Part 5

TW: mentions of alcohol

~Lyra's POV~

"You hungry?" I ask softly, trying to avoid eye contact.

I couldn't imagine what he was going through. I honestly didn't care that much, but it would be fun for him to join the crew so being nice would possibly help.

"A little." he says, also avoiding eye contact but seemingly calm about the situation.

"It rained last night so there's fresh water if you want some" I gesture towards the door and smile lightly.

"That'd be nice" he smiles back and makes eye contact.

"I'll be back with food and water. Do you need anything else?" I ask, grabbing my bag and getting ready to go upstairs.

"Nothing I can think of" he says softly.

"I'll be back" I smile and walk up the stairs.

I close the door behind me and see everyone already waiting for food while Puffy was cooking it.I grabbed two plates and waited in the crowd.

I wasn't going to lie, I was imagining Techno here to. As one of us. It was a nice thought. Joking around like we do there and possibly even becoming friends.

Soon the crowd diminished and only a few people were left, but still plenty of food.

"Hey" I smile and walk up to puffy.

"Hey" she smiles and gives me fish and vegetables on both plates.

"Do we still have water?" I ask, standing next to her and eating my plate while she was serving other crew members.

"Yeah a bunch. It rained a lot last night." she chuckles and grabs a plate of food for herself.

"Great. Thank you!" I walk over to the bin of water and grab two flasks, filling them both.

I walk back to the cell room and put my plate on the barrel next to it so I could open the door before slipping in and walking down the stairs.

"I have water and food" I say in a sing song voice and walking over.

"Great. Thank you." Techno smiles and looks at me.

I push his plate under the gap and hand him a flask.He looks at it confused and smirks.

"Just water. No alcohol" I swallow my food and chuckle.

"Oh darn" he says jokingly and taking a sip.

"So..." I take another bite of my food.

"So..?" he says back.

"Have you given any thought to the... y'know. Joining us?" I ask slowly, not wanting to trigger anything.

"I have" he nods slowly and drinks some water.

"Oh?" I say surprisingly.

"Yeah. I don't have an exact decision yet, but  there's more pros than cons" he smiles at me and makes eye contact.

"That's great. I would love to have you on board" I smile, surprised I felt real happiness over those few sentences.
