"Owen..." The boy begins, his voice quiet, "...is it ready yet?" Miles stands on his toes, hovering by Owen's side. Owen glances up from the dish he was preparing and gave a warm smile. "Don't worry, it'll be ready soon. Here, have a seat while I finish it up." Flora nodded and took a seat, while Miles stayed glued to Owen's side.
