She dipped her hand in. "I...I think this is pure sugar!"

"Oh come on, let's just have a little!" She grinned. "Grab some spoons."

“That…” Ky ducked her head a little and glanced around, half expecting someone to materialize and smite her for even considering committing a crime like this. “… sugar is very expensive.”

"Yeah but look how much there is." She showed Ky the massive ceramic jar; it was big enough to hold an entire child inside. "They won't miss a little!"

Ky still hesitated. “I… I mean…” the temptation grew the longer she looked at it. But it still felt so, so wrong. Entitled.

“I don’t know where they are,” Ky whispered. “You were in here for longer than me.”

Ada nodded and went to fetch the spoons. "Have you ever had pure sugar before?" she asked.

“No.” Ky shook her head quickly, glancing around again. “It feels like a crime.”

"Well you live here right now," she pointed out, returning with the spoons and handing Ky one. "Dip in, then swish it around and let it sit on your tongue."

Ky very hesitantly took it and even more hesitantly stuck it in the jar. She pulled it out and stared at it for a long moment.

Ada dipped her spoon in started eating, sighing contentedly as the sugar dissolved on her tongue.

Ky slowly put the spoon in her own mouth. Her eyes lit up with pleasure as her brain processed what was happening. This was exactly what her body wanted.

Ada watched her, grinning. "See? Worth it." She went back for more.

What is a poet? An unhappy person who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music. — Søren Kierkegaard, Philosopher & Theologian
