Chapter 45 - Soup

Ven wrinkled his nose as he watched Aqua preparing dinner, "I hate potatoes."

"I know, Ven," he frowned at her placid tone.

"I hate fish," he declared when she added the next ingredient.

"Of course," she said serenely, turning his frown into a scowl.

"I hate... those... things," he tried again with the next ingredient.

"They're leeks."

"I hate them!"

"I'm sure," her soft little smile was making him crankier.

"I hate..."

"You've never had wine before," she cut him off, adding it to the pot, "So how do you know you hate it?"

Ven's eyes widened, "You're putting booze in it?" he asked incredulously.

"Mmhm."

"This is the best soup ever!"


A/N: I don't know why Ven's cranky... maybe it's raining outside, or Terra wouldn't play with him. Either way, little boys can be suddenly picky about what they eat for the weirdest reasons.
