True Friend

Lily frowned. "How could that be" she murmured.

Angus scratched the back of his head and revealed his slim snake tongue.

Lily's mouth made an "o" shape as she nodded in understanding. "So you can't bring out the taste of sweet things now?" she inquired.

"It's not that I can't, it's just that whenever I am in this state, it means my time to change skin is near. Before I change skin, I can't enjoy sweet things."

"I see," Lily nodded. "So when are you changing skin now?" she asked.

"Soon," he replied.

Lily stared a little longer at Angus before nodding. "Then let's eat," she declared, serving everyone food.

"Angel, what's this food? It tastes sweeter than the porridge!" Grant exclaimed.

"This food is called wheat soup," Lily replied proudly.

"What a weird name!" everyone commented.

Lily smiled. "Don't worry, the next food we will eat will be rice," she announced with a sweet smile on her lips.
