i wasn’t.. mm. i’m sorry.
( chewing on her flip, fidgeting in her lap. )
i wasn’t trying to do that. just. i didn’t mean to say that. hh, god. you don’t hate me? you still like me? 💧. i feel sick

and. he’s so nice to me. i couldn’t possibly go change my mind. imagine how upset he’d be..
what?? nno? it’s not like that-
( bright red. what a sudden question. )
it’s just that. you know. the trials are so demanding so. um. so you need to eat more to keep your energy up!
umm.. 💧.
( she hesitates just for a second, but.. of course she’d give in. )
maybe if you let me have a little bit from one of them at least.. just so i’m not starving. maybe a quarter of one. then you can have the rest and the full one! that way it’s fair.
