"The meat is hot!" Calen leaned closer toward her, making Roxanna jump in surprise. "It's hot and… tastes odd, I mean, oddly good!"
"Delicious?" Roxanna asked, suddenly looking just as excited as he was. They even held hands and looked like they were about to jump up and down together. "That's the right word for food that tastes really good."
"Yes, yes! It's delicious!" Calen repeated happily. "The meat tastes better than I expected, and… I've never tasted anything like this before! What kind of magic did you put in here?!"
Roxanna blinked several times, then turned her face away as she said, "L-love? I poured my love magic when I made this food. Maybe… that's why it tastes really good."
Calen's dog tail wagged rapidly from side to side, whacking the ground beneath him as he couldn't contain the burst of joy in his heart.
