:::Cora put her teeth to it, and pressed down slightly, figuring out what kid of texture to expect. She found that it was much softer than an apple...and as she took the first bite, she'd get the sense that it was a whole lot smoother feelign on her tounge...it sort of melted. Though just as sweet.... she didn't know the word of course. She wondered how in the world two things could taste so different but have such similar qualities:::
It doesn't taste very much like wine. :::She finally said::: It's sort of like an apple...I don't know the word for it.
:::She liked it though, and was suddenly very grateful that Alex had given it to her. It meant a lot. Cora cheerfully tried another bite:::

Clare almost looked shocked by her expression alone at the wine comment. She certainly hoped the chocolates didn't taste like wine. "Not so bad, eh?"
"Perhaps smooth, or creamy?" In reference to the apple comment, Clare wasn't all that sure what Cora had just eaten but figured that might be close.
"Try another, depending on where those came from they all be different."

Different?
:::Cora said, still partially chewing. She finished this one before reaching for another one to try. She picked up and inspected it closer. This one was indeed a different shape. Rectuanglular, and with little horizontal stirpes along the top:::
Hhhm... yes, so there are different kinds of chocolates.
:::She didn't waste any time nibbling this one. She reached part of the filling and was surpirsed when it was fluffy:::
Mmrooh! :::She said, hafl chewing again:::
Thish one ishz szhoft...!

Clare dropped the book in her lap and pressed her hands to mouth trying to hide the giggles. That expression on Cora's face was priceless.
"Yes, theres many. Chocolate on its own comes in different varieties, but once they become small chocolates like the ones in those box they can become endless. The filling was probably the soft part."
She motioned at the box. "Some may be hard, or even sticky on the inside."

:::She finished that one too, delighted by her new discovery:::
Oh! :::Cora didn't hesitate at all toe grab the next one. This one had a dome shape to it, and she began nibbling the edge. It wasn't long before a distressed noise escaped Cora's tightened lips:::
Mmnnn!! :::a little bit of red gooy stuff trickled down her chin. She paniced to figure out what to do with this one to avoid it spilling its entire contents onto her face, so she quickly put the entire thing in her mouth. It lookd a little painful to her almost, to have that much flavor all in one bite:::

Clare had seen the impending doom of the dome one coming but hadn't said anything, wanting Cora to discover it for herself. "I think you may have found the cordial." Clare grinned. "Was there something small and soft inside?"
Realizing Cora might attempt try all of them at once and being new to the confectionary world, Clare thought a bit of a warning might be in order. "You may not want to try all of them in one sitting though. That much sugar might give you a bit of an upset stomach."

:::Cora nodded her head, and swallowed:::
Yes... That one tasted like wine almost... Are these like poison too, if you eat too much? :::She'd recieved the same warning about alcohol:::
:::After that experience, she was a little more wary about the others in the box:::

"What? Oh no, not at all." Clare paused thinking for a moment. "Have you ever eaten too much of something and gotten a very full feeling in your stomach? It be similar to that."
She laughed to herself though. Death by chocolate, wouldn't that be a way to go. "I highly doubt you'd die from eating all of them at once Cora."

"I wa-er.." She hadn't really thought about it, too caught up in watching Cora experience them for the first time was a trip in itself. "U- Sure, thanks."
Looking at the box, Clare plucked up a little square. The top and sides marred with narrow little ridges. Biting into it she almost made as much of a mess as Cora with the cordial. A thin caramel strand trailing down her lip.

What is that one?
:::Cora watched closely...if she saw another one with a similar shape, she'd be ready, having witnessed Clare''s mistake. Tricky little things...chocolates. But delicious:::

"Mmmmm" She giggled. "Caramel.. its sort of a sticky sugary substance."
Popping a finger across her lip then into her mouth, she gently worked all signs of the gooey mess away.
"I think you-" Clare was going to say Cora would probably enjoy the feeling of that one. It was very different, but as the still slightly sticky finger made contact with the leather bound book cover she was gone.

:::Cora's shoulders fell just a smidge when Clare faded away. But a moment, she sighed lightly. At least she got to see her again. She was starting to feel hopeful about the left over people she still had not run into. Nyx...Kal...Johnathan... these were among the shortening list.
After a moment, Cora gathered up her chocolates, and headed to the reference section where she innitially intended. From the dictionaries and encyclopedia's she was carrying, she was she'd find the right information. She carried mounds of them effortlessly back down the hall, through the main room, and to her guest room, where she'd get a good self-taught chocolate lesson:::
*Exit Cora*

**Enter Maggie from Main, 695**
*Maggie walks in from the hallway, her steps slowing as she enters the room. She hesitates next to the study tables, then approaches one of the bookshelves. She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, trying to concentrate on what she wants to find. She opens her eyes and reaches up, pulling the nearest book down. Her cheeks redden as she looks down at it*

*She takes another breath, opens the book to a random page . . . then snaps it shut again, her face burning* Oh good heavens . ...
