A/N: have one short and sweet.

I only have two weeks of classes left, and I've basically finished my finals, so I'm back to my favorite grindstone.

I am determined to have one hundred of these. I must, I must.


26. Taste

Apples taste infinitely better when she cuts them for me.

I don't know how to deal with that sort of irrationality. Apples are apples whether they are cut into wedges, cubes or little stars. I've been eating them straight off of the tree for as long as I have had teeth, and they've always been the same... But then again - -

I tossed Malon an apple one day in Castle Town and we sat at the fountain to eat it. She used her fingernail to make a shallow cut all the way around it, and then broke it open into two halves. She handed me one with a smile and bit into her own.

For some foolish reason I've never enjoyed an apple more.
