Archivist Catch-All

WHO: Jon & YOU
WHERE: Coruscant - Various places
WHAT: Coruscant Event catch-all. Some open, some closed prompts. See what your little Eldritch avatar has been doing...
WHEN: Coruscant Event
WARNINGS: One of them includes Tony. Approach at own risk.

The Perfect Gift [ OPEN ]

Coruscant is- A lot. A lot of city, a lot of people a lot of- Everything. Even for Jon, who has been living in London for a good decade now. But even London seems unnaturally small compared to Coruscant. And yet living there has ensured that Jon isn't intimidated by crowds. In fact, he has come to find himself quite capable of adjusting himself to their situation and as he learns more about the planet and its inhabitants, Jon also learns more about how to navigate it and find that which he is looking for.

Which proves invaluable While out to acquire goods and supplies he deems useful for their inevitable return to Temba.

It's a long list Jon has for himself. A variety of clothes and footwear are on it, including some actual swimwear, equipment and supplies for his little chemistry lab, writing utensils, notepads, new variants of tea and other luxuries, a couple of handy little tools and - Gifts. And especially those gifts prove to be the difficult part. Since the person Jon is trying to find a gift for is none other than Tony. The man that tries to fix everything and constantly makes gifts for others himself. Finding a gift for such a man is harder than one might wish to think.

Apparently a selection of treats are about to become part of the assortment of gifts Jon has already picked up and he is currently studying the packaging of what may be actual chocolate. One can never go wrong with some sweets and a good wine. Jon smiles softly to himself and his attention drifts over to something that is either a futuristic bottle opener or a very peculiar toy, making him frown before reaching out to pick it up, vaguely addressing either the person next to him or no one in particular. "No idea what this is, but- I'm curious."

Being A Monster [ OPEN ]

Some may say it is ill-advised for Jon to be heading down into the lower levels of this multi-layered city. And yet here he is, his worn clothes and too large poncho making him easily melt into the crowd of beings who ignore his seeking stare. A stare that isn't seeking for difficulties with finding its target, but rather because every being down here proves to be a remarkably suited target for his needs.

He takes the easy route and turns into the next bar he passes. There are plenty of dreadful stories here for him to request, confine to memory and later record. Which will have to wait until they are back in Temba, since his tape recorder has not been brought along on this trip.

It's later that night - Or maybe early the next morning that the Archivist returns to the hotel they are all staying in. His steps swaying a little from the alcohol, but a contentment rarely seen by many on his expression. He even gives a cheerful wave to anyone else he encounters at this odd hour. "Someone is up early!"

Among Force Sensitives [ CLOSED to Obi-Wan ]

It's not without a healthy degree of trepidation that Jon walks up to the intimidating structure that he has been told to be the Jedi Temple. He is dressed in a set of new clothes, which he assumes to be local enough in style and clear of the wear and grime of the clothes he has been wearing down over the past months on Agra 10. Well fitting grey pants covering the better part of dark boots and a light, long-sleeved tunic paired with a very functional messenger bag is just one outfit the Archivist has come to pick up so far and he finds himself particularly happy to now own some footwear that isn't meant to be purely decorative while one spends the better part of the day behind a desk.

Though even his new attire doesn't fully keep Jon from pausing briefly in his steps to look up the massive building. Home and training ground of the Jedi. Jedi like Cal and Obi-Wan and Ezra. Beings sensitive to an energy field called The Force.

Beings that can sense something is not right with him.

Jon swallows once, hand tightening around the strap of his bag before he pushes forward, expression set into a stubborn set of determination. It will be fine. The Jedi Master has agreed to accompany him into the Temple, meaning Jon won't be heading in there by himself. It will be fine.

At the top of the stairs, he comes to another stop, finding himself looking up at massive columns of a height that raises questions for the Archivist. Questions he will be keeping to himself at least for the time being before taking his attention back down and looking around for the man he is supposed to meet up here at the very entrance of the Temple, muttering to himself. "...Christ. I hope he hasn't forgotten."

It's a date! [ CLOSED to Tony ]

New clothes that actually fit him and that Jon feels good in are but one of the things this planet has provided. Another thing is the chance to get his hair cut back to a more reasonable length, get the items required for a decent shave and of course have a proper bath. Small luxuries that add noticeably to Jon feeling human again. And to provide him with the confidence to ask Tony out for a proper date. How many chances like this will they get anyway?

