Dissonant chimes piped up behind him and came closer in a hurry. Roan shook his head as xyr tentacles reached for him again. "I'm fine, I'm fine. It'll go away." Optimism. The true mark of a Protector. Or an idiot. He bit the inside of his cheeks. Pain. That was good. He hadn't eaten any of the seeds, then, the part that seemed immediately problematic.
His reflex to tug away kicked in, but almost immediately subsided. This was above the waist and definitely concern, as xe poked at him, recoiled, and tossed the fruit toward the door. "Not all of it was bad," he protested with a smile as xe made an...angry sound toward the offending food. The only reason he opened his mouth to let xem inspect the damage was the series of concerned sounds piped between them. Not xyr grip nor how fast xe had come to his side. Stars only knew if this had been some kind of experiment to see how he'd react to poisonous food--but it was obviously distressing to xem that he was...mildly concerned.
He shook his head lightly between xyr tentacles. "Guess I'll stick to the red ones," he said with a quiet chuckle. It wasn't getting any worse--unless one counted the continuous burning sensation along his fingertips--wasn't spreading, wasn't affecting his mouth or how he felt physically elsewhere. So it seemed his hope that it was more a reaction one would have from a particularly potent spice than something that might kill him was still valid.
Unless it ate through his skin. That could be a...situation.
"Do you have a towel I can use to wipe it off with? Might make it stop faster." Like cleaning off the oil from a pepper, he theorized.
"Or wash?" he asked again, this time jerking back from xyr tentacles. He stopped with his hands almost touching, pantomiming rubbing them together, stopped again, scrambling inwardly to figure out how to get this concept across. A sort of rain motion came next, his fingers lifting and then waving in a flat, downward motion. "Wash? Soap? Water?"
"Water!" He ducked his head suddenly and then stooped to grab up the packets xe had added next to his food. Once he'd straightened, he gripped two and tore them open with his teeth. More forcefully than he'd intended as he sent one's contents splashing enthusiastically in all directions. The second fared better, most of it making it to his food-endangered hand, and he rubbed his fingers together to start to rinse the fruit away. They grew hotter. He hissed between his teeth. Probably should have tested that and not just rolled with the default 'wash off the alien fruit without checking first how it interacts with good ol H2O' plan. "Oh. No." He blew on his fingers next in a useless attempt to dry them, the look he sent xem regarding the whole foolish situation still one of furrowed brows and intense frustration.

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
