A/N: I'm always conflicted when I see this scene. Do I eat? Do I nod? Anyway, enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Crystal Chronicles. Got it memorized?
Amidatty sat alone staring at the model sitting on his lap. He reached a feathery hand forward then yanked it back. He shouldn't have even thought of what he was planning.
The model had cost 5000 gil, all of the caravan's savings. It was a delicate device. Any tampering with it, no matter how slight, would taint the results of the experiment.
But... hadn't it already been tampered with?
The Yukish girl from the Tipa caravan had claimed it wasn't a model at all, that it was actually a loaf of bannock. She had gone so far as to snatch a small piece and eat it. She actually ate it.
She devoured a chunk of the planet.
The girl clearly had no respect for the scientific process. Then again, perhaps his fellow scholar had been onto something...
He couldn't believe what he was doing, even as he reached again for the stale loaf. Breaking off a tiny section of the model with his avian fingers, he closed his eyes and popped it in his mouth. After a few seconds he opened them again, thoroughly surprised. The girl... She, she had been right...
The world was delicious.
