"I'm so sorry," Ahava said, miserably.

Duncan pulled the oxygen mask off his face. "It's not your fault," he rasped, and put the mask back on when a passing nurse looked at him reproachfully.

"I gave you the cookie. I really am sorry, Duncan, I didn't mean..."

He rolled his eyes and pulled the mask off again. "Look, I didn't know I was allergic to peanuts. How were you supposed to?"

"I'm your best friend," she insisted. "I'm not supposed to accidentally poison you."

"No," he said, "you're supposed to do it on purpose," and good, that got a smile.

Awww. That's totally adorable and sincere (I swear, I'm much older than they are in this piece and still have that sort of guilt about things. agh.)

Dude, if you accidentally sent your best friend into anaphylactic shock you'd feel horrible too. Anyway, thank you very much!

Ouch. For both of them. Good job capturing a lot in that 100 words.

[bookblather]

Thank you! I like to think I'm good at miniatures? I'm terse, anyway.

You always create such rich scenes and interactions in just 100 words. Aww at Duncan taking the energy and oxygen to joke Ahava out of her misery while recovering from (I'm guessing) anaphylaxis.

[bookblather]

Awww, thank you, I'm so flattered! And yeah, anaphylactic shock, but she is his very best friend in the whole world, and he hates it when she feels miserable. It makes him feel miserable too. So in a way he's just making himself feel better.

Thanks!

THIS LINE.

And these characters! How can they be so cute and still almost kill each other? That's so awesome!

MAGIC. And accidents. And peanut butter cookies.

Thank you!
