The spoon pushes past these rows of teeth, letting its delicious contents drop down onto the salivating slide below. A wordless hum of delight fills this huffy chamber and the spoon retreats just in time to avoid the wet snap of two jaws. Stew sloshes along in the pitch blackness, led down the rising lines of tastebuds as Hur tilts his head back and lets it all dribble down into his gullet.
You weren't along for this ride.
Hot drops of stew still drip from your clothes, limbs, hair and everything between, splashing in little puddles on the lack of flooring beneath you. You're no longer on the spoon. You're no longer on anything, really, besides empty air. A laugh like the quiet ting of a bell echoes through the empty space you no longer have the mass to fill. This mischievous snicker comes from something, but not the half-pint hulk of a wizard in front of you.
Well, under you now.
His delighted expression, a small hum of approval and the closed eyes of a cook pleased with the fruits of his labor fade further and further into the mix of blurry colors and indecernable shapes below. You're rising above Hur! This time though, you're not being carried by the wind. You don't roll through the air, it's like you're in a magical cage, an elevator operated by some unknown entity. You wildly jerk your head in random directions, but all you see are the many wooden structures that make up these woods, large enough to hold the sky in place lest it suddenly decide to come crashing down. So here's the all-important question, what's carrying you?
"What's... What's happening?!"
You manage to choke out a few words.
Didn't expect an answer. And yet...
"Oh, nothing much. You and I are just going to have a... private conversation. Snrk!
Heh-he~"
A twinkling voice. Followed by a stiffled snicker. It all comes from the invisible creature that now holds you.
