Lunch

"Mom."

"Yeah, Eli?"

"Did you put the weird spices in it." Eli looked down at the plate in front of im apprehensively.

"No, dear." Kirea replied, automatically pushing the spice dispenser to Acrasia, who loved it. "I made it mild just for you and Nell and Kris and Ravyn. Jes, Acrasia, we seem to be outnumbered."

Jesiren sighed, reaching across the table for the jug of white liquid in the middle. He tossed a few blue crystals into his glass--and Kirea's and Acrasia's, which were promptly handed to him--and poured in generous servings of the thick white liquid. "Caselli, Acrasia?" He held up a small bowl of gold powder.

"No thanks, Jes."

"I'll have some." Kirea said.

"Anyone else want?" Jes asked. "Eli?"

"No! Tyroe is gross."

"It's delicious." Acrasia said coldly, taking a sip.

"It was a fun trip, wasn't it?" Kirea said, reminiscing. "We'll have to go back some time soon, when..." she trailed off.

"When it's not because you're in trouble." Eli whispered, grinning. He high-fived Nell.

"Right." Kirea said, shooting him a glare from narrowed eyes. "Eat your food."

"But..."

"Eat. No desert for you unless you finish it. You were complaining about how hungry you were!"

"That was before I knew what you were making." Eli muttered. "What's for desert?" He raised his voice.

"Telyani sent me a recipe for feean cookies. They're practically full of sugar."

"YAY!"
