The one near Rose rolled the berry up closer, and then jumped away to go fetch another, the little fruits bigger than its own head. For its size, it was comparatively quite strong... but realistically, bugs tended to be, and the fruits were only about the size of a large grape anyhow. The one by Harry managed somehow to wrangle a loose little piece of the cookie off of the rest of it, and looked up at him, pointing at the big crumb, as though checking with him before biting right in. Did he see it? Isn't it big? Hah... But bite in it did, taking a proportionally rather decent chunk out of it, with what passed for cheeks puffing out as it chewed.
And then yet another was apparently getting bored of the plate of fruit, and sniffing around, only to creep up ever so stealthily to the bowl of giant bugs that the owl was making a feast of. It was one of the more brightly-colored fairies, so stealth may not have been its forte -- far from it, actually, with how it raised and lowered its wings in anticipation as it got closer to the bowl, though it tried not to be spotted... and then after it got close enough, reached up and tugged at the leg of one of the bigger green creatures. It didn't simply come right off, so after a few more attempts, the little fairy reached up to bite right through the thin limb so that it could claim its prize and crouch there just under the bowl's rim, munching away on the leg.
The one on Kyoko's hand took what it figured was being hinted, and climbed up onto her finger, only to crouch there and begin preening its tiny head with its front hands, licking its fingers and then dragging them down its little face. It ended up pulling some of its furry hair forward over its big eyes, and then took to smoothing its hair back away from its face again, licking its fingers and repeating the process.
Mallia, for her part, was plenty amused to watch everyone's reactions. "When you're done, I could conjure up the images of other elves I've known...?"
