...I've recognized, like. Four or five flower names so far? And LiliS gives you kind of a lot of exposure.

I'm having better luck with fruits and vegetables, but I doubt listing off the ones that go together best in a parfait's gonna count as lecturing anyone.
Well, banana's good with anything. It can help neutralize the acid in kiwis, make 'em play nicer with other fruits, but as long as you've got really sweet strawberries and blueberries — rather than tart — you'll probably be okay.
[ ...Okay, he recognizes this as something that would make sense during a lecture, but. ]
—Yeah, well. ...There are other fruits, like peaches, that'll get pretty much swallowed up by whatever else you mix in there, so... if you want a peach parfait, it should really just be peach and cream. Less of a problem with banana, because who wants a banana parfait......
[ This is very awkward, he's so aware of every time Lark makes a note. ]
[ Lark wasn't even really thinking about how it would make sense to do this during a lecture, he just wants to have something to refer to later when he tries making deserts. ]
We don't have things like 'parfait' where I'm from, so this is useful.
Depends on why they don't eat much fruit or vegetables. Most little kids, I'd go for ripe strawberries. The little ones. [ Holds up his thumb and forefinger to demonstrate a little strawberry. ] They're sweet, but also pretty mild, and they're soft and easy to chew. Watermelon's another good candidate, if you cut it up into bite-sized pieces.
[ ......He could keep going. Might have a lot of stuff in his head about getting picky kids to eat fruit. Oooookay. Switching gears: ]
But if it's someone who just thinks fruit is boring, maybe hit 'em with a mango? Really flavorful, sweet but also tart.
Hehe, they're not exactly picky, but they're the kind of people who tend to reach for the really sugary stuff if they want something sweet. I'm a little worried they'll get diabetes one day.
[ He notes down the part about mango, in particular. ]
And what about for someone who doesn't like overly sweet things?

I don't get called cute a lot.
[ Beat. A bit of a self-mocking eyeroll. ]
I don't think I do, anyway. It definitely feels weird.

Suit yourself.

Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
I do have a whole new card now, though. Sadly, no square for getting called cute.
Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
A lot of cutesy stuff about flowers. This square, [ taps 'lecture someone about plants/flowers', ] was definitely a personal attack, though.

Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
I could just show you how it goes.
[ Maybe with less sugar? ]
Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
But I'd be tripping over what I'm trying to say a lot less.
Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
Re: + Lark, Monster Bingo 3
Okay, it's a plan. Once we're out of here. [ A little gesture around the game tower. ] —Any... fruit-related questions? To finish off my 'lecture'.
