I huffed, just barely keeping the berry in my beak as the catch had left me winded after doing this routine dozens of times by now. I had entirely exhausted not only myself but the pack of berries that I was supposed to sell today as my belly, and the rest of me as well, hung heavy with it instead. I hold my pose and looked back towards the Finizen, hopeful that now that the berries had all been used in the name of showmanship, that maybe he'll see that now would be a good time to call it, right? I didn't want to be rude, to just walk away but-

"You've gotten amazing at it there! Encore, encore!" He trilled happily, I certainly didn't share in his enthusiasm as once more the urge to perform struck me. But, I was out of usable berries, what now? My gaze slowly drifted over to the one berry left, the giant one that I've been rolling all morning. I, no, can I? That's absurd, and yet.
