Junia was thinking about snakes and how even though they were tiny, they could still eat animals that were larger than them. Just because an erkling was small didn't mean it could only eat things that were small. She agreed with the answer about magic, though. Small children were less likely to use foreceful spells on the creatures. Or, well, perhaps it was that they wouldn't know as many spells. There were a lot of factors to that particular reason to consider.

Hm.

"Perhaps children just taste better. It could have to do with the diet of children and how it differs from the diet of adults. Like little kids eat more candy and junk food because they're not worried about empty calories." She paused and then added, "Maybe the kids are like sweets to an erkling." Whoa.
