It had been dizzying, that much had been true, and Feronia found himself stumbling slightly as he followed along while they held his hand at first. Truck? Following what he mentioned, he was surprised again as to what it might be, it wasn't something he had ever seen, but to keep out of sight to not cause any trouble, he nodded and sat quietly where directed to.
Focusing mainly on wringing the water from his clothing as best as he could, he felt bad that some of the dirt and mud from his clothing was spreading to the coat they loaned him. But hadn't they left the other pieces of clothing back where they had been? Maybe they were easily replaced? Focusing his eyes down towards his feet, he kept his ears and horns covered as he'd been told and started to wonder more about the way this world was. It seemed much less based in nature than his had been, and from the small glance he'd chanced at the few other people by that truck thing, there was no unified clothing style like back home either, which made him uneasy.
When the man returned, he looked up and then took the offered cup first. Sipping at it slowly at first, he then brightened and continued at it enthusiastically. It was sweet and reminded him of some things from home, but so much sweeter than he had had before. Fruits this sweet were only after the best harvests and were rare to have often.
The rest of the things seemed sort of familiar, though not exactly. Fruits and veggies were normal, but the yellow mixture between what looked like some sort of spongy material had him confused. Opting for the fruit and then picking the veggies from the odd white kernels, he smiled widely as he ate. It really was good, and it helped him feel less worried about this world and whether he might be able to manage here.
Looking up from his meal as they offered an odd little charm, he hesitantly reached out for it and accepted it. For them saying they weren't friends he was very confused why they were presenting him with a gift and being so kind otherwise. Was this how things were on Earth? Were they this kind here?
"Thank you! It's very good, the food and the charm. I am confused as to what some of the items are, though, but fruits and veggies are what we had each meal so I am glad to see they exist here." Shifting slightly, he knew his tail was twitching happily as he ate.
"What should I call you?" Thinking on it since they didn't like friend, he just wasn't sure what else was proper here.
