Their empty sack slowly became full as they searched and collected chestnuts. At one point, Adrien strayed from the path a little - underneath another massive tree, he found a place where there were so many burs, he barely could see the leafy floor.
"Valerion!", he called, "Over here there are so many!".
"Good find!", Valerion answered; so he gathered his things and joined Adrien in his search. He sat down next to him and picked up a particularly large bur, which he turned in his hands with interest before tossing it in the bag with the others.
"Do you have any plans about what to do with them?", Adrien asked.
Valerion paused. "To be honest, I'm not sure", he finally said. "What about you? How do you like chestnuts?".
"Roasted, for example", he said, cheerful. "But I like them in pretty much any preparation. Chestnut preserve... chestnuts with meat... chestnut cake...".
"I've never had chestnut cake", Valerion smiled. "It sounds delicious. Do you know how to make it?".
"Oh! Yeah, I do", Adrien said. "It's not that hard, either. Do you want the recipe?".
"Please", Valerion said.
Adrien chuckled. "I will, then", he said. "I'm glad you appreciate it".
