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.
*staaaaaaaaaaaaaare*
Woah. This dessert or whatever it was sounded complicated yet simple all at the same time. Kurumi thought that she knew about food, but the things that Emrys was talking about were completely foreign to her. Granted, camp fires and that whole thing were just not popular things to do where she came from. "
Wow..." She really was just rendered speechless. Really, how did you respond to something like that? "
I've never even heard of that before!" But she had now, and she really wanted to try one.
All eyes were on him when he spoke again and Kurumi couldn't help but smile. "
You don't seem that way to me," she said honestly. She felt like she had been the one to stumble over her words and being self-consciousness. "
You...actually seem to be rather confident." Even if he was hanging out around ballet dancing trolls.
