He just lifts up his right elbow to signal to his Arms Band - a useful hammerspace from the second world. "I thought I might get hungry on the island. So I packed a snack before leaving the train."

Nevermind that Nita literally dipped the carrot in the syrup...He regrets making that half-joke now, worried that it would taste awful. Roland can't help the face that he makes, uncharacteristically silly despite keeping reserved, and he barely manages to grab three sticks at a time to munch on while he offers two to Bambosh as Nita had asked of the higgledy.

The higgledy opens its mouth, ingests it, but it just glows as it absorbs its nutrients. It does not do its higgledy dance - but sighs instead. "Sorry buddy, no peppers right now. Let's see if I can't save up points to get you some from back home, okay?"

Turning back to the river of syrup on the ground, Roland tries to eat the carrots faster. Don't mind him Nita, this was a mission!
