Slate looked over at Lara sadly when she moved him farther away from the food. That was cruel! He let out an offended mew to let her know this and then dove down to the floor to start leaning and rubbing his side along Stone's legs since maybe sucking up would help him drop something for Slate!
Stone snickered and leaned back to look down. "Brown noser..." He muttered before he went back to starting on his soup...but not before he gave Slate one of the tortilla chips to work on for awhile.
