His childish question got her to smile too along with a mock face of disgust. "Because I am foreign to your culture and your food preferences, it could be asked either way." The silly (hehe) table was turned back on him for a retort. She'd listen to the real story first.
"Really?" Mayloo kind of hopped up in anticipation to see if the weather was at the right setting for bright bugs. "Barely have I ever seen them before..." With her town's population greater and more developed, rarely do they come around. "At least this gives me a chance to enjoy them more with you." Because she was already up, Mayloo decided it would be best to do more than just hold hands. Approaching his side, she tugged. "Let's go see them now!" Her tugging on his forearm decreased some. "Pleeeease?"
((I never knew that about lightning bugs but then again...I never see them.))
