The fire crackled around them and Gildarts had perched himself on a log, it felt more natural than sitting on one of those plastic chairs. This was how he’d done it on his travels, and the habit remained. The warm glow of fire lit up the cheeks of those who had surrounded it. Takezo and Dust were sitting on Gil’s left, and Molly, Piqui, and Pinkie Pie (the Ambrosian bunch) were on his other side.
“How was it you managed an injury like that?” Takezo worked up the courage to ask Gildarts. “Is it perhaps left over from the event?”
However his tone implied his question was more along the lines of ‘how was it someone like you was able to get stuck with a knife or blade to cause that?’
“Nope, this nick was done to me by a cotton candy vendor, and then,” Gildarts paused and leaned a little closer, “A storm trooper kissed me against a wall and well, it was still in me, one thing lead to another, one of those things.”
Nick. One of those things. Gildarts was so casual about it, the Prime looked over now to Molly, who had been giggling to her friends across the way and was handing out skewers.
“Okay crew! Most everyone can eat marshmallows, so we will start with that. If anyone has never done this before, watch me, I’ll do a tutorial of what not to do. So, you’re roasting food over the fire and you don’t want it to get burned, right? Right. So, your marshmallow is your food, to make things easy for people who may have a tough time gripping the stick and putting the marshmallow on, I did it for all of you.”
Molly had been most considerate of the animals in the group, Piqui and Pinkie, as well as anyone else who had stuck around. Pinkie pie had roasted marshmallows before, but the excitement in her eyes sparked as though every time was her first. Piqui was skeptical, she liked ice cream, but that was because of the cream human pastries and desserts weren’t on the top of her superior cat tastebuds. Sugar wasn’t her cup of cream. But her best friend wanted her to try it, and Godsdangit she was willing to do everything once.
Everyone had already had their marshmallows impaled on the wooden skewer and then handed to them, Gildarts looked down at his hands, holding the polished wood like a fishing rod, he lifted the marshmallow up to his nose to sniff it, wondering if it was some sort of vegetable. Sniff certainly smelled more like fruit.
“Oh, Gil! Thanks for reminding me! If anyone wants to try a marshmallow pre-cooked, I brought jumbo bags so you can compare the difference!” Molly stood up, handed some out, Piqui shook her head, it was roasted with s’mores or nothing.
“Is it safe to eat raw?” the swordsman asked.
“It isn’t meat, it’s a processed… Food thingie,” Molly informed him and waited to see if he would take one before moving on the bag. It dangled in front of the crash mage, “Well?”
Gildarts however, accepted one which made Molly’s face light up. She reciprocated and put the whole thing in her mouth, demonstrating the right way to eat it. Her cheeks bulged cutely and she smiled through it, a faint glimmer of a blush showing for Dust was probably watching.
Gil shoved the white cylinder in his mouth and felt a sticky gush of flavored sponge coat his teeth. Gildarts was shocked by the sweet syrupy taste of the ichor alone and couldn’t wait to get the taste off of his tongue quick enough. But it wouldn’t leave. The prime swallowed the sticky glue several times and still, some was left clumping to his teeth.
“So do you like it?!” Molly asked, her eyes beaming brightly.
“Yweah! Ish really gwood,” Gildarts nodded up and down and Molly bounced happily.
“MOAR SUGAR!” Pinkie Pie demanded an encore and sniped the bag out of Molly’s hand and began to eat the sugary sweets in large gulps. She had chipmunk cheeks sized comically bigger than her nose, and then through a mouthful shouted, “LEZ GE’ ROASHTIN’!”
Molly and Piqui giggled before the young girl continued her demonstration, Primes and… Omniversarians probably hadn’t a clue, what worlds they originally came from that didn’t have s’mores was completely beyond the youthful secondary.
“Okay guys! The moment you’ve been waiting for!” Molly smiled.
“I’m reaffy!” Pinkie Pie nodded, rallied her focus and watched Molly as she lowered the marshmallow adorned skewer closer toward the fire.
“How was it you managed an injury like that?” Takezo worked up the courage to ask Gildarts. “Is it perhaps left over from the event?”
