"Order whatever you want. Don’t hold back on my account."
When we
finally
reached the front of the line, Kyrie’s hand gestured toward the
menu board
. I studied the options briefly, then nodded decisively.
"Two of the classic cheeseburgers with everything, one sweet potato fries and one regular potato wedges, and..."
For a moment I trailed off, considering the ’milkshakes’ listed on the board. There was a
bottle of milk
already in that bag in her hand.
But I’m not
very accustomed
to how these things work here. Would it even still be
safe
to consume later, with how long it has been out of a cooler?
Vague memories of how quickly the product can
spoil
tells me that I should look it up later before I try and drink it. With the child to worry about, I
should not take risks
.
The whole idea of drinking
another creature’s
refrigerated milk in the first place is sort of strange. But considering that I’m aware
delicious butter and cheese
are made from it... I was pretty interested in trying.
"One vanilla and one strawberry shake."
The
bearded man
at the counter tapped my order into his device. Computers truly are
inescapable
here!
"Will that be everything for you both?"
I tilted my head, momentarily
confused
by his assumption. Then I realized he
misunderstood
my intentions!
"Oh, no. That’s all just for me. She hasn’t ordered yet."
As I wave toward the woman standing...
really close
beside me
, his mouth opened in an ’o’ for a second before he caught himself. He glanced between us with a quick nod.
"Right. Sorry, what can I get you then?"
Kyrie’s lips curved into a deeper smile as she stared
at me
instead of looking at him. Her eyes seem filled with amusement at the
rather large order
.
> I suppose that’s better than judgment... though I wish she’d stop staring quite so... much. The danger of losing your life with a misstep. The thrill of seeing things from an angle most would never dare. I don’t like this sensation. Vrika, do you know what is going on? Rogues are reported to the council. Description, name, and expected reason they left or what crime they committed. As far as her memories tell me. So she knows this body has been mated to a male before. The more that I think about it, I did sneak a lot of food from the royal kitchens, didn’t I? <
