"Neal!"

Kel sighed. "Neal, just eat your vegetables. You're a healer; you should know that you have to keep your strength up, and that you have to eat your vegetables to do it."
"There are other ways to gain strength," he told her loftily. "I happen to prefer those methods to eating vegetables."
"Neal, don't be such a sarden ducknob."
The table went silent as everybody stared at her.
Neal blinked. "Where did you learn words like that? They haven't been used in over a hundred years."
Kel just smiled.
