A soft chuckle escaped from Larvas’ lips. He leaned over to the excited Neko and gently wiped the ice cream from his face with a napkin. With soft, dark ruby eyes he observed the light within Kero silently. Something in him was always radiating and Larva couldn’t help but want to be near that warmth.

Eli polished off her ice cream and set her spoon down. She looked over to Ha-chan and noticed her writing something down on paper. She watched as the girl passed it down the table and went back to her food with an almost somber look. Eli was curious as to what had been silently transpiring whilst everyone else enjoyed dinner. She watched her for a moment and then decided to get up.

Larva asked Kero in a tone that was meant for only his ears “Was there anything else you wanted?” He looked down at the Neko with the darkest of reds in his irises. Larva only wanted anything that would make Kero smile. He had had this feeling, for awhile now, that Kero needed something deep inside. That something bad had happened to him before and Larva wanted to mend the tattered and torn pieces he saw flicker across the boys face.

Eli started to clean up left over plates and various pieces of silver ware. She looked over at Ha-chan, motioning with her eyes for her to help and to follow her to the kitchen.
