Linya and Bella are working on wishes, in between light chat about runecasting and their personal lives. It is radiantly obvious to people paying attention that Bella wants to kiss her and Linya is married, although neither statement is made.
Ivans are playing cards.
Mileses, including Solvei, are debating the wisdom of borrowing another strategy game from Bar; Mark, a voice of caution, does not know what will happen if all of them (Solvei, Mial, Miles, Milo, Stalas) all start screaming at each other in twenty directions.

"It would be obvious how. Give it here, I'll separate them for you," she says. And when she has the candy again, she - does something to it - and now she is holding two candies, one of which she hands to Stalas.

Stalas shrugs. Stalas eats the candy.
"...That is so weird," he says. "But in a good way!"

"I'm not sure, but it's never seemed like a good idea to try it," says Sable. "Stacked items are sort of... abstract? Stalas, did you notice a difference between the candy and the stack?"

"I think so," he says. "Now that you mention it, the separated candy had more... texture to it. The - 'stack' - almost felt like glass. Pull out another one?" She does, and he examines the stack and the candy side by side. "Yeah. The stack looks more... fake. If you pay close attention."
He eats the second candy.
"Wow, I'm very happy with my decision to try these."

"They're all right. It's not so much the taste I'm enjoying as the... feeling of unnatural health. I definitely wouldn't want to eat fifteen of them in a row if I wasn't getting unnatural health out of it."
He continues eating candies as Sable separates them out for him.

Elarron is carrying on a conversation with Inlaith that seems to consist mostly of body language and facial expressions.

"What does unnatural health feel like?" asks Miles.
"...Cozy," says Stalas.
"...Cozy," says Stalas.

"...I want to ask furball how valuable the cozy health of my organic body is. I wonder if the door will let me out yet."
She creeps up on the door. It continues existing. She snatches and turns the knob before it changes its mind and leans out into her house.

Several Mileses peer curiously at the door for a glimpse into this strange world, but although he is also curious, Stalas keeps eating candy instead.

Bella leans, and consults her notes on wish designs on her pen, and makes various facial expressions.
Eventually she shuts the door.
"Furball nopes all the good wish ideas, says that soul gems are only a little more durable than random rocks of similar size and physical destruction will absolutely do the job of killing attached person, and organic body health is useful in most of the usual ways for everyday purposes even for people who are technically soul gems."

"Does that mean you would like some cozy health of your very own?" asks Stalas, accepting his first Life Fruit from Sable.

"Come over here and have some, then," says Sable. She slides a red-yellow pair away from the main row on the table to reserve it for Bella. "...Also, if I can get back to Terraria and come back here safely, I could make a pair of wings for anybody who wanted some. I could make a bunch of things, actually, but wings are the one I'm most willing to give away."

Bella goes over to the cozy health food. "I would also love a pair of wings, assuming they will somehow not make me look freakish in ordinary situations. Can you separate these out for me?" she adds, handling the stack.

"Yeah, let me just finish this—" and she separates the rest of Stalas's Life Fruits into a crowded but manageable double handful, which she pours into his hands and then turns to Bella and separates out a heart candy for her.
The separated candy is indeed noticeably less glassy in texture and appearance than the stacked version.
It tastes like rock candy with a strong hint of cinnamon, and kindles a lasting feeling of faint warmth, like a soft blanket and a mug of hot chocolate on a chilly day. Except 'warmth' isn't quite the right concept, it's not a temperature - 'comfort' might be more accurate.

"It is! It's great," says Sable. She separates another heart candy and hands it to Bella; this one, when eaten, approximately doubles the strength of the faint cozy feeling.

"What kind of concrete effects do you notice from it besides it helping your ground problem?"
greatestgift
"More resistant to injury, heal faster when injured - I could say it's like constantly having a dense ground reinforcement everywhere, but you wouldn't know what that means."

"Have another candy."
The coziness increases linearly, by the same amount per candy eaten.
"Oh, and you can take Terraria wings off, they're handy that way. They also conveniently miniaturize but if you can't separate candies I'm not sure you can miniaturize wings. Since you can eat candies, though, I suspect you can wear wings."
