Aku watched as the students all thought about his riddle but only one said the answer out loud.

“What gave it away? Perhaps it was my love for cooking meals?” Aku asked Harkon as he looked at the young looking… creature? He knew what his race was but for some reason his mind was drawing a blank. He looked at him studying his movements and wondered why he was here. 

“Harkon is correct by the way so you all may stop guessing. An onion is the correct answer. For the next riddle…” He paused for dramatic weight. Looking around the small round table. It was strange how the table seemed to shrink bringing them all closer together. Although it was also something to note that each had ample room to eat and have fun. 

“Poor people have it. Rich people need it. If you eat it you die. What is it?” He asked them all as he grinned at his empty cup. It took him a minute to refill it with a pitcher sitting near him. As he didn’t have a plate of food.
