" Are you hungry? I can take you to the food! "

He coughed. " You...can't do that. "

Being a softy to her and actually being a little bit hungry, he gave another nod. "Lead the way then."

She tilted her head to him, confused. "Why?"

her smile grew and she jumped up.

(thicken)

She took his hand and began pulling him towards the dining room filled with food.

(What?)

He held her hand gently, staying close.

"But ... I never hide anything from Justy..."

(Chicken thicken)

She led him all the way to the food dining room, opening the doors.

" well...you might have to hide this. "

(You callin' me dat?)

He actually was a bit surprised to see the room.

Shade avoided walking down any hallways where he would run across their path.

Her ears drooped. "But he said never to hide anything from him."

(maybe)

she ran inside. " see? food room! "

" i know. But if Justice finds out, he might....do something bad to me. "

(0~0')

" ..." She looked down, eyes bothered. She was having to choose between Justice and Zex. Tell Justice like a good little fluff but get Zex hurt, or not tell and keep Zex safe but risk her brother getting upset if he found out without her telling him.
