[Sorry, Ragna, it's part of her contract with Camille.]

It's a fruit! The edible part of it grows out of the cornflower, and botanists have classified it as a fruit from that. Pretty cool, right?

[MUST CAMILLE CURSE HIM WITH KNOWLEDGE]

What the hell?? How is it a fruit, what are botanists on?? This is worse than trying to figure out what tomatoes are supposed to be! How am I supposed to sleep now?!

[naviagate]

[It's good for the soul, Ragna!!!]

I'm pretty sure tomatoes are also classified as a fruit, but I would need to fact-check myself.

But it's a fruit because the seedpod forms from the flower! A seedpod that we eat, btw. Just consider it a savory fruit, like dragonfruit!

I know what it technically is but it's still a goddamn vegetable to me! So is corn! What do you think people are gonna say when they order a fucking fruit dessert and someone comes out with some corn shortcake?

It's weird!

[naviagate]

I mean.

That does kind of exist already.

There's cornbread, after all, and it can be sweet or savory depending on how you prepare it.

[give him a minute he's googling something

some time after falling down a recipe rabbit hole:]

Fine. You got me there.

TIL, I guess. And apparently you can even make putting out of it.

[naviagate]

[It's quite the rabbit hole, for sure!]

Hehe! I think we've all learned something tonight.

Sorry for interrupting your rest, by the way! I'll let you get back to sleep.

[tfw you're a cook]

It's... fine, it's not a big deal.

Why'd you text this to me anyway? It's late.

[naviagate]

[It's a blessing and a curse. From a baker to a cook.]

Oh. Well.

I suppose you can say it's a quirk?

[centralfiction]

[... Quirk, huh?]

If you say so.

[naviagate]

Anyway, I hope you have a good night, Ragna!

Oh, before I let you go. I'm typically up at around midnight for a little bit. If you ever need someone to talk to, I wouldn't mind it.

[centralfiction]

[Oh my god, with these people being so fucking nice to him. Christ... Don't they get how bad it is for them?

He almost considered taking her offer for a second, he's been in a rut all day and now how was he supposed to sleep it off? Fuck...

Fuck it all... fuck, he missed them, he missed his family.]
