Ohh... [ the skeptical look on his face clears up a little with that bit of clarification. ] Thought it might've been some delicacy on Primavera.
[ fish roe and tea... doesn't sound like a winning combo, but keith's eaten his fair share of weird alien food, so he can't necessarily judge. oh, who's he kidding, he's absolutely judging anyway. turning slightly to face riku, he continues. ]
I don't know. It might exist back home? I used to live out in the desert. Teashops weren't exactly common out there. [ maybe out closer to the city? though keith hadn't really paid much attention to platt city, admittedly. ] Prickly pear juice is good at least. Dunno about it in tea form, but ....
[ aaaand there goes the poor victim boba roulette, coughing up a storm and taking keith's train of thought with him. leith's eyes narrow suspiciously again. ]
Eh? The desert? Well, that would explain it... I've never tried prickly pear juice before, but if it's sweet, it'll probably taste good with tapioca?
[ That's just his best guess, though; he doesn't actually know what he's talking about. Whatever train of thought he had after that though is interrupted by the incessant coughing, and he turns to look at the poor customer with a concerned look on his face.
At Keith's question, though, he quickly turns back to look at Keith. He flails around a little, trying to reassure him that boba really isn't that bad...under normal circumstances. ]
Yeah!! I don't know what's going on with that person over there, it's supposed to be sweet and chewy! ... On earth, anyway!
[ That's where the problem lies. This isn't earth!!! ]
I think they might've gotten that one-percent spicy boba or something... I promise that it doesn't hurt otherwise!
