The Duke:
As the Lady looks at the tree the Duke makes his way over and goes for the fruits taking the first he can reach and smelling it. And if it does not give off a repulsive smell taking a giant bite out of it.
The fruit is delicious, like lemon, pear, durian, starfruit, plum, and with little hints of both kiwi and bacon.
But picking it seems to wake the tree up. "...Eh? ...Hello...?" it says. It stirs a bit, and turns to face The Duke and The Lady.
There are knotholes that might be eyes and a mouth, and leafless branches that might be arms...?
