Oh! We just had it! Making a living creature takes a good deal of energy, especially one like Marigold. So after I made him, we went down to the kitchen and I placed several bowls in front of him. After all, I had just created him, he was sure to have a very empty stomach and be hungry himself. He doesn't mind cream, and water is fine for him as well, but as soon as I had my own cup of tea he was much more interested in that than anything else!

So now I have a permanent attendant for all my tea parties!
