Nicky hadn't eaten in a while and was a little on the skinny side. One could almost see little kicks coming from his stomach.  He continued to lick himself and carry on his conversation with Eve.  "Ah, now.  Don't be upset!  You're an adorable little mouse.  It's like a law you wind up down there...  Don't tell me you aren't enjoying it!"  Nicky smiled from the satisfying meal and his own remarks.
