Kai watched attentively, noting that she ate everything that was food. He thought it odd that there were people who didn't eat the grape leaf. He knew that some didn't eat seaweed, but this was something grown on land. Then again, his father's people occasionally ate their food raw and his mother's people liked to barbecue everything - sometimes until it was unrecognizable.
People were weird.
He picked up the grape leaf and took a bite like a 'normal' person. Even though he was new to this country, he didn't consider himself a 'tourist'. It tasted interesting, good, even. Yes. Kai nodded and made a 'mmm' noise as he chewed, giving Elira a small smile - with his mouth closed, of course. He had manners.
Then he placed the grape leaf down and licked his fingers before picking up the gyro. He tried to replicate the way she had held her gyro, but some of the 'insides' fell out anyway. He looked up at Elira, briefly, before taking a bite, chewing slowly to taste it properly. His chewing sped up and he nodded with more 'mmm' sounds. It was very good. Setting it down, he picked up the parts that had fallen out with his fingers and licked them after with pleasure.
“I like Greek food,” he said decisively.
