the way this is truly so much closer to food that he'd be used to eating. he looks on with fascination because this is actually his wheelhouse, brimming with excitement. ]
How lucky that we should find it here!
[ he takes some skewers from a cup to the side, and stabs one, two pieces of fish. the wriggly ones, because anyone who isn't silly enough to be grossed out knows that those would be freshest. he offers one to viktor. ]
A taste of home... I hope it's as good as you remember.
[you forcing the fish to be whole and suffering is making me lose my mind serial killer behavior
He will take one of the skewers, though, smiling wryly. He did not think he would see anything like this here.] A taste of Jericho's cooking. He was a shark, you know. [Sidon would have liked Jericho probably.
He clinks their sticks together gently like it's a toast, and then he turns it so he can bite it with no hesitation and slide it off the stick into his mouth. The blue fish and the golden sauce look absolutely disgusting, but the taste is very good shockingly. Tender and juicy, and the sauce is tangy, like ginger.]
[ wow backtags! can you believe this was all in the same week. anyway, it's fine, the fish are dead...... ]
Like me? [ he looks so unduly excited. the way there's not even another zora that looks like a shark. help. ] I wish I could meet him!
[ they can clink their fish kabobs and enjoy a bite, or in his case basically eat half of the whole thing at once. he only pauses to say something, with a silly, stunned stare. ]
Viktor—this is delicious!? [ it's the closest thing to a taste from home that he's tried. he's reeling. ] I was beginning to doubt I'd ever taste anything good again...
[ he just hasn't complained about it because there's so much worse to deal with than food, but. also, the food sucks. ]
[The corners of his mouth quiver. He covers his mouth because he's hastily trying to swallow the piece of fish he had eaten, but then very suddenly after, he bursts into genuine laughter at Sidon's reaction.
What is Sidon so cute for...]
A lot of people are scared to try it. They think it looks disgusting, or... they're worried it's polluted because it's from the Undercity. But it isn't. It's one of the few things not polluted.
[He is... happy that Sidon is happy? Sidon's enthusiasm makes him smile.]
[ NOOOooo not the laugh!!!! he grins after he's finished his own mouthful, a flash of sharp teeth. ]
Then they're fools for missing out! [ thinking stuff looks gross just because it's Different. bigotry at its most basic. ] I wish I could see your home someday...!
[ maybe he could give the water a good cleaning too. ]
