Sugar
Koschei was worried when he discovered a trail of little bags leading to their room from the center of the academy.
He opened the door slowly, the smell of fruit and sugar greeting him like a toxic gas. The floor now had a new carpet of plastic and paper bags, along with some strange little candies.
"Um… Theta?"
A blur of orange flew across the room, and Theta's bright blue eyes suddenly filled Koschei's vision.
"Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, Kos, guess what guess what guess what guess what guess what guess what! "
Koschei stared at him for a moment. "Um… what?" he finally asked.
"My parents brought the bestest candy ever that I have ever tasted, they're called jelly babies, they're awesome! They're really colorful and…"
As Theta went on sugar fueled rant, he began to jump up and down and circle Koschei, all the while keeping his wide eyes on him.
"Um Theta… don't you think you've had too many…"
"Look!" Theta screamed, causing Koschei to jump.
"What?"
"There's one left!" Theta exclaimed before practically leaping on the piece of candy before shoving it in his mouth.
As he devoured it, Koschei put "jelly babies" under his list of "Keep Away From Theta".
