Jelly

Gilan loved jelly. The many different varieties, the taste (on toast, of course; it was far too sweet by itself), but really, the best part was the texture. It never ceased to amaze him how someone could actually make something of that consistency and still have it edible. "It's just so squishy and bouncy, Halt!" was Gilan's enthusiastic response every time Halt exasperatedly told him to stop playing with his food and eat!

It eventually became standard for Halt to bring home two jars of jelly - one to spread on toast, and the other for Gilan to experiment with. "I want to be able to spread jelly on my toast, without looking at it and wondering where your hands have been," was Halt's response whenever his student asked why so much.

While Halt always grumbled Gilan should just not mess with the preserves, he was grateful for the fact that his student at least had the decency to only use the jar very clearly marked, "GILAN'S".


I have no excuses... just, lack of muse, I guess?

I love reviews! Letter K is next.
