"It sounds...messy," she said, slightly wrinkling her nose. "N-N-Not that it doesn't sound delicious...because it does!"

And then she was back to cocking her head to the side. "Banana boat?" He was going to have to explain that one. Did it actually involve bananas?

"I grew up in a bilingual home, so I suppose my brain is just used to picking it up," she said with a shy shrug. Her shyness sort of dissipated when he made what she hoped was a joke, and she giggled. "If you ask Professor Lafay, she would say that I am the same." She was always stuttering in front of the woman. When he asked about her godfather, Kurumi really wasn't sure how to respond. She didn't really know him all THAT well. "Um...well...he used to be in a band and picked up a thing or to from traveling." She actually didn't know what he did now since he had left the Ministry.

Emrys grew uncharacteristically excited and actually leaned forward, turning his body toward her. "First, you cut into a banana, through the peel, lengthwise but don't go all the way through. It sorta looks like a boat, open on the top and not on the bottom. Then you open up where you made the cut and stuff it with marshmallow and chocolate." Emrys gestured as if there were a banana in his hand. "Then, you wrap the whole thing in.. in.." he paused and bit his lip, searching for the word. "Aluminum foil, I think the muggles call it, and throw it at the base of a fire to get warm and melty. After a bit, you pull it out, unwrap it without burning yourself, and eat the chocolatey, marshmallowy, banana goodness with a spoon, with the peel as the bowl." He dropped his hands into his lap and smiled. After a moments pause, he cocked his head thoughtfully. "I suppose you could even make them in the fireplace in the common room."

He wrinkled his nose in a sort of silent giggle when she smiled. "I get nervous," he admitted softly, dropping his gaze a bit. "And then I just trip over my words." He scratched the back of his head, looking away. "I. I'm.. I'm not good with people." The self-consciousness was back a bit, which meant so was the stutter.
