"Mmm~ My father just roasted this for me," Elena said, cheeks puffed as she munched happily. "Elena was feeling hungry, so I figured I'd take a quick break and grab a bite!"
She looked up at Eldritch with bright, glistening eyes and held out the half-eaten roast bird. "Grandpa Eldritch, do you want a bite? It's super yummy, and it won't even get stuck in your teeth!"
Elena wasn't one to keep secrets. She shook her treasured magical pouch, then reached her greasy little hand in, pulled off a chunk of roasted tail meat—which she didn't particularly like—and held it out to Eldritch.
Eldritch stared at the tender, plump piece of bird tail. His throat bobbed instinctively as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Though he was a legendary grand archmage, he was still human, and humans have their quirks.
