Liz hadn’t moved from her spot when Matt removed the cornucopia.
Looking at her, he asked, “What’s wrong, Liz?”
She shook her head, opened her mouth then closed it before raising a finger.
“I. Um. I think I know what that is.” Liz licked her lips before swallowing.
Matt looked at the apple he had bitten into and asked, “Is it dangerous?”
Liz slowly shook her head. “No. More stupid. We saw the Fishman bringing out a horn and scaring away the octopodes.”
When she said nothing else, Matt nodded, but Susanne asked, “So?”
Liz pointed at the cornucopia. “That’s a cornucopia.”
Aster finally gave up after the silence stretched as both sides waited for the other. “I don’t get it. Am I supposed to get it?”
She looked from Matt to Susanne, but both of them were in the same boat as her.
Liz
