''Oh, by the goddess...this taste so good!''

Rose could not help but hum out loud with endless praise as she took spoon after spoon of the mysterious soup she had been served for breakfast.

When Alpha and Koldarrd came carrying that steaming pot with them she had not known what to make of it, the smell that escaped from its sealed form was rather enticing to say the least, but when she took a good look at what was inside she had been left rather puzzled.

Even after all the plates and dishes the chefs in the palace had served her she had no idea of what she had been looking at. And she had seem quite a lot!

True, she had recognised a thing here and there...but there were some ingredients that appeared alien to her. Its form and delivery were also different from what she was used to, it was not...elegant perse..., but it wasn't crude either. No, not at all.

Still, there was something to it that drew her attention, and it wasn't just because it was a novelty in her eyes.

And when she saw Alpha take a spoon of the soups contents into her own bowl she took upon herself to try.

She was glad she had.

Oh, the colours! The scents and touches melting in her taste-buds like the softest of ice-creams or the most expensive of delicacies. No, she shook her head internally, such descriptions were too mundane to even get near the point she was trying to make.

As if an angel had descended from above and had blessed this meal with its holy power. She could almost daydream on the spot, the fact she had not been already was a testament of how much she tried to resist into giving into doing so in front of her friends. That would be an embarrassing situation.

Still, the way it filled her and warm her body...there were few words to describe it.

In fact, she was sure that her body felt stronger and more energetic than ever! A funny tingling itching at the edge of her fingertips as if a small puppy were licking them..

''I have to agree, for something with such a simple presentation it does manage to surprise with its peculiar taste and scent. I have the feeling that you could whiff it from the distance and feel full already..''

The voice of Alpha drew her temporally away from her own happy thoughts.

Cocking her head into her direction, she noticed that the young elf was smiling at her, holding with one of her hands her own bowl while the other pushed to the side her golden mane away from her eyes from the time to time brushes of the wind.

Revealing those delicate ears that twitched from time to time in the process...

It reminded her of a cat she had seen back in the royal gardens. If she were to stretch out her hand would she purr like one..?

...

She shook her head internally, hoping that she had not been caught staring, though who could blame her? Alpha was the first elf she had actually see and spoken to in her life.

Still, the blond girl was right, the simplicity of the meal had taken her by surprise.

''It seems that the ladies are enjoying themselves...., that is good to hear. I feared that you may not find it to your taste''

She felt her cheeks heat up a little bit at that, quickly raising her hand over her lips as she tried to fake a cough in some sort of attempt to appear professional if only for a moment as she tried to regain her composure..
