Tal glanced up in surprise at the question. Seeing Finn munching on the strawberry reminded him of the banana and after a moment's hesitation he let the towel fall back over his shoulders and picked it up again. He took a small bite from the tip to give himself time to think while he chewed. The question seemed awfully familiar...
"I mean... it's not really smart, in Halo." He shrugged uncomfortably. "My mom always said, at least. 'Careful what you wish for, because she's always listening.' But guess it's probably different in other places, though. Places that aren't hers." Maybe it was just a stupid superstition.
But maybe it wasn't.
Another bite, when his stomach didn't reject the first one. He was calming down now, and the sweet, fruity heft of the banana was surprisingly welcome as he listened and nodded understanding. "Do you know if they're gonna rebuild the Tower?" he asked curiously, blithely oblivious to the tactlessness of the question.
