Ky nodded and pulled the bag out of her pocket, offering it to him. “It’s really good.”

He took a strip from the bag after a pause and examined it gingerly for a moment before biting off a small piece. He chewed, brow furrowed, then shook his head in disbelief. "It doesn't just taste like salt," he said in surprise.

(Haha I am grocery shopping and just got to perform my Tall Person Duty and get a box down for a 5’2” woman jumping for the top shelf haha)

Ky nodded. “I can point him out, if we’re together next time… though probably best not to walk up together. I freaked him out.”

"That's very kind." He smiled. "Thank you! But why did he 'freak out?'"
