Today's Guest - Snowball

[azure_mercy]

[OOC: Millitimed, like, way back to early fall.]

Zhaan leads the children into the garden for the day's biology lesson. It's their first field trip - hopefully the first of many, if it goes well.

"Snowball?" she calls. He was supposed to meet them here, but she doesn't see him. "I've brought the children here."

Gavroche does not approve of the amusement. It's too close to patronising.

"Yes", he insists. "I wasn't by myself, it was a real revolution. Against the government."

"I beg your pardon comrade." Snowball says, curbing his amusement.

"Now, I believe comrade Zhaan said this was a biology lesson, not that I'm at all unhappy to talk about politics."

"We can learn about two things at once. We're smart."

She's already learned about trotters, so hey! The lesson is a success!

"Yes, you are," Zhaan chuckles, "but we are getting a little off subject." She leans down and whispers to the children: "Ask him about what he eats."

[smallestopener]

"What do you like to eat?"

[scapepig]

"I am an omnivore, which means I can eat more or less anything that constitutes food. Mostly I eat plant material; I do not eat animal products more as an ethical choice than because my digestive system would not tolerate it."

[smallestopener]

"What kind of plants do you like the best?"

She is envisioning Snowball grazing on hay and oats, similar to horses and horse-shaped creatures she knows.

"I'm rather partial to potatoes and other root vegetables, but will eat grains if they are what is available."

[smallestopener]

"Do you cook them in the kitchen or do you eat them from the ground?"

[scapepig]

I wat them raw usually, but I don't mind them cooked.
