A little weird turned out to be an understatement, as Jacob couldn't seem to stop eating. You know that might not be too abnormal in terms of Jacob, since his power was related to his appetite, since his strength and natural defense were boosted when he was full. The real weird part wasn't really that he couldn't stop eating, but it was his face. He almost looked manic, and his eyes had a feverish, bewitched shine that was focused on the food in front of him. It was almost as if an obsession was building with each bite, and I was kind of glad that the kids had left because he looked a little crazy.
He looked up at me after scraping his plate clean and just held out his plate with an expectant look.
"Jacob, you realize that I have no more left, right?", I said holding my hands up in front of myself.
He didn't say a word and just continued to stare at me as if contemplating something before he came to a decision and got up, walking towards me with a red, determined face.
"Hey Lilith, is there anything I can do to calm him down?", I said to her inside my head.
[Yeah, yeah, but you realize that he is kind of like this because of you right? You used the wine in your food and that stuff is strong… you know… love stuff… ahem. So, you just have do some hanky panky to calm him down!] she said and I could just tell she was smirking.
"Ohh my god! Seriously! I should have known that the gifts you give me aren't really gifts, and it said it was grape juice!", I shouted in my head as Jacob reached me and grabbed onto my shoulders.
"But seriously Lilith! Please tell me how to calm him down or I am literally never going to forgive you!".
[Aww… don't be mad! I just wanted to have some fun! If you really want to stop him, just give him one of my seeds. I mean he is kind of full of sexual energy and it would really help them grow.]
"Hey, Jacob I actually have some more if you really want it", I said pulling my hand out of my pocket with a seed in my hand as if I had pulled them out of my pocket instead of my inventory.
"I want some. Give it to me.", he said.
"Okay, hold out your hand".
He held out his hand and I placed the seed in it and he seemed to calm down.
"Hey Lilith, will everyone else that eats it be okay?", I asked in my head nervously.
[Ohh yeah! The kids are too young, and the adults are married, right?]
"Umm… yeah."
[Then they will be fine.]
I nearly jumped out of my skin as I heard, "Hey Serin, I don't think I need anymore. I'm stuffed enough to sleep a month. Here take your stupid seed back."
"Umm… okay. Well thanks.", I said kind of dumbstruck as the seed kind of looked like it was glowing a weak purple, while Jacob kind of looked like he would fall asleep where he was standing.
"Hey, I feel kind of tired so I'm just gonna go sleep if that's alright."
"Yeah. Yeah. Just use my dad's bed.", I waved him off towards my father's room and looked at the glowing purple seed in my hand.
"Hey Lilith, what is wrong with your seed?", I said as she popped in front of me.
[It's just a seed that grows a kind of special fruit.] She said looking a little suspicious, gazing away from my eyes. Suddenly I got another task notification and realized that I got another reward, which distracted me.
[Congratulations! You have fed 5 people! Your reward is 10 exp + 1 Charisma]
I opened my status again to see:

I had gained some more exp, descriptions and a stat point that I again put int mana boosting it to 17, since I had gotten tired so easily earlier when using my illusion magic.
After doing so I went out to the small, fenced garden by the side of my house to manage the plants and complete my third task, Plant one of Lilith's seeds.
"Lilith, do I need to do anything specific to plant this?"
[You already did everything else, so just kiss the seed and plant it! Its just a seed, so treat it like a seed! Gosh!] she rushed, and I just rolled my eyes and planted the seed in a small area that I cleared for it.
Less than a second later I saw the notification message of a completed task.
[Congratulations! You have planted one of Lilith's seeds! You are rewarded 3 exp]
Well, I guess that's that. Now I'm a little over half-way to reaching level 1, but I still have a bit more to do for that one.
…
Later when Ella got back around noon, she begged me to show her my powers and I relented, showing her Lilith's fire, to which she oohed and ahhed. I didn't really feel like showing her anything else especially when I hadn't yet tested all of my race skills, nor did I really know all of the uses of my affinities yet, so I just went with the simplest one when I showed her a small ball of fire.
Feeling oddly exhausted I went to bed early (like way early), telling Ella to make herself some food later, and kind of forgot about Jacob, but whatever, he can deal with his own problems himself. I mean it isn't that hard to walk home.
I nodded off and closed my eyes thankful for a little rest especially after finishing my tasks and dealing with Jacob, that idiot.
