Cory took Cera's positive assessment as a very good thing and tore off a leaf to eat as well. "Hmm" he said as he chewed, "Still not as good as...well other places, but it will do" he said.
Kit tore off an arm load and handed half of it to Petrie. "Thanks" Petrie smiled. he grimaced as he took a bit and even Kit's face scrunched up, but Cera was right, it wasn't too bad.

Twiz nodded, "Uh, yeah sir, I'm Twiz" he said back in flattooth with a smile, "sorry, I was just...shy there for a bit" he smiled and shrugged.
He didn't wonder if either Cyrix or Veli would wonder about his speaking flattooth, since he'd always been able to speak both...ever since his dad had taught him his native tongue when Twiz was a little flightless hatchling and before his mom's herd had become fed up with being half ruled by a flattooth and kicked him out.
He smiled at Veli, replying in flattooth for Cyrix's benefit of also hearing, "I don't know, what's there to do fun around here?"
