Game Over

*Turns back to the stove, and nods* If you’re certain. I could never tell if he was ill from what he ate. I’ll have the same trouble with you. Tell me if there’s something I can do.

*Grins* You worry too much, daddy. If I was sick, I’d let you know. I promise.

Very well *Turns back and sets the bowl down in front of her* I’ll get you ice cream if you eat a little of that.

*Starts picking specific letters out, and places them on the counter* Ta-da! *Points down to the ‘I love you’ noodles sitting on the counter*

*Glances down at the counter and goes rigged for a moment before shifting his focus back to her, and melting the moment he spots her grin* I love you too. *Pats the top of her head, and smiles softly*

*Holds her hands out* I’ll eat both though. *Grins*

*Grins back at her, and plucks the can from her grip* You’re as bad as Lea.

Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

I’m not certain. So long as neither of you perish from malnutrition it must be good.

*Puffs up* I’m perfectly fine!

Will you eat all of these first?

…Do I have to?

I’d be happier if you would eat.

I’d still be eating either way!

*Shrugs his shoulders* Have it your way.

*Screeches and reaches for the can* I want it then!

*Sets the can down into her hands, and goes to shuffle through drawers, and cabinets for things to cook it with* Would you like anything with it?

*Starts banging the can on the counter* Ice cream!

Ice cream with those? *Stops before the stove, and holds his hand out for the can*

*Nods* Uh huh! Pleeeeeease?

I’m sure I do. *Sets her on the island counter, and turns towards the pantry*

*Bounces in place, giggling and swinging her feet* I hope so! I like letter soup.

*Pushes though the stacks in the cabinets and inspects the labels before holding one up* Is this the right one?

Does it have pictures of letters on it??

All of them do.

I’m sure I do. *Sets her on the island counter, and turns towards the pantry*

*Pushes though the stacks in the cabinets and inspects the labels before holding one up* Is this the right one?

I will. I promise. *Lowers her back down, and huddles her in his wings* Are you still hungry?

Mm.. *Nods as she plays with his feathers* A little.

*Strolls towards the kitchen, keeping her carefully cradled within his feathers* Do you want something other than ice cream?

Um.. what do you have?? I’m fine with just ice cream!

I have cereal. And soup. Everything is canned, or boxed.
