Eihmo'tei's eyes went wide. He was successfully able to read Perryn's pantomime, as well as the actions of the other children. He raced off immediately, as they had done.
They were looking for food. The Zerdani sniffed the air, only for his sensitive nose to be besieged by a multitude of different scents. Oblivious to the strange looks and hushed comments that were directed towards him, Eihmo'tei darted from stall to stall, observing the foodstuffs at each.
Some things he recognized. He was no stranger to fish and meats, even if most of them seemed strange. Some things he recognized from what Kiara had shared. Other stalls, however, had much different things on display.
One had just plants, greenery that came in all different shapes and sizes. Another had strange containers. They were tall and narrow, and contained some sort of foul-smelling liquid. Eihmo'tei did not much care for that stall. The next stall had little hard, round things. They smelled earthy, like dirt, and seemed utterly useless. When the Zerdani attempted to pick some up for further inspection, the attending human protested angrily. He immediately dropped them and ran off.
In the air, there was a very sweet scent, one that really caught the Zerdani's attention. He followed it to a stall that had a strange kind of bread. They were almost like what Kiara had with her, but they came in bright colors the Eihmo'tei had never seen before. His eyes were fixated on them, warranting a look of concern on the face of the woman behind the counter.
