Getting to the market, Sangre looked at Akira and smiled a little bit as he and Harumi walked to a few of the rows of fruits and vegetables first. As he saw the celery, Sangre looked back at the young man and spoke to him about it. "Celery is a odd veggie. It's almost entirely water, and has no real taste, but it's good for stock and soups, sometimes its good to eat with a ranch dipping sauce too." Sangre said, the people around them speaking rather calmly, in fact Sangre was comforted by the soft hum of voices, and aroma of freshly baked food up front where the bakers were.
