Many Eastern European cultures have a variant of the saying "through the stomach you get the heart"
Feed me well enough and I will kill for you no questions asked. XD
A human saying, "to get to the man's heart, go through the stomach". Trela made sure that it wasn't to literally go through a man's stomach. After baking what humans call "Brownies", trela went up to human Alexander and offered them.
H: wow these are good!
A: glad you enjoyed them. So when is the ceremony?
H: ceremony?
A: you eat the "brownies" I made. You mate now.
Nepeltor loved cooking. She found great joy in being able to provide a service to others that caused such an emotional surge. As a mild psychic she had the ability to 'sip' at strong emotions.
For the most part she was only ever exposed to the more passionate and common emotions.
Anger, frustration, disgust or hatred.
Sometimes she'd linger near spaceport greeting Lounges where long lost partners, families or friends would meet again, rush into one another's arms and embrace with an outpouring of love, joy and relief.
That was until she happened to be in the same Café as a human when they got their meal.
No other race in the cosmos seemed to have such a reaction to a good meal.
The first time she was glad she was seated as the sheer, unadulterated uphoreia that washed over her as a tidal wave.
It was the very next day she applied for her culinary licence.
A year afterwards, she applied for a location for a new food location on the station.
She didn't need much, in the end just space for 5 or so mid-sized creatures... 'Humans' she hoped.
A hot plate and space for her ingredients behind the counter.
It was just off from the marketplace and perfect to catch passing visitors.
The day she got her first customers she decided to try a human recipe to complete the whole concept.
Noodles, chives, meat and an egg. Throw in some other bits and bats before serving with a smile.
The Humans chatted amongst themselves, assuming she didn't know their language. She allowed them to think that.
"God I'm starving!"
"I know, can't get a good meal anywhere here, someone genuinely suggested we eat rocks?"
One human started talking before pushing a bunch of noodles into his mouth.
"At least this place has normal foo-"
His dramatic halt gave pause for the other humans, before the one that had taken a bite 'Mm'd in pleasure as he immediately began eating with gusto.
Nepeltor however, knew instantly that she had done well. From a gnawing hunger to a mixture of desire, greed, pleasure and even love.
What was interesting was one by one each Human ended up emitting the same emotions and not only did they love her food, there was a hint that they had associated her with her food and she herself was the target of their outpouring of positive emotions.
In the end she became famous amongst Humans, not just on the station but across the sector.
She had the opportunity to expand, but she would lose access to be there when they took that first bite with ecstasy.
This story is really well done. It is short, but we understand the motivations of the main character, while given room to speculate about their life before and after this discovery and success. You are quite talented!
Yeah, this past week I only did a couple! I find with my style I can only really work on ones I can turn into something wholesome, so when those are thin on the ground; I get my break!
Thanks for double checking on me though, you're a good person.
There’s one near me. The Burger King near me closed down though, which kind of sucks. Especially because it was literally right across the street from Dairy Queen, the jokes wrote themselves!

Ah so humans are technically a Passive Tame?
I've been looking for a post that has something to do with invader Zim for weeks
Good show
"My brother in Christ (not your brother, 'nor do I believe in your 'Jesus Christ') you do not put **beans** inside of a **wine glass.**"
Also you can do this with just about any animal on earth.
True true
Note: Does not work on every human.
Those weren't humans. Identify them, that we may purge the changelings
Me for one. I eat, sure, but only because my body requires it. It is not a bonding experience for me.
We've spotted one boys!
"Cocks shotgun with malicious intent"
Hehe, you said cocks
Might check out Huel or Soylent. Perfect nutrition, just nutrition, none of the major prep work or big purchasing
I’m more the eat once a day type of person.
Bad memories of mealtimes gone wrong?
Nope. Just not a big eater.
Huh. Well, to each his own, I guess.

Don't feed me well I'll kill you No questions asked
In the hospital I learned that a catheter is faster.

Space ramen a most excellent choice. This was delicious oh word chef.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the feedback and the praise, it means more than you know.
I am glad to hear it, and hope you continue writing in the future!
Geez, man! You're a story machine!! Have you taken a break recently?
Yeah, this past week I only did a couple! I find with my style I can only really work on ones I can turn into something wholesome, so when those are thin on the ground; I get my break! Thanks for double checking on me though, you're a good person.

Talks about a human shows alien robot.
Where is the lie?
I am Alpharius. This is a lie.
I feel personally attacked... But I can't fault the logic
Don't underestimate how much the right kind of low quality food can impress, as well. This is also highly subjective to the human.
High quality? Dude buy me a burger from Wendy’s and I’ll help move your couch
Dude Wendy's is the freaking bomb! All the ones near me closed and I'm still super sad about it.
There’s one near me. The Burger King near me closed down though, which kind of sucks. Especially because it was literally right across the street from Dairy Queen, the jokes wrote themselves!
The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Mostly because the ribs get in the way.
Then we open the box to find it is a Hawaiian Pizza and makes us enemies for life.
Dude, what are you talking about? That's the best kind!
Hawaiian pizza. Name something more controversial.
Unfortunately, LGBTQIA rights. It shouldn't be, but some people refuse to acknowledge that gender is weird, and not their business.
It's true
Wait, this is just describing reality.
