Cora saw everyone as they walked away to go back to what they had been doing before the box came up. She saw as Alby took ahold of him and put him in the slammer. She felt bad for him so she went to go get him some food.
As she did, she passed by gally. he gave her a look before he started to talk, "i don't trust him." the builder informed the girl.
she chuckled, "he's here for less than five minutes and you already don't trust him? come on, gally. he's harmless."
he shook his head, "no, i don't believe that." he looked down at her, "where are you headed off too?" he asked her.
she looked over to the kitchens, "i'm going to get fry to make the greenie a sandwich. he must be hungry. the creators don't feed any of us." she smiled at the boy.
he frowned, "your going to give him a sandwich? well, now he's going to be following you around like a dog if you do that. i saw the way he looked at you back there." he shrugged.
"he just looked at me gally. that's all he did. we just met and we haven't even met properly. now, if you don't excuse me, i'm going to go get this boy—who might i say— must be famished. now, i think your boys are needing some help over there because they look like they need it." she smiled at the boy. she could never be mad at the boy. she wanted to in this moment for being so hostile towards the new boy, but nonetheless she knew he had his reasons for being so stubborn.
he sighed, placing his hands on his hips, "i'll have to get right to that." he shrugged. he looked at the girl as he brung her into his embrace and kissed her on the forehead. he was nothing knew for the two. he always did affectionate things towards her. only this time, it felt different to the both of them. it felt more intimate. "i'm sorry for being such a slinthead, by the way. i don't mean to be." the boy told her.
cora smiled up at him as she let him out of her grasp, "that's okay, gally. i know you mean well for all of us. now, i really think you should go. their acting like fools over there." the girl laughed as one of the builders smacked one of the other builders on the head for hitting his hand with a hammer on accident.
"yeah, i should go. bye, cory."
"bye, gal. best of luck over there."
"oh, you know it."
