"Mm perfect." Fluttershy smiled, as she tasted the soup.
"Just hope he likes it too."She mumbled, putting down the spoon and walked over to begin setting the table.

*Slam*

"Eep!"

"I'm back." Silvermane mumbled, as he walked into the kitchen.

"Oh my, y-you scared me there, d-did you find Angel?" She asked, as she sighed in relief.

"Think so all bunnies look alike." He shrugged, turning himself sideways, letting Fluttershy see the bunny sitting on his back, all tangled up in his long messy silvery mane.

"Oh my." Fluttershy said, putting a hoof to her mouth trying to hide her smile at the sight.
"Angel how did you manage to get so tangled up?" She continued, as she begun to untangle him, getting a few grunts from Silvermane every time she accidently yanked his hair a bit to hard.

"There you go." She smiled, as she pulled Angel free and gave him a hug before putting him down on the floor, getting a big frown and a glare as he hopped away towards his food bowl, frowning again as he saw it was empty.

"Oh sorry Angel i will be right on it."

"You spoil that little fuzzball." Silvermane snorted, as he scratched his long mane, ignoring the look he got from Angel.
"Is the food ready atleast?" He asked, as he sat down at the table.

"Oh yes it is, I just have to give Angel his carrots." She rummaged around pantry and pulling out a bowl filled with carrots, walking over and replacing the empty bowl.
"Now don't eat it to fast Angel, you remember what happened last time." She said patting him on the head.

"Are you done yet? can we eat now?"

"Oh r-right sorry, here let me get you your bowl." She answered, walking over to the stove with his bowl, filling it up and putting it down in front of him, biting her lip as she watched him pick up the spoon and take a first taste of her soup.

Please please please like the soup please
She closed her eyes waiting for the sound of him swallowing.

"So this is what tomatoes taste like?"

"Y-yes d-did you like it?"

"Can't say i did." He said, making Fluttershy flatten her ears to her head in disapointment.
"But food is food and i'm not much for wasting anything edible."

"Oh s-so you don't want me to make something else?"

"And throw this away? are you mad? just sit down and eat already" He growled, as he begun eating the soup.

"Oh o-okay." Fluttershy mumbled sitting down at the table oposite of him, deflating a bit from the harsh words, poking at the soup a few times with her spoon, the feelings of joy and pride over doing something good for her houseguest shattered, letting out a small sigh as she ate from her soup.

"What?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Oh u-uhm I uh n-nothing." She mumbled, blushing a bit as she hoped he didn't hear her dissapointment.

"Just spit it out already." He growled, rubbing his left eye wth his hoof and giving her a tired sigh.

"Uhm uhm w-what would make the soup better?"

".....garlic."

"G-garlic?" She blinked, surprised at the answer.

"Yes, garlic would make this edible." He nodded, taking another spoonfull of soup to his mouth.

"Oh ....uhm I-I think I have some garlic, i-if you want that is." She gave him a hopefull smile, which fell as she met his eyes, which just looked bored.
"S-sorry I-I nevermind."

"I would like that."

"Oh I go and uhm see if there is any in the fridge." She jumped down from her chair and walked over to the fridge.

"Well?" He asked, after a moment of silence from Fluttershy.

"Oh uh uhm t-theres no garlic.....sorry." She turned, around swallowing loudly and hiding behind her mane.

"Ah well I'm pretty much finished anyway." Silvermane frowned, as he grabbed the bowl with his hooves, holding it against his mouth and devouring the last of it with a loud *slurp*.
"Bleh, well I take an early night so don't make to much noise."
He continued, wiping his mouth with his right hoof, placing down the bowl on the table,  jumping down from the chair and walking out of the room without another word.