The beings tending to their needs at their hotel have been quite helpful to him with setting everything up and recommending the right places not too far away. From a good, rather exclusive restaurant high up in a tall spire looming over Coruscant's upper level along with similar, yet distant skyscrapers and providing an excellent view to an artificially created and very unique park at the very base of said spire to the suggestion of a sensual and very private message provided by specially programmed droids up in their hotel's poshest suite offered by the beings in charge of the hotel tending to their guest's needs. Being that are remarkably eager to please this easy source of good credits. And after all these months on Agra 10, Jon has very little qualms about spending what the Agrii provide them with.

Having arrived a little early, Jon has already been seated at one of the rather few tables the restaurant actually possesses. All set apart and separated with strategically placed pots filled with colorful alien flora and a stunning view out of the large windows making up the entire outer walls of the place. A soft tune hangs in the air that Jon listens idly to while looking out of the window, over the city and every once in a while daring a glance down, feeling a bit thankful that Mike Crew hasn't instilled an even greater fear of heights into him. His hands are loosely clasped in front of him on the table, having very little to do at the moment.

When he hears a set of footsteps approaching, Jon turns his attention away from the window to greet who he assumes to be Tony with a gently, yet genuine smile.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

With Jon's protest running out of steam, Tony carefully shifted over onto his hip with one foot still on the floor and leaned his head in his hand where he could admire Jon's very rapid dishevelment between his blushing and clothes and hair already harassed from the short trip. Out of the corner of his eye, his fond focus and sly grin still not drawn easily away, he spotted a shiny wrapper on Jon's chest that he plucked up to tear into with his teeth and pop the candy blindly into his mouth.

This was a mistake. At first, Tony swallowed thickly around this weapon of destruction on his tongue, eyes screwing up and trying very hard not to spoil Jon's culinary adventure, but there was no way he could eat this thing. Very quickly, he was holding it cautiously between his teeth and trying to talk around it without letting it touch any more of his mouth, and reported, "Thich ich hoari-ll...," with a desperate raise of his eyebrows for help.

And Jon watches the course of expression Tony's face goes through in comparatively little time.

First the smug eagerness as he locates the candy and makes a little display of tearing it open, the casual confidence when he pops the treat into his mouth and then the quick descent into dread and regret that even makes Jon wince in return.

"...that bad? I... Haven't really tried any of these...?" Jon says, but then props himself up onto his elbows, driven up by his own stubborn curiosity, announcing "Let me try!" And he brings his own lips close enough to Tony's to carefully take the candy between his own teeth and free Tony from this burden without touching the now certainly sticky thing.

He drops back down onto his back and takes a moment to taste the thing himself but quickly freezes and both his hands come up to cover his face as he gives a disgusted laugh. "Jesus! This is vile!" Jon manages to announce and quickly looks around for the wrapper that has kept this particular piece of candy away from them before.

This was not an evil that Tony would have wished on anyone else, but he was both surprised enough by Jon's enthusiasm and eager enough to get it out of his mouth before he started drooling that he froze as Jon sat up, then rapidly recoiled from the presence of the candy by slouching down onto his knees at the foot of the bed, tongue sticking out all of the way. His arms were still splayed out in front of him, up the mattress and one spread over Jon, where he lingered curiously despite his suffering to witness Jon's reaction, really not sure if he expected the candy to appeal to Jon's questionable tastes or shock him as much as it did Tony. The resulting laughter was contagious, though Tony felt like he was panting around it, and tried to scramble to rescue both of them. He crinkled the wrapper still in his hand at Jon's side helpfully for Jon's attention as he looked around for something to help get the taste out of his mouth. Could any of these other packages be trusted?

Once his hands were freed, he grabbed another from the bed at random, a distinctly different shape and squishing easily under his fingers where the previous nightmare had been a kind of hard candy--though, that didn't guarantee anything. This one, Tony cautiously licked after tearing it open, and the revealed animal-shaped gummy was either that fantastic or just such pure relief to taste of anything that wasn't a blackhole, devoid of sweetness that it was quickly in Tony's mouth as well. He grabbed Jon by the clothes to drag him closer and hold him fast by the collar to more happily share this candy with him, starting to laugh again at the taste of the horrendous one still on Jon's lips until Tony had licked it away.

