Gardening Time

Reinhard smiled broadly as he looked at Wilia who was eating her breakfast with a bit of compulsion-she was also feeling hungry. Reinhard seemed to be enjoying his new toy.

Wilia took a sip of tea after swallowing her food. "You don't have to keep looking at me," she said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it when I saw you being obedient." Reinhard then pushed a plate of several cookies with a red topping on it. "Now, try my cookies."

"Why is it red?" asked Wilia, suspicious of the cookies.

"Just Asberion's signature recipe. Just ignore the color if you don't like it."

Hesitantly, Wilia pushed the cookie into her mouth. Her jaw held the cookie, then bit it. Wilia chewed slowly the red cookie until it went deeper into her stomach.

"How is it?" asked Reinhard, impatiently.
