Chapter 2
They sat in silence, recharging their energy, and Tom kept turning the rabbit so no side would get burnt. At some point he got up to turn the rabbit, and noticed it was nice and crisp on all sides.
“There. All done. And since you were so kind to let me cook, I’ll let you have the first bite.” Tom offered the stick to James who looked puzzled at first, but then accepted it.
“That’s it?” James asked at last, having held the stick for at least five seconds and inspecting the rabbit from all sides.
“What do you mean? What more could it need?”
“Well, I… Make some kind of a syrup with spices and whiskey and glaze it over the meat at the very last minutes of cooking. It’s a little like frosting a cake, only you’re pouring it over meat.”
Tom shuddered with disgust. “That… That is exactly why your cooking sucks.”
“No, really, it tastes good.”
“Maybe it tasted good when you still had Ducköden’s powers, but trust me, you don’t want to try and eat that now. Go on now, take a bite of the rabbit, or I will.”
James took a small bite just to get a taste and almost immediately after took another – much bigger – one and passed the rabbit to Tom. He couldn’t speak with his mouth full, but was nodding with approval.
“It appears I’m the cook from now on.” Tom took a large bite also, and bite by bite they finished the rabbit in full.
"Frosting a cake"

Should you find this post after the 7 day period and wish to throw me an upvote, please consider upvoting a newer post of mine. Thanks!
I liked this, particularly the use of the prompt and the way you tied it to the story - a change of taste after Duckoden took back his power.
It will be interesting to see whether this - the change in what the two men considered normal - is a thread that will continue with the story, especially considering that it is made up of 5 minute free-writes bits.
Hmmm. Sounds interesting.. Now I definitely want to include more stuff that was "normal" to them before, but isn't anymore :P
Thanks! ;:D
Oh god, the poor rabbit :/ That's sad...Good writing, though.
