Romance

*Ellie sniffles and she looks at the first ostrich on his plate, then back at hers, and up at him with her big brown innocent eyes.*

*Romance's expression softens when he sees her looking at him with those big, innocent eyes. He smiles gently and says in a soft voice* "You're not going to take my ostrich, are you? You're such a silly little girl."

*Ellie squeals and she giggles, stating to eat her own sushi with the chopsticks, despite being only 2 years old, she's very good at holding them as Romance taught her earlier.*

*Abby nods his head slowly and he coughs softly* Mh... *Ellie giggles and she grabs Romance's plate of sushi, starting to pull it to her side of the table, even though if she still has a lot of sushi pieces on her plate.*

*Romance notices her trying to take his sushi and he laughs softly. He says in a gentle voice* "No, little one. You can't have mine. You have plenty on your plate. You should eat that first before you take more."

*Ellie sniffles and she looks at the first ostrich on his plate, then back at hers, and up at him with her big brown innocent eyes.*

*Later at the Saja Boys' apartment/place, they were eating sushi, and Ellie was eating faster than them all, because she was very hungry, and she wasn't using the silverware because she didn't know how to use them, so she just kept eating with her hands.*

*Romance watches her eat with her hands and he smiles warmly. He gently reaches out and stops her hand. He says in a soft voice* "Slow down, little one. You're going to make yourself sick if you eat too fast. Here, let me show you how to use the chopsticks."

*Ellie tilts her head confused and she says in a quiet voice* Okie dokie!

*Abby's breath catches in his throat and he leans back against his chair faintly, hot sauce all over his mouth, his arms collapsing to the sides as he manages to only say one word “water” with a faint scream.*

*Romance quickly gets up and rushes to the kitchen to get some water. He comes back and hands it to Abby, who drinks it quickly. Romance says in a worried voice* "Are you okay, Abby? I told you not to eat so much hot sauce. You're going to make yourself sick."

*Abby gasps and he weakly grabs the glass of water, drinking it slowly. He then says in a raspy and quiet voice* T-Thank you, Ro...

*Ellie tilts her head confused and she whispers in a quiet voice* B-but why is he eating that then? *Abby glances over at her, his cheeks turning red slowly and his eyes getting watery as he chews on the piece of sushi where he placed a large amount of hot sauce, but he tries to hide his discomfort.*

*Romance notices Abby's reaction and he laughs softly. He says in a gentle voice* "Abby likes spicy food. He's used to it. But it's not good for little ones like you. You should stick to the sushi."

*Ellie giggles and she nods her head, taking the chopsticks and starting to eat, she first struggles a bit and her sushi falls back on her plate, but she finally manages to do it after a few attempts.*

*Romance smiles warmly and says in a gentle voice* "That's it, little one. You're doing great. Keep going. You'll be a pro in no time."

*Ellie squeals and she giggles, curiously glancing over at the wasabi sauce, that is very spicy and too hot for a 2-year-old little girl like her, but she's curious and she tries reaching out to it because she doesn't knows it's very, very spicy.*

*Ellie tilts her head confused and she looks at him with her big brown eyes, she says in a quiet and confused voice* What's an allergy...?

*Romance smiles gently and says in a soft voice* "An allergy is when your body reacts badly to something. For example, I'm allergic to peanuts. If I eat them, I'll get sick."

*Ellie tilts her head and she says in a quiet voice* Oh... *She pauses* I've never ate anything except for dried bread, so I don't like it, is it an allergy too...?

*Later at the Saja Boys' apartment/place, they were eating sushi, and Ellie was eating faster than them all, because she was very hungry, and she wasn't using the silverware because she didn't know how to use them, so she just kept eating with her hands.*

*Ellie tilts her head confused and she says in a quiet voice* Okie dokie!

*Jinu leans in and he whispers in a gentle and caring voice* And before we order the food, remember me about your peanut allergy. *He pauses* Some things are worth remembering, so it doesn't happens the same thing that happened last time with your pizza that was supposed to be only a four cheese pizza.

*Romance nods and says in a gentle voice* "Of course, Jinu. I remember. I'll be careful. I don't want to have another allergic reaction like last time."

*Ellie tilts her head confused and she looks at him with her big brown eyes, she says in a quiet and confused voice* What's an allergy...?
