Mehk and Itna

STRAWBERRIES

        Mehk looked away, “Soo..." He frowned slightly, “I should probably be on my way... I guess."

        She looked over, “Do you have to...?"

        “D-do you want me to stay?" He asked, turning towards her. “Even with..." he gestured to his arm.

        “I don’t care about that. I just don’t want to be alone again..."

        He grinned, “Then I should get to work on a place to stay. I wouldn’t want to be a bother."

        “A bother? You’re far from that. My tent’s plenty big, there’s room for you."

        “No, it’s not room... It’s... Uhh... Class," he said nervously, turning and walking away.

        Tilting her head to the side, she watched him, “curiouser and curiouser." Rising, she went into her tent, checking through her medical supplies in her backpack.

        A few minutes later, Mehk walked in, “Soo, how are you?"

        “Good," she smiled, “Considering I actually have company for once." She closed up her backpack, “Now what’s the actual reason you came in here?"

        He sat next to her, “Do you have food here or should I cook up the rabbit I just got?"

        Grinning, she shrugged, “I don’t normally get much meat to cook, I grow my own plants in my garden though. So answer this, do you want rabbit as part of dinner?"

        “I’ll leave it up to you."

        “Okay,we’re having rabbit. As for sides, do you like strawberries?"

        Mehk looked at her confused, “What?"

        Itna laughed, “Do. You. Like. Strawberries?"

        “What. Are. Strawberries?"

        Her eyes widened, “YOU’VE NEVER HAD STRAWBERRIES?!"

        He looked down nervously, “N-no... all I ever got was meat and cabbage."

        She smirked, lifting his head and looking him in the eyes, “We’re going to have strawberries, along with rabbit. If it’s all the same to you."
