[Finn walks up to the box, squinting down into it thoughtfully. Apparently, gift giving was the custom around here. A human custom, as far as Finn could tell. The thought gives him a weird fluttering in his stomach as he focuses on one of the new people he's met -- human or not -- racking his brain for what they might want...]

Never had a food prank, huh? [Finn's grin takes a turn for the devilish, leaning down into the box.] Hehe, that's about to change.

Later...

[This month's supply drop has arrived and with it, a little something special for Zhao. He'll see a box wrapped in whimsically patterned paper, a black bow, and a small glittery gold tag with 'From Finn' printed on it. The wrapping job is too neat to be from Finn himself, clearly created by the ship's replicator based on his gift request.

Inside the box, he will find bag of jellybeans that hide a dark truth. There's no indication of the flavor until they are eaten... bon apple teeth!]

[The box is almost too perfect to unwrap. It's perfect, done up in his favorite colors and everything. Probably not wrapped by the kid himself but what does Zhao know. Maybe he's real neat once he sits down to do something important!

Anyway, he eventually gets the present back to his dorm and carefully opens it up without making a mess. He peers inside to find the snack treat and huffs out a little laugh. He's not really surprised.

He isn't surprised to discover the special flavors either later when he finally decides to try a few one evening. But he does make a face at the first one that makes it into his mouth. Too bad even his keen sense of smell wouldn't alert him to which ones were which, but they all smelt like jellybeans. Oh well. He popped another one into his mouth in hopes it would over-flavor the other one. Bon appétit indeed.]
