a. [Having received a phone call regarding his new profession, France is at your local grocery store, theoretically working. Really, he's just inspecting the produce. Contemplating bananas, examining watermelons, fondling cantaloupes, winking and smiling at any attractive person that happens to catch his eye

[ Shopping in the grocery lalala. ]

[ She picks up an apple. ] They're apples, but they're red... [ puts a few in her basket, then moves on. ] Hmm, maybe Laharl likes pears! [ takes some tomatoes lmao ]

[ looking for something else, though... ah, that man works here... right? ]

Ah, um, mister, where can I find the strawberries?

[theseineone]

[Oh, cute girl... France smiles at her brightly.]

Of course, mademoiselle, they are right this way... Fresh this morning, according to someone else, though I have no idea where from.

... Also, if you would like help looking for pears, I would be happy to help with that too.

[luckywing]

Mr. France? Ah! So you work here...

Mm. [ She shakes her head and picks up a tomato from her basket. ] I've already found them, but thank you. [ She smiles in return. ]

[theseineone]

Oui, you're the charming mademoiselle from the phone, non?

... That is a tomato, ma chère. [Picks up a pear and holds it out to her.] They are very delicious and useful when cooking many dishes, but they are not quite the same as a pear.

[luckywing]

A-ah, yes! [ She's a little flattered. But she figures he says that to everyone... ]

Really? [ She takes the pear with her left hand and compares the two. ]

This one is a pear in this world? [ Huh. ] It has the same color as an apple, but its shape is very different. What does it taste like?

[theseineone]

It's deliciously sweet, just like yourself. [France, you cliche...] Try it, on the house. [I'm sure his boss won't take it out of his paycheck at all.]

[luckywing]

[ She looks surprised, and then elated. Ah, everyone she's met has been nothing but nice! ... Well, Laharl could be nice too, deep down. Shush.

She takes a bite.

omnomnom ]

It's very delicious! Just like an apple. I'll have some of these, too!

[ She wants to try all the things! ]

[theseineone]

Fruit is very good for a growing young lady, take as many as you can carry! [Passes her a container of strawberries.] And these as well, of course.

[luckywing]

[ She's just put a dozen pears in her basket haha. oh what's that, she takes it too ] Oh... Mr. France, why aren't these grapes blue?

[theseineone]

... That would be because they are strawberries, ma chère.
