I hummed lightly in reply to BrokenTear's story and smiled. Childhood huh? Wonder what one of those must have been like.
"You wouldn't like it very much, I think. I flew through one once, around this age I think. Anyways, those things are colder than you'd believe. Think ice cotton candy, with no flavor," I replied, tracing the shape of another cloud with my eyes. It would be nice to fly again, hell, it'd be nice just to run for a bit. One cloud that looked like a deer caught my eye, and rushed one of my good memories back.
"Now deer, those are good to eat. A bit leaner than beef, a bit juicier than chicken. Man, that was a good dinner." I hummed, feeling the phantom tastes in my mouth. That seemed like a long time ago. Time felt like a foreign concept here, like days hadn't passed since I first got here. It was a refreshing change of pace.
"And no, not all are shaped like fluffy marshmallows. There's one shaped like an upside down face," I pointed out, just to keep BrokenTear talking. I wanted to know more.

The food Forever had cooked was amazing, then flavors bursting on my tongue. It was amazing, after so long without. Just as amazing was the boy across from me, although he looked like he was caught up in his head. He kept tugging at the collar around his neck. Huh, I'd never payed much attention to his collar. Was there some significance to it, I wondered? He looked uncomfortable with it on.
He also looked so adorable, pouting at his food like he was. Huh, how did Forever sustain himself if he couldn't eat? Now there was a question. I sat back with a satisfied stomach at the mention of Forever needing a shower. "Yes, I suspect we both could use one. I can finish your food if you're not hungry," I offered, conscious not to mention the mask covering his mouth.
I was also conscious of how his hands rubbed at his skin like he wanted to scrub it off. I hoped it wasn't a reaction to me, yet I could relate to the feeling. There were a few times after an episode ere I had wanted to scrub my skin raw. I could only wonder why.
