That is an awfully large pile of cookies was the thought that originally passed, before her eyes were stolen by the pile of things on the table near them.
There were shiny and some of them seemed quite unknown to her.
After a few long moments of looking at them, finally coming back to herself and her vague intrusion per her own culture, there is a rose blush on her cheeks when she interjects, "That is quite a collection."
"You are a hopeless liar. I would not eat cookies from your pockets. You like them too sweet, and I know what sorts of things you keep in there beside food." She raises an eyebrow at him.

And stars. Funny how that works.

"Mostly, yes. It is not so bad a change, that one."
Mostly.
"And for you?"

There is a faint smile curving Moiraine's lips as she glides across the floor toward him.

It is not grapes he flings at her this time.
Instead it is an apple.
The pastel duck cookies are for later.

"Not today, I am afraid, Raven."
Moiraine does not wait for an invitation before she seats herself, however.

"There is reason for that, perhaps?"
If she is being stupid, he will shove food down her throat.
It is a brother thing.

A coin is picked up from the pile and given a cross-eyed examination by the other raven.
It is still shiny, but not so shiny as a new coin.

He does not look wary at all.

Pause.
"The rafters can only hold so much."

"That, perhaps, is very true."
Beat.
"You are not for having pockets?"
