"I like this!" Taoshan announces unbidden through a mouthful of mint chocolate. "The chocolate, I mean- I already knew I liked mint. It's like if spiciness was cold." He grins and takes another piece, apparently oblivious to the relatively serious conversation the two elves are having.
(Footnote: Taoshan likes to talk through his thought processes because in his experience that's the easiest way for people to tell him if he's thinking something stupid)
