Kiri was in deep in concentration, trying to keep the Levitation charm active. The marshmallow had been hovering in the flame for a little while now, so she made it come back and gave it a scrutinising look. Its smell was incredibly seductive, too. She stretched out the hand not holding her wand and touched it.
Ouch. It was very hot, but also sort of crispy to the touch. That qualified for Kiri. She wrapped a piece of her robes around her hand and let the marshmallow drop into it. Carefully, she took a bite... and nearly fainted in delight. It was
so tasty! She shoved the rest of it into her mouth hastily. That was a mistake. The heat made her eyes water. When she swallowed, the marshmallow burned its way down her throat.
She was gasping for air as Emiliano joined her. He was carrying a box of his own with what appeared to be chocolate and a bottle of pumpkin juice. "Hot," Kiri breathed, and took the bottle out of his hand. A few hasty swigs later, and the fire in her stomach had been extinguished. "Erm... sorry about that," she said with a sheepish smile as she handed the pumpkin juice back to Emiliano. "I, er, think I got a little overexcited. I'll never have another marshmallow that's not toasted, I think. What do you have there?"
She inspected the box and watched Emiliano do his own little Levitation trick. She grinned. "Why no, Mr Saenz," Kiri replied, adopting his posh tone of voice, "I don't believe I have." A little while later, the first of the things he'd called...
s'mores zoomed back out of the fire. He presented them proudly. A marshmallow with molten chocolate, sandwiched by crackers? Kiri took one curiously, mindful of the heat this time. It smelled, if that was possible, even better than the marshmallows alone. She nibbled on the one Emiliano had handed her. "They're... amazing," she told him, laughing. "Who invented them? I can see why you're in love with that person!"
She turned. "Hey Vanessa, come and try some!"
