Giggle.

"So, do you, like, have to stay on the river, or...?"

"Nearby, at least."

"Wanna join the picnic?" She waggles a hunk of bread. "There's food."

Thoughtful, tempted hum. "Maybe..."

She takes a bite. "It'sh really good!"

He floats closer, humming...

And then moves forward, as fast as a boat stolen by rapids, and snatches her bread from her hand before she can react.

"Wh- Hey!"

He takes a big bite! 

"It is good!"

Pout!!

He offers the bread back. 

Jealous nibble.

"What else is there?" He holds out his hand. 

Berries, jerky, mixed nuts, a bit of wine, goat cheese...

All fascinating stuff! Though he likes the berries and wine best. 

Well, she can always find more berries. But that's less true of the wine.

"How do you make wine?"

"You take some juice and feed it some yeast, then you let it sit for a couple seasons."

"Sounds boring."

"Usually you do other stuff while you wait."

"But those things aren't drinking wine..."

"They could be, if you had the foresight to start making more batches even earlier."

"Pah."

He plucks a large leaf off a bush and twirls it into the shape of a cup, then scoops some of the river water into it - 

Which turns golden. "This way's more fun."

"Oooh!" Alaudala applauds.

He takes a very smug sip.

"Can I try?"
