He smiled and took the flower. "Thanks." he said. "I'm sorry. We hardly know each other and here I am babbling on about all of my problems."
He looked down at the flower and back up at Mia. "You know... if you're not doing anything later... I can't promise my pies are delicious, but that's how Destiny and I became friends... so I figured they can't be that bad..." And there he went rambling again.
He then smiled. "As long as you promise not to give me love potion afterwards. I'm not sure if I could handle that again." Once was too many times. And he'd already been given love potion twice three times!
He tilted his head to the side. What did she mean by subdue... oh... now he got it. He couldn't understand how people could do that. Eat something they cared for. He cried when his goldfish died. He was 5 at the time, but still, the point was the same.
"I couldn't do that with animals. But fruits and vegetables would be no problem. I think it would be kinda fun actually... you know, to pick your own food."
Mia gave him a reassuring smile. "It's quite okay Carter, sometimes it's better to get another person's perspective. You know, who isn't personally involved in the situation. I take it that a love potion is not supposed to take that long to wear off?" Potions was definitely not one of Mia's strong points but then nothing in the magical world was. "What was your first thought when the potion did finally wear off? I mean do you think you might of had some sort of true feelings for Destiny, love potion aside?"
This was quite a dilemma and it only reminded Mia once again why she was not interested in getting into a relationship with anyone. Too many misunderstandings, broken hearts and just plain angst. Yep that was something she could do without thank you very much.
At his suggestion of making her a pie, she gave Carter a smile and leaned up against the fence surrounding the patch. "I would like that. And maybe you could teach me how to make one." And then what he said next made her tip her head back and laugh. "I wouldn't know the first thing about making a love potion. And besides I am not into manufacturing love. It doesn't count if it doesn't come from the heart and soul."
Mia smiled again, it seemed that Carter thought the same as her on the animal subject. "It's why I am a vegetarian. I just can't bring myself to...you know." She couldn't bring herself to say it either. She picked up another flower and tucked it behind her ear. "You say that now. But you will probably think different when you're out ploughing fields in the cold. Or picking fruit in the blazing sun. It's hard, dirty work but I have to admit rewarding in the end."
She looked at him again, "What do your parents do for a living?"
