Kaiden Grey finally put Bastet down when the lunch car arrived at Hozumi's cordon, and the felinid immediately slid a chair against his.
"I can sit on my own, Master."
"Apparently very close to me."
"Yes."
She accepted a meal box from Alexandra and began eating with her shoulder pressed to his arm.
Across the folding table, Luna was making enthusiastic noises over a fried cutlet. Nyx slid the box beneath her chin before the crumbs could reach her lap.
"You're feeding your pants."
"They're hungry too."
Alexandra covered a giggle with her hand, then sat down with her own lunch. Kaiden watched her take the first bite and helped himself to the food at last.
The girl had spent the morning keeping everyone alive, then tried to serve them all before feeding herself. His protector could be exhausting to look after.