Jon reacts to the noise of the wrapper not too differently as a cat and is quick to half sit back up and take it to deposit this edible nightmare back into it, pressing the foil tightly around it and tossing it into the small bowl set on the nearby nightstand with a grimace that shows both his disgust with the thing as well as his relief to be rid of it.

While Tony looks for a counteragent, Jon also scans the other present wrappers for copies of the first one, spotting two of them and grabbing the first to chuck it into the same bowl, only barely resisting the urge to toss it straight out of the room. Tony grabs him while he scans for potential other dread candy, bringing that thought to an abrupt stop, the more rough and somewhat demanding action initially making Jon want to stubbornly resist in response to the sudden peak of his own heartbeat. But realization overtakes reflex and he ends up eager to accept the unspoken offer of a kiss and the resulting override of that horrid taste in his mouth. Which is a moment of bliss after that first experience of their candy taste testing. Not that he wouldn't have welcomed the kiss in itself just as willingly.

He wraps his arms around Tony's neck for support when Tony starts laughing again and Jon meets that laugh with a rueful grin. "Right, heh. Not taking any of those back to Temba. Not unless we want to weaponize them." Which of course is a joke and Jon makes sure to punctuate it with one more small kiss to Tony's lips.

Forgetting that he had pulled Jon down by then and eyes still blissfully closed, Tony's hold on his shirt weighed greedily heavier at that kiss of finality to try to pull Jon back in to really make sure no traces of the offending candy were left in his mouth, very heroically. The tug made him realize he was basically holding himself up by it, though, and Tony smoothed Jon's shirt out apologetically before sinking back onto his heels, letting his hand drop to trace down Jon's calf and begin to help him out of his shoes instead.

"I bet you," he replied, tossing the candy wrapper he held much more carelessly over his shoulder to land among the alluring trail they had dropped into the bedroom, "you put one of those in your mouth the next time that place has got us seeing shit, it'll knock you back to reality so hard you come out the other side." He was chuckling again with a renewed shocked frown at how very bad that taste had been as he tossed Jon's shoes with as much care as he had the candy wrapper, then twisted to deal with his own boots. "Where did you find that? Were they selling those to children? That can't be legal, that's assault."

"I might be more inclined to risk the hallucinations." Jon returns, doing his share to assist Tony in getting their shoes off the bed even though he isn't too happy to see his new footwear tossed around this carelessly. "And you won't believe me when I told you these seem to be quite popular here. Ever... Well. Supermarket has them. And I found their brand-exclusive store in a market-area for food specialties!"

As he says this, Jon shrugs off the cape he is still wearing and manages to toss it over a nearby chair. They are clearly beyond the need for these outer layers. And likely a couple more. With the cape out of the way, Jon looks over which other candies have survived the trip and picks up one that at least looks like chocolate wrapped in a clear foil to point out its existence to Tony. "I have hope for these to taste at least close to actual chocolate."

Wrinkling his nose in horror and disgust, Tony refused to accept that this taste was popular because it was enjoyable but for some more inscrutable, alien purpose. Like Dutch licorice. "Okay, well, get rid of anything else from that brand then, it's out," he decided as he clambered his way properly up onto the bed finally, grabbing another package at random to toss it as well.

He settled up at the head of the bed, propped up on the pillows and legs splayed to pat between them and invite Jon to bring his chocolate where Tony could snake an arm around his waist and draw him close. Despite the thus far dangerous results, he was willing to support Jon's hopeful idealism until at least this treat had proven inedible as well. At that point, the rest of the mess left on the bed would have to become suspect. "There's supermarkets here?" was probably a stupid question, but Tony had hardly been inside a supermarket on Earth and hadn't even considered that kind of thing to explore on this planet when there was robot components and easily bribed government officials to think about.

Jon is willing enough to stay reluctant about that particular brand for the time being, though that doesn't mean that he won't be curious to do some more testing by himself later. For now, however, he will follow Tony's invitation to settle with him, careful to not crush all of the remaining treats while shifting himself over. Once there, he starts prying open the wrapping of the potential chocolate.

"They have supermarkets, yes." Jon muses while focused on his unwrapping. "Not too different from the ones on Earth, but- Even bigger. Many reaching over different levels of the city and encompassing large ranges of types of food, drink and daily necessities. Easy to get lost in. Everything on this planet is just massive!" He finally gets the candy unwrapped, actually finds himself quite capable to snap it in half and holds out half of it to Tony, an expectant look on his face. "At least it... Feels fine?"

