Emerald helped her to her feet. Without thinking about it, she began helping to brush excess kernels off of Tundra. After a moment of brushing Tundra's cloth, Emerald blushed and pulled her hand back quickly. The sudden embarrassment helped stop her laughter.
Once Emerald got her laughter under control she looked at all the popcorn on the floor and shook her head, "No I haven't. I feel like I should have been able to warn you. I knew the Sontaran's had a strange love for Earth popcorn - it's the only food in the universe you make with explosions. I just had no idea it was this much of an obsession. That's aliens for you."
There were a few stray foods in the cabinet, as well as scattered on the floor with the popcorn, including numerous candy bars. Some with the same brown package that would be instantly recognizable as a snickers.

Tundra was so busy dusting herself off, she probably could only feel Emerald's touch if it was somewhere tender. Once Tundra was dusted off, she reaches inside the cabinet for the Snickers bar at long last
"Yeah...real funny story. Bet that's a big draw for soldier aliens in a corn field. I know one or two girls out there, but they're not into dissection." Tundra mutters to herself before pulling out the candy.
"Also, here..." She comments, handing Emerald the chocolate. "We're not out of this tet, but I figure you deserve something...tge saying goes, you're not you when your hungry" she muses before going back for her soda.

Emma looks the candy bar over. Obviously Tundra didn't look too closely at it, something Emerald could easily forgive her for. Still, Emerald had to tell her, "Um, this is a Milky Way... Which are delicious, but I don't think that's what you meant."
That's when Emerald figured it out. And, from her next words it would seem whatever was bothering her was in the past now as she went back to motor mouth mode, "Oh! Is a Snickers what you call a Milky Way in this time period? Sorry, I don't spend a lot of time in this century, well, not a lot of time eating candy in this century anyway. But yeah, I know what Milky Way is. In the future they're huge all throughout the... well the Milky Way galaxy, and a few neighboring galaxies... And one on the other side of the universe, although that one has a really weird fascination with your galaxy. Sorry, I'm rambling, let's eat."
She opened the candy bar and bit into it, while turning and opening the fridge to browse the foods. Hopefully she'd recognize something.

Tundra gives a light sigh at her defeat. It honestly didn't matter, but she felt getting drowned in popcorn kernels was officially pointless. Tundra is glad to see it at least return Emerald to her state before. though she'd be lying if she didn't appreciate once Emerald had the candy in her mouth and had stopped talking. Turning back to the damned drawer, the wolf girl peeks inside to see if there was anything else worth chewing up inside there. Maybe an actual Snickers. Of course, she did want to clarify.
"Actually..." she comments from halfway inside the cabinet. "...Snickers isn't a Milky Way bar, it's similar but a different brand. They're made differently." she comments, before deciding she wouldn't bother answering what a name brand was if it came up.

Other than the popcorn kernels there was no earth food to be found, outside of the candy bar - which begged the question why a lone candy bar found it's way onto a Sontaran ship. Emerald had a theory, and for now that was enough. As Emerald tried to decide what would be appropriate to eat, she asked, "You are, human, right? Normal, earth human?" Although it seemed obvious, it was an important point to clarify when looking through a galaxy's worth of food options.

"Well, I'm human, as in born on Earth," was Tundra's eventual response. "As for normal, that's a more complicated story. Why do you ask?"

"Trying to determine your dietary restrictions here," Emerald says before pulling out a plate that looked like something in between red jello scrambled eggs, but with suction cups. "This should be digestible," after a short pause, Emerald added, "Technically." It wasn't clear if she was joking about that last part or not.
If Tundra bit into the food, she'd be surprised by it's flavor - which resembled lemon salmon.

"Well, I eat what I eat," Tundra grunted in defense. She took the food and looked down. She put the plate aside for the moment, "I think we should just focus on leaving. This won't help me very much..."

Emerald took the plate and began eating, "I agree, but I still need to recharge my strength... See, the problem is when I super charged you, I had to tap into my own energy reserves to do so. I'm not going to be much help until I get more energy somehow; eating is the most practical way to get that done at the moment."

"Oh....well, can you take it to go? This place doesn't make me feel comfortable, the opposite actually," Tundra sighed before checking the doorways that led outside. "You said practical at the moment. Any faster ways we can eke out?"

Emerald quickly considered the alternatives, "I could take a nap," she said before biting into the food. "We have my... friend... guarding the door. We're safe in here, for now. This gives us a chance to do something we won't have out there; make a real plan." She then sarcastically added, "And maybe we can get to know each other a bit."

"*sigh* you know, I was hoping there'd be a faster way. In the traditional sense," Tundra growled before mumbling something about a mother. "No offense, but uh, outside of where you shop, can't say I'm curious about you all that much."

Emerald ate what was in front of her, listening to Tundra. "You know, I'm actually impressed by your ability to remain so seadfastly cynical. Here you are, stuck on an alien ship; your only hope is a magical woman, who seems to have intimate knowledge of not only these aliens, but time and space as a whole, and you're not even vaguely curious about anything. Not even down to what I can do or what we're dealing with?" Every so often she'd stop to take a bite of food, trying to finish quickly - since she was after all in a hurry as well.
"But, enough about that," Emerald said, "If you must know, I make them myself. I just don't wear a lot because I'm not a very good seamstress."

"Hey, it's a gift. When your superhero career starts out on an operating table against your will, the situation getting better isn't exactly a plus, now is it?" she asked, deflecting."I can tell your clothes are a work in progress, but i makes you go faster- what's a magical woman who knows about aliens doing here, helping a girl who looks suspiciously like a wolf beast? Suppose that's a long story," she grunted sitting down as her stomach began to churn...not that she'd admit it.

Emerald had just stuffed her mouth with a substantial bite when Tundra asked her question. With her cheeks blown out like a chipmunk, Emerald blushed. Getting the bite down as fast as she could, she answered, "Well, my - he's not my dad, more like a friend who raised me. There's a word... Guardian? Yeah, he wanted to go to Space Disney land. And I've been going there since I was 9 and didn't really want to go again - I mean, it's fun but there's a whole universe to explore. Anyway, our other friend, Jack, mocked me for being too much of a goody-goody; never breaking the rules, always doing what I'm told, just you know that whole sort of thing. So I decided that when they left, I'd take the time machine and doss about for a bit. But, the TARDIS she has a sort of mind of her own and..."
Emerald paused, realizing that she was going at a million miles an hour again. She took another, more restrained bite, before more calmly saying, "Basically, I ran away and I came across all of this. Sontarans on Earth are never a good thing, so I appointed myself to the job of clearing them out and saving everybody."
