Title: Good for Your Heart Summary: Neal and Beans Rating: G Author's Notes: So, this is just a little something in order to get my creative juices flowing. “So, my favorite girl page, what’s on the menu for lunch today?” Neal swaggered over to Kel and laid a careless arm over her shoulder.
Kel gestured silently at her plate, her mouth already full.
“Chicken, not bad, hopefully not too dry,” he muttered as his eyes swept over her food. “Corn, ich, nothing yellow can be healthy for you.” He missed Kel’s eye roll as he paused and dramatically pointed a finger at an offending item.
“Beans again,” he said mournfully. “Again?”
Kel swallowed heavily and answered with a dry, “Apparently so.”
Neal gave a heavy sigh and left to gather his own plate.When he returned, Kel swiped his second dessert for her extra helping of fruit.
“Heathen,” he sniped. “Barbarian.”
Kel shrugged. “Are you going to share what’s so bad about beans, or can I start eating them?”
“Those disgusting things, I hesitate to call them actual food,are the Crooked God’s trick on man,” Neal declared, his arms flapping around as he made gestures worthy of a Player. “They are hardly edible – they upset the lining of your stomach, so that your innards are irritated and pained, and whatever nutrients are in them can barely be absorbed. So why do we eat them all the time? Why is it always beans?”
“Probably on the order of Lord Wyldon,” Kel said thoughtfully. “So he can smell you coming even before he hears you.”

Hee! Kel's so deadpan, it's wonderful. The dialogue's really natural and flows nicely.
