Being big is NICE. 

So is Chibimon up in that tree Kyokyomon decided to investigate?

Permalink

Kyokyomon hasn't found any sign of him. And the fruits are sweet on the outside but too crunchy on the inside.

Glide onwards? There's huge orange fruits on the ground over there and one of them is wiggling.

Permalink

Oooh, wiggling fruits. Looks promising. 

She nabs a sweet-and-crunchy fruit to try first, though. 

Permalink

Another great thing about being big: hands. If she practices a little, she can grab a small red fruit and pull it off without having to land on anything.

In her mouth the fruit bursts with juice, sweet and slightly tart and suffused with the tingle of sunlight all across her, as though relaxing her and making her bloom.

(The center, though, is not just crunchy but hard. It's not obvious if she can even get into it.)

Permalink

And onwards we glide! Kyokyomon squiggles its descent back and forth to make sure she can keep up.

Permalink

Lalamon gnaws on the hard bit for a little before swallowing it whole. 

Wiggling fruit! What is up with the wiggling fruit. 

Permalink

Well it's big for a fruit, still a little bigger than her. It sits right on the ground with its non-wiggling brethren amongst a cover of vines and large leaves.

Permalink

Wow that is big. She walks around the fruit, inspecting it from all sides. 

Permalink

She'll find some scaly blue legs poking out of a low hole in the fruit. It seems its wiggles are driven by this attempt at burrowing.

Permalink

Oh no cute???

"Hi!" she says to the legs. 

Permalink

It seems wiggling out is at least as hard as wiggling in.

Permalink

Hmm. Hmmmmmmm. 

What happens if she grabs the edges of the hole and tries to pull them apart?

Permalink

Hard to get a grip with legs mostly filling the hole.

Permalink

What if she TRIES VERY HARD.

Permalink

(Kyokyomon spirals up the vegetable to get a look at the top.)

Permalink

Lalamon and the legs make a valiant effort at pulling, but mostly only wear themselves out.

 

And then the legs glow white, and shrink down,

Permalink

dropping out of the hole in a more familiar form.

Permalink

"Hi Chibimon! --Sorry to bother you." 

Permalink

"Consider it forgotten. —Want some of this fruit? The orange part is boring but the seeds are really good!"

Permalink

"You thought the fruit I liked was boring so I will try some of both," Lalamon decides. 

Permalink

At his reduced size, it's a simple matter for him to dip inside, and emerge bearing a little pile of stringy orange goop full of crisp white seeds. "You could try the outside if you can figure out how to get more off. But it's just as boring," he says, offering her the pile.

Permalink

(Kyokyomon is intently watching from the top of the fruit, a bit higher than Lalamon's leaves.)

Permalink

She stuffs the goop and seeds in her mouth. 

Permalink

The orange goop has a mushy, stringy texture and an earthy, buttery flavor, bitter with the promise of getting back at whoever wronged you.

The seeds are smoky and crisp, flavored with cinnamon, cloves, ginger, allspice and nutmeg, and clouded with the potential of dreams made real.

They do somewhat complement each other, the spice of the seeds spreading across and through the plainer goop for an overall rich, balanced combination.

Permalink

"...I don't like the goop very much, but not in a boring way," she decides. "But the seeds are very nice. Do you want to help me take some seeds to Caprimon? I think she is still unhappy."
