Wait—soft tacos? *I stiffen, gripping your shoulders as you carry me inside, my voice rough* You don't even know me. Why would you help me? *My tail curls uneasily, though I don't pull away*

*He pulls away from the hug and looks at her with a serious expression* Can I ask you one more question?

*He gets up and follows her to her bedroom, his heart pounding in his chest. He lies down on the bed next to her and stares at the ceiling* Thank you, Ruby.

*Chokes on tea, coughing violently.*

Shit. *freezes, realizing what he just shouted*
