Re: [Diner: Aleksi, Hannah, Si]
Digging into his own pancakes immediately with the barest attempt at table manners, Aleksi shoved an entirely mouthful of pancake and fruit into his mouth as Alice and Si were still messing around with their syrup. He wasn’t necessarily always hungry, but he would happily eat whenever there was food in front of him. It had always been this way, but perhaps even more so since he’d stumbled out of the darkness into Repose.
Aleksi closed his eyes as Alice’s fingers squeezed his own. He let himself focus on that small comfort and nothing else for a long moment, just basking it in. Gratitude for her understanding and acknowledgment washed over him, and he could tell she’d felt it as they easily rolled back to the topic at hand together.
“I think if you do reach out in such a manner, you should be prepared for the very real possibility that it may not go well,” Aleksi said.
