The command to sit came and Charles almost sat down exactly where he was. He just about managed to restrain himself and moved to sit across from Ramesses, where indicated, though still looking rather out of place amidst the soft furs.

Charles still didn't really understand the concept of drinking berries. Ramesses explained it, but Charles just stared at him, blinking. Fermented? What did that even mean? The coywolf nodded despite having no clue, though he clearly looked a little dumbfounded. Then he took one of the berries in his mouth and crushed it. The taste was honestly pretty bad, and Charles wasn't looking forward to having a whole bunch of these just because Ramesses wanted it so. But then, he had gotten food and a place to stay, so the least he could do in return was eat his weird-ass berries.

The coywolf awkwardly took another berry in his mouth, while Ramesses said that Akashingo was at a time of 'transformation'. What that mean? Charles asked Ramesses. Wasn't transformation change? Then how was it changing? And why did that even matter if Charles himself saw it for the first time anyway?

He took another berry in his mouth, but before he could chew on it Ramesses' question caught him off-guard and the berry rolled down his throat, causing Charles to burst into coughing. After a series of coughs the berry came up again at last, and Charles quickly crushed it between his teeth. Then he realised he still hadn't answered the question. My... wants? What were his wants? A question that Charles had never properly discovered the answers to, and honestly, he had no clue.
