[ That's as fine a plan as any, Ferdinand thinks, so he follows after Kabane's enthusiastic approach, eyeing the cluster he's picked out for any sort of abnormality. Not that he's an expert on picking fruits, having only done it on a random occasion - the times few and far between. ]
Hm... Nothing appears out of the ordinary. [ The soil doesn't look too dry, or have any evidence of tampering. Nope, just some regular old berries, as far as he can tell... they even look good! Ferdinand holds out his hand politely for a berry from the cluster. ] Have you ever had a blackberry before? As you have said, we can try them together.
[Freshly picked but accidentally dropped and left to rot. Kabane had quickly picked it up when all eyes had turned, but his muddy fingers had dulled the taste somewhat.
Now, he drops one of the larger fruits into Ferdinand's palm and plucks another for himself. They look clean and juicy.]

On the count of three?
[Because together means at the same time!]