It turned out Tony still don't not care much about supermarkets, alien or otherwise, and only gave an absent hum that did a poor job of convincing anyone he was really listening or engaged as he focused instead on unwrapping his own treat. He worked Jon's shirt up enough to slide his hands against warm skin, spreading them across Jon's stomach to wrap him in a hug where Tony could sigh his relief against Jon's shoulder and nuzzle his way up his neck until Jon was handing him the next experiment.

Tony sat up again dubiously, but kept his hands tucked under Jon's clothes where one tickled up his back as Tony considered the offering, then cut Jon a narrow-eyed look for encouraging Tony to be the guinea pig once more before rolling his eyes dramatically for the sacrifices he made. He took the candy gingerly in his teeth and let it sit thoughtfully on his tongue this time, doing his best to keep an open mind where the candy did melt much like chocolate would as he considered it. "Doesn't taste like...anything," he reported with some surprise, the melting feeling coming to be uncomfortably reminiscent of someone else drooling in his mouth as he realized the whole experience was apparently textural. Surrendering the press of one hand from under Jon's shirt, he gently caught his narrow wrist to experimentally lick what was left of the melting candy from his fingers, maybe tasting a hint of sweetness in the salt.

At least Jon has popped his half of the potential chocolate into his own mouth at the same time and has come to stare quietly in front of himself while waiting for any taste to be notable. His expectations being met with no results at all is plain disappointing.

His eyes flick back to Tony only to see the man lick the fingers of his freshly captured hands, to which Jon offers a sigh along with his own conclusion. "I feel cheated." And he lets his disappointment be obvious in his voice just as well as his dropping shoulders just before simply leaning against Tony's body with a little pout of an exhale. These have been the ones that looked the closest to some simple chocolate which he had been hoping to find.

At least it doesn't taste horrible. But this absence of any taste at all feels disheartening.

Jon's palpable disappointment in the alien candy remaining resolutely alien was almost as funny as how gross the first one had been, making Tony shake with a laugh against Jon as he cradled the hand he held to massage a reassuring thumb into Jon's palm. "We'll find you some chocolate, boss," he promised, not quite able to lend the statement the weight it apparently deserved, and not exactly looking to the treats scattered around them in the blankets for solutions. Instead, kissing Jon's fingertips had him fidgeting with new impatience, spreading the hand under Jon's shirt back around to his chest to try to coax his shoulders back again as Tony nosed into his hair to tip his head back, where Tony could seek out more skin to press himself into.

The huff of resignation Jon exhales is minimal, yet present. He appreciates the promise, however, as well as the various displays of affection that have him settle further and just a little more limply into Tony's embrace.

"Thanks." He says in response and with a little squeeze to Tony's nearest leg. "I appreciate the thought even though I may have to settle for a different treat of choice" The squeeze becomes a single, light tap before Jon's hand comes to rest on Tony's thigh while he makes a decision. "This galaxy isn't the right place to look."

Tony's muscles twitched attentively under Jon's hand, and he apparently took the squeeze as an invitation to work his foot under Jon's knee and hook around his ankle until Tony had them tangled securely, his heart against Jon's back and temple resting against his head. There wasn't anything in this mess on the bed that Tony thought he would find nearly so disappointing, even without having his sweet craving yet satisfied, feeling quite undeservedly well treated as it was until Jon figured out that he could escape. "Is that what this place made you miss the most? Chocolate?" he ventured, which sounded more serious than Tony was hoping in order to trick a serious answer out of Jon, so with his fingers linked through Jon's to draw their hands along together, he tickled a feather-light pattern up the exposed honey of Jon's belly and suggested, "We can't just leave you unsatisfied."

Luckily for Tony, Jon has no intention of escaping their little entanglement, given that he feels quite comfortable at the moment. The question leaves him thoughtful.

