   Tino had been abandoned after breakfast to study alone in the library. Berwald had left for a quick trip to the market and said he would be right back as soon as he got what he needed. So Tino read his books and took in as much knowledge as possible. Hanatamago was fast asleep in his lap, tuckered out from chasing her own stubby tail with no end result. Tino ran his pudgy fingers through the snowy hair keeping double distracted from his impatience to have Berwald back. 

"Ah Hana, it's pretty quiet around here without father and Berwald huh?" 

   The sleepy puppy snoozed on and Tino sighed a bit disappointed. He rested his head in his hand and kept reading the book before him. Then just as he gave up hope of relaxing he heard the library doors opening. He watched to see who it was then smiled widely when Berwald came around the corner with a tray of lunch.

"What's that Berwald?!" He asked excitedly.

"Super food." The swede said setting the tray down. "I sp'ke to a very wise healer. Says it's y'r heart makin' ya sick."

   Before Tino sat 3 different drinks and a salad topped with salmon and almonds.

"What are the drinks?" He asked curiously.

"Water, Pomegranate juice, and red wine."

"Really wine?!" Tino got excited.

"Ya, made a list fer me, I'm gonna prepare your meals with these ingredients, should help ya g't stronger."

"Really?!" Tino's eyes glowed.

"If it doesn't, we'll start again."

"This is really great Berwald! Thank you."

   Berwald blushed. "Ya..... Well..... Now eat.."
