*Malefica quickly mixed up some Sírloine steak, potatoes and bearnaise sauce on a plate for her daughter, then cut it all into small pieces, so it would be easy for Eden to chew the food. Afterwards she made some strawberry mousse out of fresh strawberries, just to see how her daughter would like it. She poured Eden a glass of milk.*
"Here you are, sweetie. Try some of this. It's ok if you don't like it. Then I'll have to think of something else."

*Eden nibbled at the meat, taking it in her small hand and focusing hard on the consumption of the tiny bite. Then she frowned and looked up to her mother.*
"This doesn't fill any holes. Maybe I'm not hungry."

*Malefica smiled and looked at her.*
"Maybe not."
*She thought about Icarus, and his craving for the souls of the innocent. She hoped Eden didn't share her father's diet list. But just in case she sent her thoughts to her husband, hoping he would respond.*
Icarus, we might have a problem. I just tried to give our daughter regular food, and she doesn't eat it. It might be she just isn't hungry. But please, just in case, can you find out if she is sharing your... diet?

*Icarus appeared in the doorway silently.*
"Is everything all right?"

*Malefica looked up at him and smiled, but the worries for her beloved daughter were showing in her eyes.*
"I'm not completely sure, my love. Did you eat when you were a child?"
*She replied gently, while studying their daughter carefully.*
I had to tell her how hunger feels. Normally, they know this by heart. And she didn't eat any of the food I prepared for her. I am so worried about her. What if there is something wrong?

*Icarus sighed and stepped into the room.*
"Of course I did."
*He knelt next to the small girl to examine her with a shrewd eye. She looked normal. Except of course that her gestation had been little more than a month and she was less than an hour old and was already walking and talking. As he studied her, a smile broke over Eden's face and she bounced up and threw her arms around his neck, latching herself tightly to him. His first instinct was to recoil, but little good that did, merely leaving him standing with a girl attached to him. So he cautiously but his hands beneath her to support her. There didn't seem to be anything wrong. Didn't they normally behave like this? He looked to Malefica.*
"Perhaps it is just to early."
*Eden nuzzled her face against his neck contentedly. He tried not to squirm in disgust.*

*Malefica stood there, watching Eden's affection for her father. Knowing how much Icarus hated feelings, she had a hard time trying not to burst into laughter. She looked lovingly at her family, feeling how much she loved them both.*
"Let's hope so, my love." *She looked at her daughter.*
Eden, my dear. I think it is time for us to find you something to play with."

*Eden leaned up, peeking back to her mother.*
"I have already decided."
*Her words were determined and she tightened her grip around Icarus's throat.*
"I want to play with Daddy."
*Icarus cringed.*

*Malefica tried very hard not to burst into laughter, but she couldn't help herself from giggling. She looked at her husband with eyes that glittered with humor and love for him. She thought for a moment. Then she gave him a teasing smile.*
I'll help you out if you kiss me....

*Icarus frowned, apparently oblivious to the offer she made. He pulled Eden back a little.*
"I am very busy."
*But Eden only grasped him tighter, dragging herself back to him. He coughed a little as she started to cut off air. Glancing urgently to Malefica, he whispered.*
"Is there nothing you can do for this?"

*Malefica looked back at him, smiling wryly.*
"It might be.... If you concider my offer...."
*She chuckled with laughter.*

"What...offer?"
*He coughed and pulled against her as she only clung tighter, squirming as she tried to crawl up on him. His eyes widened as she pulled on his tie, the weight of her quite uncomfortable on the back of his neck.*

*Malefica couldn't stop herself anymore. She bursted into laughter, and laughed so she had to sit down.*
"It's ok, Eden, you can play with your father."

Judas...
*Icarus's frown deepened and he knew that he was outnumbered on this one.*
"Fine! Fine!" *He gasped in futility.*

*Eden stilled, triumphant.*
"Thank you, Daddy."
*She hugged him, but much more gently. He sighed in defeat.*
"I want to do something special. Something interesting."
*She glanced to Malefica.*
"Any ideas?"
