[Mantis waits in the aisle relatively obediently, looking about at the other items in the vicinity of the rings that the new and helpful stranger has pointed out for her. There is a bag of blue gummies that she has taken to prodding at while she waits for him to make his return.
She was keeping count.]
That was not two seconds. [Her pointing this out is somewhat offhand as her gaze is already narrowing in on the offered bag. She selects an orange and yellow ring and sniffs it, nose wrinkling when a couple of errant sugar granules attach to the tip of it. She brushes them off before taking a careful bite that removes half the ring and morphs her face as she adjusts to the mix of sweet and sour the ring provides. It is a rather intense combination of both flavors and something fruity.]
These are very powerful rings. [She cannot resist finishing the other half, taking her time to chew it thoroughly whilst she offers a thumbs up. Universal symbol of acceptance.] They are very good!
