How Green Becomes Wood

Dark cut a tiny piece and handed it to Ivy, whose face scrunched for a moment, looking at the bread. After a moment, she grinned, food still in her mouth, held out the half bit piece to her father, and happily went back to eating it.

"I suppose if she likes it, that is what matters," Dark said, having a bite of his own slice, "It is many flavours at once."
 
"I can't wait for Mama to try this," Alec said, studying the bread with interest. "It's pretty wild."

Xander picked out a cranberry. "I don't love the cranberries. I like the chocolate and walnuts."
 
"I do enjoy the walnuts," Dark said, slowly eating his piece, "I was pleased she chose them. I think any combination of the two would be fine, it is just when it is all three..." He looked down at Ivy's pleased face, "It is very experimental, Tifla, maybe we just haven't acquired the taste yet."
 
Alec managed to finish his piece, though it was difficult for more than one reason. "It is interesting!" he agreed, getting some water. "And she had a lot of fun."

"So did you, I bet," Xander said, picking out more cranberries.
 
"Maybe one or two choices less, yes," Alec said with a smile.

Xander finished his bread and then ate the cranberries separate. "Not a bad choice for messy play."
