Meanwhile Ryn, having already opened one of the bags, finds an old pan. She puts it on the stove and after some fumbling manages to turn on the heat. There's probably more to it, humans love making things ever more complicated, but how difficult can it be? She takes a single kernel, drops it into the pan and watches. After not too long the starch inside explodes and the popped corn flies out of the pan, much to Ryn's surprise. But instead of being startled her hand snaps out to catch the puffed up kernel.
"Huh. That's pretty fun." she decides even before popping the white cloud into her mouth and chews thoughtfully. It's kind of bland, but the texture is a lot different and fluffier. She takes a couple more seeds and chucks them into the open pan, waiting for each one to pop to grab it out of the air. Being hard to predict means it becomes purely a game of reflexes for her to play.
