*Eden shook her head determinedly.*
"Nuh uh. Nothing means something that is without quantity or magnitude. Literally no thing."
*She looked quite proud of herself.*
"Something would obviously be different."

*Malefica looked at her daughter with surprise written all over her face. Then she bursted out laughing and hugged her.*
"Aren't you quite the little professor already? Did you hear her, Icarus?"
*She turned to him and smiled. She was so proud of them both.*
"Look, if you don't want to tell me about your secrets, I won't force it out of you. Ok?"

You couldn't do that, even if you wanted to.
*There was something behind her sweet eyes, but she nodded and held up a sandwich for inspection. There were globs of peanut butter and honey was dripping from the sides, it's small jar still open on the counter.*
"Ta da!"

*Malefica smiled and inspected the sandwich. Then she caressed Eden's golden hair.*
"Good girl! You've made your first sandwich! I am so proud of you!"

*Her tiny brow crinkled.*
"But did you want any? Daddy and I were going halves on it, but..."
*She set it down and withdrew a large, sharp knife from the knife block, calculating how best to portion the sandwich.*

*Malefica looked a bit worried about the big sharp knife in the hands of her tiny daughter. She quickly approached her daughter and carefully took the dangerous knife out of her hands. Then she kissed Eden lovingly.*
"Let me get that for you, honey. I don't want you to cut yourself. And thanks for your offer, but I'm not hungry at the moment. You and Daddy can take one half each."
*She was a bit surprised that Icarus, who didn't want this child in the start, obviously loved her now. She wondered how that had happened, but didn't want to ruin such a good start. She turned to Icarus and smiled.*
"You surprise me, my love." *She said softly and kissed him.* "I didn't expect this from you. But thanks. I need to lay down for a moment. I feel terribly tired. Do you forgive me if I leave to you to take care of her?"
*She almost stumbled out of the kitchen and made her way to her own bedroom. The pain in her heart was stronger than ever. She fumbled in her skirt pocket to see if the bottle of poison still was there.*

****AFTER EDEN'S RETURN****
*Malefica entered the kitchen with a broad smile, blushing cheeks and glittering eyes. Her life was worth living again. Her beautiful singing voice filled the room as she started cooking a delicious meal for her daughter. She made a huge portion of pork chops, and a lovely peanut butter sandwich. The bread was freshly made, and smelled really good. She placed the meal on a tray, and put a vase with lovely flowers beside it, as decoration.*

*Eden pounced on the tray, huddling over it and covering its contents protectively as she grabbed the food and gnawed on it, consuming it as quickly as possible.*

*Malefica arched her eyebrow, but pretended not to see her daughter's lack of manner's. To heck with it, she was only a couple of days old. She could learn manners later. Malefica smiled.*
"Well, that went fast. Are you still hungry? I can fix you something more to eat."

*Eden looked up sharply, as if spooked, but shook her head quickly.*
"No. I'm fine."
*She hastily pulled the flowers from the vase and shoved the blossoms in her mouth, devouring them, her eyes never leaving Malefica's.*

*Malefica quickly rushed to her side, and removed the flowers from her mouth. Luckily, they were not poisonous. Malefica had developed an aversion agains poisons.*
"Don't eat the flowers, sweetie. They are only meant as decoration! To make the meal look cozier."
*She kissed her daughter on the cheek.*

*Eden frowned, reaching for the flowers in her mother's hand.*
"Nothing is to be wasted."

*Malefica moved her hands quickly away from her daughter, willing the flowers in her hands to disappear.*
"Nothing is to be wasted? Where have you learned an expression like that?"

*Eden's pout grew indignant.*
"I heard it somewhere. When I went out."
*She scrunched her nose.*
"Why are you so wasteful about it? They weren't harmful."

*Malefica caressed her daughter's hair.*
"Oh, I've been meaning to ask you about that."
*She said calmly.*
"Where were you? Your father and I couldn't find you."
