Fruity
"Jim!"
Kirk looked up, his hand inches away from the strange fruit. He looked confused.
"If you touch it, her nearest male relative will have to try to kill you. They're offering you a chance for combat; they consider it more pleasurable than love." explained McCoy. He was enjoying this.
Spock moved closer to look at the other fruit, he asked McCoy, "Doctor, what is the meaning of this green fruit with spines?"
"Well, that means they don't like you. If you accept it, you agree that there won't be any communication between the two of you."
"Fascinating."
Kirk pointed from his seat to a apple-like, purple fruit. "What does that one mean?"
McCoy grinned outright. "If she were to give this one to you and you were to touch it, it would mean that you've agreed to court her. Looks like she really came prepared."
After McCoy said this, the alien woman turned to him and held up a cob of corn. It cast a yellow glow on the air around it.
Spock looked questioningly at this. "Doctor, what is the significance of that corn?"
McCoy scratched his head. "Ya' know, Spock, I really don't have any idea."
