Asher chuckled at her blush, sipping some more lemonade as well. "What do you think Luna would do if you went to the store, bought a fish, cooked it, and told her it was her koi after she took a bite?" His mind really had begun to wander when he pushed some of his thoughts aside, but his eyebrows furrowed not too long after he said that. "She wouldn't try to harm you, right? If so don't try that..." He forced his mouth shut to keep from rambling again, as he knew he was starting to do.

"Oh my goodness.....thats a bit of a macabre thought! Poor Luna would burst into tears and likely throw up! Now if it was Jasper or Illeyana- either of them might come over the table and wrestle me to the ground.....Illeyana might know I was joking!~ abd sit and eat it telling me how delicious it was......Jasper on the other hand might also run up to his room for his wooden sword and challange me to a duel for the grave insult I delt him" Nastara giggled a bit " I love how even though our household has so many seperate personalities we all get along!"

"A duel, eh? Does he wish to be a knight some day?" Asher grinned. "And your family sounds very fun! Mine only rarely gets together... most except Aria and I are always out somewhere or holed up in their room. Well, now there's a new Illumen with us, Tristan, but he won't really talk to any of us much yet. Hmmm... you're good with others, would you have any tips on how to get him to be a bit more open?"

She nodded "Since he was a kit Jasper got the idea in his head to be an adventurer......since I started reading him stories he loves the idea of knights. Another Illumen- Orren, is wanting to show him the Indiana Jones movies...." She paused as the rest of what he'd said sunk in. "A new Illumen huh! I haven't seen him around at all......" She laughed " Well the first thing to getting someone to open up is to be nice to them, and with males I've often found that the way to their heart is through their stomach." She eyed the lemonade in Asher's hand meaningfully. " And I've been baking all day, so before you head home why don't I make a plate full of goodies for you to take him! Don't make a big deal out of it though, you don't want him to feel obligated. Just knock on his door and say that you mentioned there was a new Illumen in the house, and I sent some treats over for him."

Asher nodded as she explained Jasper's desire before frowning . "A way to a male's heart is through their stomach..." he repeated as he followed her eyes to his glass and pondered over the words. Surely she wouldn't think... she couldn't possibly... His thoughts were zooming all over. He didn't want her to think he only liked her for her food!!! He found her nice and attractive before he even knew she could cook! He huffed. "Food isn't the only way to get someone to like you." He was pouting quite a bit as he attempted to nonchalantly place his lemonade down for a while. He hoped she wasn't implying that she might be being used for food! He sat back further than he had been before, shoulders slouching as he pouted worriedly.

Nastara noticed the change in his demeanor immediately and turned to him with concern evident on her face. " Asher-dear, I didn't mean that this new Illumen was more important than you at all....." She hurriedly set her lemonade down and placed a paw over his. " I can tell somethign is bothering you, please tell me what so I can fix it!"

Asher remained frowning. "I never meant that you meant that!" He paused, his own sentence confusing himself for a minute. "You said that the way to get to a guy's heart is through food!!! And you gave me food! So you think that that's the only reason I like you!?!" His voice was rising in volume with his anxiety and terror.

As his voice rose Nastara flinched back a bit, but didn't take her paw away from his. " I didn't mean my words or look that way.....I just mean that it worked. That food helps people loosen up, gives them something to do. And that I'm a good cook. I'm fairly sure you don't care for me just because of my cooking skills.....I mean, I'm sure it doesn't hurt that I have them. And i know you enjoy what I make......" She looked down at the ground " I really hope you like me for more than food"

He sighed with relief. "Oh, yes, I very much do like you for well more than your cooking; that's why I got all upset, I thought you thought that's why I liked you." He kissed her paw. "Yes, I definitely like you for many reasons other than food. Although, as you said, it doesn't hurt anything! Makes up for my many failures at good cooking." He smiled and nuzzled her cheek lightly again.

Nastara smiled like the sun dawning as she nuzzled back against him. " It does my heart good to hear that my dear.....I was afraid I'd done something really wrong and hurt you. I truly dont want to hurt you......

Asher's eyes sparkled gaily at her breathtaking smile. "I believe that. If I ever do anything or say anything that causes you any harm, whether it be visible or not, I ask that you let me know so I can set things to rights. And..." He eyed the cherry pie she had brought out. "...speaking of your cooking, may I try that delectable-looking pie you've made?"

Catching the look in his eyes Nastara felt like she was drowning in them again. It took a nearly superillumen effort to focus on his words. Slowly she nodded though she couldn't look away from his eyes or stop smiling " I will try my dear....and of course you may have some pie.....I made that one for you, I remembered that you liked cherries...."

Asher had no clue why she was spacing out her words, but he found it cute and kissed her nose. "Thank you; I haven't had cherry pie in a long time." He picked up the two slices of pie and held out Nastara's piece towards her. "You will eat with me, yes?" he inquired of her. He hated being the only one eating something, even if she did have lemonade to drink.

Blushing again she accepted the pie. " Of course I'll eat with you!" As she spoke she set the lemonade down. " I was taught that if I put in all the time and love to cook it, I'd better be willing to eat it too!"

Asher smiled. "Well, I'm sure that if you didn't want to eat it everyone else in your house would want to!" He carefully took a bite of the pie; his eyes, like every other time he's tried her food, widened as he chewed. "This... this is unbelievable!" he exclaimed after swallowing. The crust was flaky, yet the inside was still juicy, yet with the perfect amount of cherries. "How do you manage to do this?" He was amazed, once again, by the purple illumen.
