River nodded, leaping lightly up onto the top of the bin, clawing through the black film and pulling out a bone. He wrinkled his nose again--there was nothing much left on it other than gristle, but that was the best he could ask for. River dropped down from the trash and padded over, crouching to tear what meat he could off the bone.

Pyrite jumped up onto the rim of the garbage bin, and looked around. There was a soggy bread looking scrap of food sitting on the other side. Wrinkling his nose, he pawed at the bread and pulled it out of the bin. It did not look amazing, but he took a bite all the same.

River worked off all the meat he could, not satisfied, but the painful pangs of hunger had died down to a quiet murmur and he was happy to leave it at that. He glanced over to Pyrite, whiskers twitching at the housecat's expression.
"How do you like it?" he asked, noting that the housecat had chosen to eat soggy bread--the last thing anyone else he knew would have taken.

Pyrite chewed slowly, the bland taste of the wet bread filling his mouth. ”This is disgusting. How can you eat this stuff?!” he said weakly, glaring down at the bread.

"Well.." River said with a shrug, "We don't typically choose to eat wet bread--it's not nutritious and tastes horrible," he glanced down at the bones at his feet then sighed, "Well, when you don't have anything else, even that's a life savior."

Pyrite spat out the bread he’d consumed. ”I prefer my food, thanks.” he grumbled, tail lashing at the lingering taste in his mouth. The bread that he sometimes stole from his humans tasted nothing like this!

River wrinkled his nose, standing and stretching his legs, "Yeah, I guess the bread is pretty bad, but isn't the dry stuff that your humans give you just as bad?" he shook his head, "I've tried some of it that the humans leave out for strays--and let me assure you, I'd never try it again." he chuffed slightly and shook his head.

Pyrite gave a small huff. ”My food tastes fine!” he meowed indignantly. River’s taste buds had obviously been distorted by eating gross things like soggy bread out of a garbage can.

"It's dry and tasteless..." River said, wrinkling his nose, "Kind of like old bones," he shrugged, "Ok fine, I suppose I could see how you could get into that--I do know some strays that eat bones when they're really desperate."
River tilted his head, then sighed, "Well, I suppose I shouldn't judge--I don't suppose you enjoy that," he prodded the bread with a claw, "Either."

Pyrite sighed. ”I don’t only eat that. I also have wet foot, which is delicious.” he purred, thinking about his scrumptious meals. He didn’t want to think about strays like Rivier having to eat bones like a common dog. Who ate bones anyways?!
