"Okay." Nico's not opposed to taking advice on this. He mimes the sort of swing needed with the cotton candy and nods to himself before passing the cotton candy to Bart for safekeeping. "You can have some of the empty calories for your help."

He pays the barker and asks for the same mallet that the barker had used earlier when he'd demonstrated ringing the bell. Once he has it, Nico starts testing where to put his hands on the grip. While again he knows it's not a sword, he has to go by something so he's looking for that sort of feel. "Tofu is vegan, if we're thinking about the same food. It's white and looks like halva? And tempura is - paint? Why are they putting paint on vegetables?"

He's confusing it with tempera. Nico doesn't get a lot of "fancy" foods.
