Here are some flowers and he can ask some bees which way to the beehive. 

Well that's remarkably adorable.

Most people are really not that impressed by it.

Why? It's so great!

Not very Noldorin, though, is it? There's the beehive. He's going to ask the bees if it's okay for them to clean half of it out. 

Well, to be fair, she wouldn't know a Noldor from a Sylvan. So what? It's still great.

Noldor: sing less than average. Do more than average. Do not typically live in trees. 

And yet: talking to bees, still adorable.

They're gonna get a lot of honey, do people where she's from eat honey or is that one of those things that's only edible in paradise. 

Honey is extremely edible even in non-paradise situations! Also delicious.

Good. Then they shall have honey, in a little bit. A few anxious bees will sting him, and he'll apologize to them when they do, but most of the bees are cooperating. 

So adorable.

Honeycomb! Has she ever had honey like this, it's the only way to have it. 

Not very often, but not never! The only way, really, is kissing someone who's got honey on their lips not also acceptable?

Actually, there's something to be said for that. 

They can do both. Both is probably the best option here.

This will be lots of fun! He will take even longer to remind himself not to marry girls he meets in the woods. And he will light a fire so they can heat and purify the wax and keep eating honey while it melts. 

These are supposed to be garish fruits. Where can we find bright pigments?

There are various beetles we use for some dyes, there are some flowers that are bright enough, I think we grind some things out of rock - dyes aren't my specialty, but I bet we can do alright -

Well, sure, the point sure as hell isn't to make 'em pretty. Best time for trial and error.

I may in fact be compulsively obliged to make them as pretty as I can given the premise. Is that not an impulse you feel?

...No? Isn't absence of pretty the point of this hat?

Yeah, but - it has to be the prettiest ugly hat it can be. 

I guess if the individual fruits were pretty, but they looked terrible together, the juxtaposition would be more impressive than something that just looked shitty, she allows.

Exactly! Stunning talent and no taste is much better than sheer incompetence.