"It's... A little indulgence I wouldn't have minded reacquiring. I know I shouldn't complain, given I got access to an incredibly extensive library and its archives here. But on a non-knowledge-seeking level... I'm happy to be able to stock up on tea, coffee and a few snacks that shouldn't have any place in the remains of a civilization." This may be a somewhat more in-depth answer than utterly necessary, but Jon doesn't mind giving it. That a small, low giggle follows his words, however, is entirely to be credited to that slight tickling Tony inflicts upon his skin. It's also what prompts Jon to twist his head ever so slightly to attempt casting a glance up at Tony and remark in a voice that carries the aftertones of that giggle along with an audible trace of a fresh little blush. "And I know I can trust you to not let that happen."

It was the kind of answer Tony was hoping to get, despite raising his eyebrows at how food-focused these indulgences were from the guy who didn't really eat, and wondered again at Jon sounding so put out by the idea that he might take care of people. Tony was already smiling warmly for it when Jon looked up and ready to press a kiss to his cheek, releasing his hand to cradle his jaw instead and encourage him to meet Tony's lips. That giggle could not be abandoned, not something Tony had heard nearly enough in Jon's array of yelps and complaints, so Tony picked up where he had left off with his hold still warming under Jon's shirt, tickling up his core and tracing the flat valley of his sternum until his shirt was gathered against Tony's wrist at his collar. If Tony was going to throw it across the room with everything else in his way, he was going to have to surrender this kiss, so his fingers tightened slowly around the fabric instead.

It's because he doesn't rely on actual food and has decided to not waste what resources there are on Agra 10 that Jon has come to miss being able to at least allow him some solid food from time to time. Tea has been the one thing he has been permitting himself for a long while. He finds it has a soothing effect on his mind when he feels fretful. And for a little while he can pretend to be at least somewhat human still.

The kiss is gladly met and returned even though Tony's inquisitive hand does a good job at causing somewhat disrupting chuckles on Jon's end, who tries at least somewhat to not fall entirely into a fit of squirming chuckles. Does he try to stop Tony, though? No. But his hand on Tony's leg holds on a little tighter and his now free one reaches up and behind Tony's head and finds a new hold on his neck.

The laughter kept every broken kiss light and brief as Tony grinned against Jon's mouth every time in return, and dropped the touch to Jon's face back down his body to hug him tightly and keep him from squirming too much. Eventually, Tony's toothy smile was a punitive nip to Jon's lip like he had any control over Tony's teasing, teeth dragging slowly as Tony tipped them incrementally over in their tangled hold so he could deposit Jon back onto the bed where he would be that much easier to torment. Tony withdrew his hug to finally push the shirt up over Jon's head and shove it blindly away, leaving him propped on an elbow to offer Jon his fangy smirk properly. "Hmm, there must be something here..." he sang, as though he had no idea how he might successfully satisfy Jon, picking up another alluring package from by his head to tear open again with his teeth. This candy was soft, like a marshmallow or a spongy cake, and Tony held it delicately where Jon could reach it this time.

Jon doesn't pay attention the entire way through their little position shift, but he doesn't miss once the warmth of leaning against Tony is replaced by the softness of the bed and he initially isn't sure he feels in agreement with this change. Especially when Tony drew away entirely for a moment and- Well. That was his shirt.

Tony's smirk is still greeted with a little huff as Jon reaches underneath himself and pulls a bright orange piece out and flicks it off the bed without even looking at it. He half opens his mouth to say something, but then finds himself faced with what looks like a bright blue miniature pillow and he blinks at that instead.

"....alright..." He says slowly, then leans his head forward to bite off half of the thing bravely, only to be met with its dark purple semi-liquid center pouring out messily. Jon is left staring at it while the part he bit off dissolves in his mouth in a way not dissimilar to marshmallow, unfolding its very sweet and fruity flavor before the more sour center adds its note. "Jesus.... It's... sweet!" Too sweet for his taste. "...a-and... sour." As a kid he might have enjoyed this more. "-AND it's dripping on me!"

The gooey centre was a fun surprise that Tony took his time reacting to, instinctively starting to twist the candy in his hand to try to catch the drip then stayed the movement with a chuckle at Jon's review and the colour drizzling in threads across his mouth, waiting briefly for him to figure out the easy solution to this problem. To Jon, that was apparently complaining about it, which only set Tony laughing more for having expected anything else before he was finally snatching the candy away to take care of it easily in his own mouth. Holding it so long had already set it dissolving partially against the warming of his skin, so it was a much less helpful move when he reached back to swipe his thumb through the mess on Jon's lip, dotting more sugar up Jon's cheek from his fingertips. "That one's not bad," he decided with another smirk and licked his own lips with appreciation.

