anything." She scooted away, entirely embarrassed.
What the hell was she supposed to do now? "I....I think we kweh might have a problem..." The words were hushed, almost whispered. Was she trying to say it to herself? She had been a slight bit too loud for that. She was in danger of being heard by her "friend".
