Gwen ducked her head, smiling when he tried the pumpkin and squash mixture. She knew full well that it didn't taste nearly as good as he made it sound yet it was a valiant effort, nevertheless. And a believable one, whereas Lora instantly took the first bite. She could hear the soft 'ting' of the infant's teeth gripping the spoon to clean it off. There was a look of confusion on Lora's face, almost as though she had been tricked.
Thus, she took the next bite, as though sensing something amiss. It wasn't until the fifth attempt that she finally wised up and had had enough. Turning her head away from the spoon, her lips clamped tightly together. Gwen quickly grabbed a rag to wipe the infant's mouth of orangey drool. "Congratulations! That is more than what I got her to eat. Though she has already had her milk..." Her cheeks blushed bright red, realizing that she probably should not have said such a thing in front of an individual of the masculine persuasion. It was just too easy to talk to him. He wasn't like a lot of the knights she had met.
Sighing, she took a chance to peek over at him, hoping he was not too disgusted and leaving. Of course he might think that the babe hadn't been weaned yet, due to her age, but that wasn't a topic mentioned spoken of publicly. "She is likely full. It is more than she usually eats in the morning." Gwen mumbled out the last of that, fully embarrassed now. "I should...I should get her dressed."
