Drawn Away

"Mm! Thank you for the meal!"

Eria stood up from her chair, walked into the kitchen, then returned a few moments later with a tin case.

"Here, have some cookies!"

She cracked open the lid of the tin, then held it out in front of West and the rest of his group. Ember's brow furrowed as he watched the number of delicious treats quickly drop. It didn't even stop at just a couple of cookies gone, as Eria urged them to take multiple.

"Oi, I was going to make something else for dessert!"

Eria just shrugged off Elric's words, taking one of the cookies for herself.

"Mm, sorry. I guess you'll have to save it for next time."

She grinned as she bit off a chunk with extra chocolate chips.

"Besides, I really wanted one of these right now."

The frown remained on Ember's face, but she didn't have a chance to push the matter before Eria switched the subject again.
