Cedric yawned. Slowly rubbing his eyes, the Sorcerer was now getting drowsy with the entire evening of nothing but pure work and some potion shenanigans. He oughta hit the hays now, if not only for his sudden hunger finally catching up to him
He needed something to eat.
It was already midnight, and surely, there would be no available food left in the dining room. And so, Cedric thought up of the only thing he knew of that he can get some food
He shook Wormwood, which woke the raven up from his sleep. "Be a dear and head to Miss Abadeer's will you? And get me some French fries" sliding in the bag of coins on his claws in the process
As he did, he notices the princess laying on his sofa nearby. Cedric sighed, as he whispered some stuff to the raven and added more coins to the bag
The raven rolled his eyes before finally flying out the window. Cedric, however, did a whole stretch before falling onto the sofa
"Hi Mr. Ceedric!" Sofia was reading a book when he notices her
"Don't Mr. Ceedric me... aren't you supposed to leave to your room and sleep an hour earlier?" He nagged. The girl specifically told him that she would leave the workshop before midnight... but she's still here for some reason
"I'm not really sleepy yet.." the princess put down the book to look at him "So I decided to stay longer.."
"If they would find out that the princess herself has been staying awake and hanging out at my workshop, what do you think will happen to me?" Cedric scoffed crudely
Sofia just shrugged. She then pointed at the window where a certain raven has brought paper bags of food. Cedric smiled, finally he can have something to eat. As he gathers them to the table, Cedric sat on the chair just with it. Upon doing so, Sofia decided to sit just across to watch him
Cedric took out the pack and took a bite of a fry. It didn't take long before he noticed Sofia staring at him "What?"
Sofia closed her eyes and smiled. No words spoken
"Ohhkayy then..." Cedric took another fry, as he tried to avert his gaze somewhere else
It didn't take long before Cedric grew uneasy with the girl staring blanks at him across "Hey Sofia... you want some?"
"Oh he-he.." Sofia giggled casually before turning away "Thank you but I'm not hungry"
"Well.. more for me then" Cedric uttered before filling five fries unto his mouth

A few moments later, Sofia was still staring at him. She couldn't help but catch glimpses of the wonderful food that Cedric was eating in front of her
Those juicy, tender and warm fries alongside with the mint cream and ketchup. Eventually, she didn't notice that she was biting her lip while looking at Cedric's food
"You really don't want some?" he spoke as he noticed her interest on whatever he was eating
"I'm good, thank you" She beamed another smile at him
"Okay.. whatever.." He stuffed another round of fries unto his mouth which Sofia found captivating yet again
Perhaps it was the delicious fry he's eating... or those luscious lips of Cedri–
"You know there's plenty of these for us.." her train of thoughts were interrupted as he spoke in a muffled way. His mouth was full and he was barely audible
