Jedao's eyes crinkle in amusement. "There's a joke on Eshpatan that the name of the planet means 'Very Very Big Rock.' Because just 'Big Rock' wasn't good enough." He tries the cake, just a small bite. "Too sweet," he remarks, "but I suppose that's the nature of cake."

[The cake is a perfectly good cake, but Jedao isn't particularly into sweets. Although he might be weak for funnel cake.]
