"I think he wants you to take that and write the labels down that you can remember," Kit said, to the Neko girl when she pointed to the room.<br/><br/>At first, Kitiara didn't know how to respond to the same Neko girl who pointed to the box, until she pulled out some food. The smell alone of the dried, seasoned meat made her mouth water. She grinned at the girl and moved to sit next to her and pulled out some of the dried meat to nibble one.<br/><br/>Makram gave her a somewhat hurt/angry look, when she began eating. He had been hoping that she would bring him some first. With a sigh, his hunger drove him a few small steps closer to the box and the two Neko girls, but the part of him was still afraid of being around so many new people at once. Eventually, his hunger won, and he stood next to Kit.<br/><br/>Kitiara gave him an apologetic smile, the tip of her white tail twitching a little on the floor. She handed him some of the dried beef strips from the box, before continuing to nibble on her own. Then, feeling rather foolish, she looked at the other Neko girl and said, "Thank you! This stuff is good!"<br/><br/>Makram tore through the meet ravenously. The tough meat was hard for him to chew, but he was still eating it much faster than the Neko half breeds. When Kitiara spoke her thanks, Makram's mouth was full. As he chewed, he nodded vigorously to gain the other Neko's attention and then pointed to Kit. Upon swallowing he said, "Yes, thank you." That said, he slowed down a little while continuing to eat.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> "I have good news and bad news. The good news is that, as far as I can tell, the ship is ready to fly. The bad news.."</span><br/><br/>Makram turned to face the other half breed as he spoke, after viciously pulling off another bite from the dried meat. His face was a perfect stone mask, as if entirely uncaring. Kitiara on the other hand had stopped chewing and held her breath as the half breed paused.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Is that this shirt is probably never going to be clean again."</span><br/><br/>Kitiara looked struck dumb for a moment, before swallowing and then bursting out with laughter. "You had me worried there for a second!" she said, grinning.<br/><br/>Makram was not amused. He gave the man a glare and returned to eating.
