Chapter 6: A days off

"Well..."
She hesitated as to what she was going to say. I just paused and gripped the seat of the chair, waiting for her to give me a full response.
"I guess... I don't know."
She knew the reason why. I could see it in the nervousness she portrayed upon her face. But I wasn't going to push it out of her...
...not now at least.

"Well then umm... Luna. Is it ok if I call you that?"
She nodded. "I kinda like that name."
"Heh, good... Well Luna, I guess since that you have no where else to go, or mostly just hide and shelter yourself, you can stay here for awhile." She looked up at me fast with a surprised, yet happy expression on her skully face.
"Thank you Dave!"
I creased a small smile to her. "Don't mention it. Just please, whatever you do... don't make a mess, ok?"
"Of course! Who do I look like to you?"
"Well you do look like a menacing creature from the depths of hell that (quote on quote) "makes people kill themselves". "
"Hey, I make people kill THEMSELVES, I don't do it myself."
She flicked her tail up like a whip and lifted her chin up a bit in a stern way, like she was trying to prove her innocence.
"And what difference does that make?"
"... I guess you have a point"
I chuckled a bit and smiled to myself.
To be honest, maybe things weren't going to turn out for the worst.

"Would you like something to eat now?"
"...yes please"

Breaking off the story for one moment guys! I just wanted to say thank you all again for reading my little novel! I apologize for the wait since I decided to devote my time to getting the rest of my senior year of high school out of the way! Hopefully now since it's summer break for me, I'll get to do a few more chapters for you all to read🙂
Also, thank you guys for the names too! Some of them were actually pretty good and hard to choose from😄
Alright, now back to the story!!!....

"Well Luna, what would you like to eat?"
"Anything's fine for me. I eat whatever really."
"Alright, scrambled eggs and toast it is."
She gave one small sigh as I watched her paw the ground, then immediately began working on her breakfast. Over-easy was my favorite style of eggs with toast, and that's what I planned to make for her. Especially since it's good to dip your toast in the uncooked yolk.

"Allllright Luna, order up."
I set the plate on the table in front of her with a fork and a smile. She complimented it with her one cheeky one, then immediately dived into her breakfast. She looked and ate like a dog, like if one were to sit it up on the chair and eat like a human itself, and not letting one thing off her plate go to waste.
You could see her long, pointy-like tongue, collect the remanence of what was the yolk off her plate. It was a vibrant red, and looked... smooth.
She used her hand-ish paw to wipe the sides of her mouth, then pointing her attention towards me in a way like she was telling me she was done, just like a child would.
"Wow... that was quick!"
"Hm?"
"You ate your food really fast! Like it was gone in under 10 seconds!" I held a surprised look to her as she gave me the same one back.
"Well what did you expect? For me to eat like a human like you?"
"N-no... but at least much slower than that!"
"Hm...you know... I'm part dog, and I eat my prey pretty fast, so maybe that explains it."
"Mm, I guess..." I picked up her plate and dumped it in the sink giving off a low thump sound as it hit the bottom.
"Well Luna, I'm off work today since my boss gave us the day off, and I have no plans whatsoever. So is there anything you wanna do?"
"Hmm... well... I've always wondered what it was like to physically watch TV before!"

"TV?"

She nodded.
"But you're a technological virus though. I thought you could already watch tv!"
"Not exactly. I can infect the tv, but it doesn't mean I'm able to watch the person's show or movie."
"Hm... alright then. TV it is!"
