Regina nods, smiling. "Oh, I cook all the time, sir. We're all programmed to feel the full effects of eating, both taste and the satisfaction that follows.  It isn't necessary for us, but it brings us together as a family and provides us with a means to grow personally.  We all enjoy eating."

Aegis: "Well, SOME of us do."

Lucida: "So I don't like asparagus! Sue me!"

Aurum: "Given the fact that you love to study the natural world so much, I'd think you'd be more open to trying new things."

Lucida: "Just because I COLLECT bugs doesn't mean I want to EAT them."

Me: "Girls, hush.  There are a lot of things my daughters don't have to do, Jester, but I ask that they do them so that they may better learn what it means tolive in the wide world.  They have to learn how to identify with people.  Not that they don't do a good job; on the contrary they're wonderful girls.  But they are still young, and there are a lot of things they need to learn in due time."
