Eve and Loki simply paw at the brown, fuzzy fruit with no luck. Similarly, Zhu has little luck while Najya uses it as a chew toy, though unable to pierce the thick outer shell.

Bill, Isaac, Shane and Dante, though, seems to have some better luck. As they examine it closely, and Shane nurses his jaw, they find a slightly soft spot on the fruit. It doesn't look visibly different from anywhere else on the fruits, but as you press this spot you can feel the fruit separating in half. A little more force and it's split cleanly in half along seam that was hidden beneath the fruit's skin.

The fruits themselves are filled with a colorless, slightly cloudy liquid with little bits of pulp floating in it. It is very sweet and thirst quenching with a flavor similar to pears. The fruit itself appears to grow on the inside of the shell like some kind of fruit-geode. The flesh is pale and seedless, soft and sweet and very juicy with a flavor similar to the juice. All in all, it's pretty good.

"Eureka!" Dante exclaimed, feeling the fruit split under his touch. Quickly he knelt down and did the same to the fruits Eve and Loki were pawing at, allowing the two to get at the delicious bounty inside.

"Looks like tonight's dinner will be shroom-loaf and fruit, courtesy of this forest." Dante said with a grin.

Shane eagerly devours the fruit, savoring the coolness that eases the hurt of his jaw. It is delicious! He shares some with Mystery and Roa, much to the Houndour's delight. In the end, the pair are licking their lips and wiping off the spare juice. "Don't mind a meal made up of those," Mystery declares, "Taste good, they do."

Zhu cracks one open for Najya and Faisal each before opening his own. He relishes the feeling of the cool liquid running down his throat. Lukewarm water and jerky get old quickly.
"I suppose we should have checked to see if this is alright for consumption," Zhu says, licking his lips. "But the Aipom and Mankey seem to enjoy it well enough. Flynn, see if you can find some slightly un-ripe ones that we can store at the Treehouse for travel. I doubt the rest of this land is this forgiving."

Bill smiles as his fingers find the soft spot on the shell and the fruit splits clean in half. "Excellent. A most curious mechanism, I must say though. Now for the taste..." He takes one sniff of the aroma, treasuring the sweetness, before taking a tentative sip from the juice. His eyes widen as he tastes it. "Sweet Mew, after days of naught but water this is nectar to the tongue." Picking out some of the fruit flesh and carefully tasting it, he once again is pleasantly surprised. "Excellent, most excellent." He swiftly finishes the fruit before sending out Nikola and Dolos and opening another two of the fruits, offering one of them to both of them. "Eat up, there is plenty and we do not know if our supplies we'll stay as steady."

Nikola, tempted by the sweet smell, dives face first into the fruit, emerging several moments later, face covered in juice. Bill sighs and chuckles at the reptile, shaking his head, before looking at Dolos.

Flynn finishes off his fruit and looks up at Zhu. "Was planning on doing that this morning, actually, before the whole bruhaha with the tribe an' the mankey. Could certainly do it, but I'd need some sorta sling to keep 'em in - be difficult to climb while holdin' 'em."

Isaac dug into the fruit, releasing Lolth, Midna, and the still as of yet unnamed Weedle and began sharing with them as well. Lolth took up her regular perch on his head after eating her fill, with Midna still being unsure of her position in this 'clan'. The Weedle stayed preoccupied with the food.

After taking another large mouthful of food Isaac began speaking to Dante "If ya still wanna go looking for food and stuff I'm ready whenever you are. Or if you wanted to look for them Deerling you found before, we could probly find em without too many problems"

"I guess we could try for both, though I imagine we'll have more luck finding the food than the Deerling... I got the impression the herd was heading out of the forest when I saw them last." Dante said.

"I'm also ready to go when you are."

A wicked grin spreads across Isaacs face as he stands up, cracking his neck and returning his Weedle and Midna, leaving Lolth on his shoulder "I reckon if we look hard enough we just might find some stragglers, or at least somethin close. Though that can play second fiddle to us findin food and whatever. I'll leave the 'what' of what we're lookin fer to you, that way I can focus on the lookin, ya dig?" Quickly sheathing his blade after cleaning the fruit juice from it he looks at Dante, grin still spread wide, and said "I'm ready to get this ride started!" before jumping down to the base of the tree

In a less impressive display of ability, Dante awkwardly scrambled back down to ground level after Isaac, recalling both Eve and Loki and immediately releasing them back out onto the forest floor.

"Let's go foraging then."
