“Something called ‘pie’,” she said, raising the cake to her lips. “Apparently it was the... artificial sugar.”
“It was so...” Her words seemed a little harder to get out of her mouth. “...good.” She took another bite.
“No,” she protested, shying away from him with the cake in hand. She coughed, shaking her head. “Let me eat it!”
He grabbed her wrist. "No, Eden. You're gonna have a reaction and eating more will only make it worse!"
She flapped her wings, standing up as she tried to pull away. Enryli sparkled through her wings, although it was uncertain if this was a good or bad thing. “If I die, I die happy!”
She shook her head, giving him a grin and moving to take another bite of the cake before gasping for breath, dropping from the air and landing weakly on the ground.
