The Gourmet's Lil'snack

A revelation

Alex was exhausted. He is full of groceries. Since he's been living here, it is rare that he doesn't need to get groceries. Well, he guesses when one of the residents has to eat every so often one needs to accept this task but still...

"Well, at last, it is not our money that we spend so much." Kaël exclaims, sitting on his right shoulder.

"But dude, his back is gonna get wrecked...if it isn't already." Zalifer worries from his left shoulder which Alex sighs.

He pushed the handle of the house, hoping that someone would not lock it up and was relieved to see that it was indeed open. "I'm back!" He shouts before quickly making his way to the kitchen. It is still weird for him to call this house his home yet...

Thorne was still mulling over some thoughts when she heard Alex call out. Her pointed ears twitched and she got up, heading to the kitchen tunnel. She waited for a moment to make sure no one else would be coming before coming out onto the counter. "H-hi Alex." She smiled shyly and waved. "How was your day?"

"Ah there she is..." Kaël stares at her, suspicious of this being. After all, she reeks of Humbert's scent...

"She is so cuuuute~" Zalifer squeals at her shy greetings.

"Hello Thorne and kinda tired and annoying." Alex responds as he starts to range.

"Oh, well that's no good." She frowned, looking at all the groceries he brought in. "Is there anything I can do to help?" There wasn't much she could do about the groceries due to her size, but if there was anything she could at least do to help cheer him up she'd like to.

He shakes his head. "No there is nothing that you can do...but thank you for proposing tho." he replies. Although his face doesn't show it he was indeed happy that she had proposed. But he froze. "Aren't you supposed to be with Humbert?" he asks

Thorne stayed off to the side where she could easily duck into a hiding place if anyone else entered the room.
"Hm?" She looked up at him and blinked. "No....? He's out running some errands." She looked at him strangely before remembering that Alex thought of her as a shoulder demon. Whoops. Ah well, he'd figure it out sooner or later. Besides, she wasn't much of a liar. "I can't be with him all the time."

"..." he stayed silent as he kept staring at her but finished to range the groceries. "Are you upset?" Zalifer asks as he starts to get into his «I'm upset» silence.

"And what exactly is he supposed to feel?" Retorted Kaël.

She may not understand Alex's emotions very well, but she got the feeling what she'd said was somehow bad. Did it maybe have to do with his own Angel and demon? She pondered a moment.
"I....I-I haven't been here very long. O-only a couple of months at best." She still wasn't about to say anything, but he could interpret that information however he liked. She wouldn't tell him what she was, but she wasn't about to lie to him either.

He tilts his head at that while starting again. But still, stubbornly stay quiet.

"You are conscious she won't be able to understand if you don't say anything, you know?" Kaël adds as he observes his human behavior.
Alex lets out a defeat sign as he asks: "What's about your day?"

"Hm?" She lifted her head, tilting it. "Oh, it was good. Well...kinda....it started out good, then got kinda bad....then good again....then bad again, and then kinda good?" She rubbed her neck awkwardly. "It's....been a weird day."

"pfffffft!" He giggles. "Guess we had a similar day then." he nodded as he grabbed his bag back. "Are you coming?"

She perked up when he asked if she was coming. She smiled and nodded. "I'll meet you there!" Without waiting, she ducked into the tunnels and headed for his room, waiting until he got there before exiting out onto his desk.

As she disappears, Alex lets out. "She isn't one of your kind, right?"
