Prompt: #4, food
Word Count: 100
Summary: Food is one way to a man's heart -- especially when the man is a former street kid.
Food is the way to Briar’s heart. It’s simple, old-fashioned, but true. It’s the reason he’s bedded so many cooks and kitchen maids – well, one reason.
So when he woke in a Namornese hospital, to a girl bearing a steaming tray, he fell instantly in love.
The soup was rich and brown, floating strong white cheese and toasted bread. He tasted beef, thyme, and a sweetness he couldn’t place. “Whaisit?” he mumbled, mouth full.
Jory grinned. “Capchen onion.”
Briar stared. “Onion? You do this with plain old onion? That’s magic!”
Then he found out she really was a mage.

(btw, it's French onion soup, which is a whole other thing and doesn't really taste that much like onions. But there is no France in the Emelanverse.)
Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
