Live a little

Lia was spending even more time in the kitchen than usual of late. It meant, between caring for Briar, and tending her garden, her days were busy. She found she liked that. Slothfulness wasn’t natural to her, and as she rushed through preparations, she found herself humming. Enjoying the warmth of the morning, and the pleasant scent of cooking.

The strips of meat were starting to crisp when Artorias made his way into the kitchen area that Lia had partly taken over. She paused her humming, clearing her throat in surprise at having been caught. “Morning Artorias” she said, pulling off a strip of meat and flapping it a couple times to cool it.

Then, because she had become so accustomed to pulling off the first piece of food and tossing it at Zeph, she tossed it lightly in the air towards the Hallows Alpha. She paused in shock, watching the meat fly through the air towards him, and realised her mistake.
