Anila grins along with him. "You really do have a list of them. I don't think my name ever really needed it. It's short and easy enough as is. But we also didn't have... What did you called it? Danila beans? Back on Belecaat."
"Oh, anyone can get a nickname. Sometimes they're longer than the person's actual name. Raph's only got three syllables but on occasion I will call him Raffaello, as is the technically correct Italian," Donnie explains, before correcting, "-vanilla beans. If I find an equivalent flavor or like plant, I shall have to introduce you."
Anila claps her hands together once. "I would love to try it! Vanilla Beans." She repeats the words to solidify in her mind.
Maybe she should come up with a nickname for Donnie in return? Would that be the nice thing to do? But he already said he had so many so it would probably just get lost in the mess. Not like she had a good one anyway. Certainly nothing to match Anila Bean.
Surely there must be someone who's catalogued or propagated plants from Earth. But in the meantime maybe he can enlist Mikey's assistance since his little brother is the cooking expert. Perhaps they can find some similar flavored things!
Donnie blinks. "Oh. Sure, yeah- uh. Thanks for coming by," he says, having completely lost track of the time. He can't help but tense when she steps forward, unsure of what to expect, but it's more of a kneejerk reaction on his part. Smiling awkwardly, he waves back.

She can't help but laugh a little at that. She wasn't exactly the best cook, but she can't argue the strong appreciation for food.
"I'm sure anything from you or your brothers are bound to be interesting at the very least."

"As you should. It always will be."
There is a beep and she looks down at her comm. "Shata. Sorry, forgot I had an appointment. But I'm glad we hung out. Don't be a stranger."
She pockets her calms and steps forward like she was going to give him a hug but then pauses and tucks here hands into her belt and gives him a wave.
"Have a good night, Donnie."
