Red has never peeled a fruit in his life. Slicing? Easy as pie-- actually no scratch that, if this is all the hassle that one has to go through to make a pie. Turning the apples into a loose jam? Were they going to have to mash them up like potatoes next?? Didn't you 'meld' metal???
Most of what Cilan says gets processed as one big 'okay, just do the thing' where Red doesn't question it any further (hey it probably sounds like sense--it sounds all technically correct, or something), withdrawing his wet hands from the sink to watch Cilan, which is the easiest of what he explains to follow. It's like a knife through soft butter, and though he hadn't tasted the fruit himself, he thought it was harder than that, was to cut through just moments ago. But he takes the knife and the fresh fruit, shifting it in his grip with a hum of acknowledgement. He'll be careful. ]
