Ellika wasn't the most nimble of girls, and she was surprised that she actually caught the apple that Jayna passed her way.  She had sampled one before, once, and found it's sweet an woody flavor simply amazing.  She eagerly bit into the fruit, letting her teeth sink past the skin and into the meaty flesh.  A bit of the juice dribbled down her chin as she pulled away, savoring the freshly stolen portion.  Alarmed at the thought of losing any part of her treat, she quickly wiped the clear nectar away with her fingers and licked them clean, doing the same to the flesh of the apple and the wound she'd left in it, after.<br/><br/>Ellika watched the exchange silently, a bit more wrapped up in her apple than she should have been.  It was no surprise that she was missed her cue to speak, leaving the room in cricket-chirping silence for several seconds.<br/><br/>"Oh!  Yes, umm, we're headed to the Heta quadrant, in search of Angel Tears."  Ellika spoke quietly, but with a firm resolve.  If this navigator was any good, she hoped the girl would have heard something about the rare item, or the quadrant itself.  Ellika took another slow bite into her apple, her eyes closing as the taste once again filled her mouth and battered her senses.  It was just that good.
