"No bet, I am already sure it tastes good." He smiled to her and he wasn't trying to flatter her, it had a scent that made his mouth water and he wanted to have a taste. Smiling at her as she had plopped down on his lap he kissed on her fingers then pressing his lips against the edge of the bowl, sipping onto that stew, and shivering. "Mmmhh. That does have a very good taste."<br/><br/>Valen was happy to have come to meet her. Smile on his face, he stroked her side with one of his free hands, the other brushing her cheek, as he took a small sip again, chuckling. "Mmh, very appetising. Do, will you have a sip too?" He smiled , his touch gentle as he sought to not distract her in any way there. Smiling to her happily though, remaining close.
