You'll see that him and Robin had a bit of a misunderstanding. She had asked him to go get fruit, and he got tomatoes. She exclaims that tomatoes are not what he should have thought when she said fruit, and that he should have picked up a "real" fruit. He defends by saying tomatoes are indeed a fruit and his mistake is reasonable, and he will ask the player to choose what they consider tomatoes. No matter the player's choice, Demetrius and Robin will thank the player and reconcile. |