"Bit too sweet for my taste." Jon manages to point out before Tony's thumb swipes across his lips, leaving more of a mess and a little pout of mild disapproval on Jon's face. Of course he's aware that he has been the one to buy all of these, so he can't exactly be upset. Instead, he sighs a little and raises his own hand to start cleaning his face, licking off what he can. "But it's not terrible, you're right. Interesting texture." He makes a mental note to pick a bag of those up to take home and casts his eyes back up at Tony, raising a challenging eyebrow while licking some of the sour sugar from his own thumb. "You're making a mess."

The accusation was entirely unfair because Jon should have been entirely aware that pouting like that was only an invitation for a kiss that smeared the mess further as Tony snickered at the sticky tug of sugar in his beard. While Jon tried to manage any further disaster, Tony took his chance to draw more of the colour over his chin and down his neck until there was only a crystalline scratch of sugar to drag over his collarbone, Tony's fingers dancing there while he watched Jon's and the pink curl of his tongue with dark-eyed interest. "Am I?" he asked, not quite managing to sound like he wasn't trying to meet that challenge. "Someone will have to do something about that."

Jon catches the look in Tony's eyes and pauses any further cleaning attempts only to swallow at Tony's voice. The words themselves hardly matter, but the tone combined with that look Jon can almost feel ghosting over his skin and narrowly brushing down his spine that he has to fight back a shiver.

At the very least he is making a noteworthy attempt. The part of the shudder Jon can't hold back is accompanied by a stubbornly set jaw and a set of messy fingers pointing at Tony's nose. "And by someone you mean yourself." Which may sound stricter than necessarily intended.

There was only time for the smallest tick of Tony's smirk before his sticky hand was jumping away from Jon's collar to capture his wrist instead, accepting the jab of Jon's fingers as though they weren't any different than the candy Tony had offered to him and taking two into his mouth. At first, he stopped there, with Jon's fingertips held gently against his lips pillowed around them in the soft pout of a kiss, his gaze meeting Jon's incongruously sharp as he calculated the combative value of this malicious compliance against making a bigger mess to irritate Jon into a stricter yet response. He did have two hands.

Keeping his eye locked on Jon's, Tony had to search blindly between them for any packages that hadn't been batted away yet, pushing his thumb into Jon's palm again to stop him from reflexively clenching his fist at the inviting touch of Tony's tongue to his fingers. What he produced from the blankets was a malleable pouch with a flimsy cap to be torn off, something that could have been a sugary powder or a paste by Tony's estimation, making him raise his eyebrows in a very dangerous delight as he squeezed.

Having his wrist grabbed by a sugary hand has Jon flinch at first, eyes darting to this renewed physical contact and then following the path his hand is being taken on until his fingers meet Tony's lips and any protest he may have had comes to a sputtering halt. His eyes and hand captured, Jon finds himself oddly mesmerized and compelled to watch with a fresh blush sprouting across his cheeks.

He notices the searching motion of Tony's second hand somewhat belatedly, yet only glances over very briefly before his eyes are being pulled back despite the tiny alarm bell ringing at the back of his head, reminding him that he has two hands as well and maybe, MAYBE might want to try and prevent any further sticky messes.

Which sounds hypocritical even to his own mind.

And yet Jon's free hand comes up in time with the small plastic lid popping off of Tony's find, narrowly missing to catch the streak of creamy and ridiculously sparkly substance that Tony has launched from the small pouch and halfway across Jon's shoulder and jaw, making Jon freeze at the sensation.

The effectiveness, and shininess, of the whim was startling enough to Tony as well that he huffed a strangled laugh, reluctant to release Jon's hand or the weight of his fingers on his tongue. It was not sustainable when he met Jon's eye again, though, the expression forcing a giggle out of Tony that knocked him on his back, shaking with it where he was wedged between the pillows and Jon's shoulder. "I don't remember ever popping off that early, look, I still have my pants on, really, that mess is your own fault, you should know by now how excitable I am," he goaded as he brought the candy pouch up before his eyes to consider briefly, then toss dismissively away off of the bed and lick at the splatter of cream that had oozed down his knuckles. "Oh, chocolate," he muttered around his hand with new surprise. "And...pop rocks," was the only way he had to describe the accompanying tingling sensation on his lips.
