1 x 1 with RubyRocket

Alessa woke up some time later and felt much better. She stretched and yawned, then hopped out of bed. She went downstairs, then into the kitchen. She sat down in her chair, looking over at Pound Cake. "Is it almost ready?" she asked, slightly smiling and wagging her tail. Although Alessa didn't trust people at first, it only took a few acts of kindness for her to be open and trusting.
OOC: Gonna go to bed, g'night!

Pound Cake smiled as he saw her up and about, " Yep!" He said cheerfully, " You're just in time too. " The bat pulled a tray of baked macaroni and cheese from the oven. Then, he divided it up into two bowls. One large on for himself and a smaller one for her. " Here ya go, careful it's a little hot" Pound Cake warned as he set her bowl in front of her. He also set two plates of salad and two glasses of milk down on the table as well. " Eat up!" He said cheerfully. Pound Cake sat down at his chair and happily dug into his salad.

Alessa took a sip of milk before she tried the salad. The textures were odd to her, but she liked it. The pup scarfed down the salad and drank some more milk before moving on to the mac 'n cheese. Alessa took a bite after she let it cool off for a moment. "This is good..." she murmured, looking to Pound Cake, "I've never had this before." She then finished the rest of her meal before wiping her muzzle with a napkin.

" Really?" Pound Cake said, pleased, " I'm glad you like it!". The bat ruffled his wings a bit, happily. He was thankful that Alessa seemed to be doing much better and that she had liked dinner. Pound Cake finished off his own dinner, feeling content. " If you're still hungry, would you like some fruit?" He asked as he cleared away the dishes and set them in the sink. Pound Cake loved fruit, so he always kept some for when he wanted a snack. With his high metabolism, the bat was pretty much always hungry and in need of a snack.

"What kind of fruit?" asked Alessa, tilting her head slightly. The pup was still a little hungry; she was so thin, it wouldn't hurt for her to eat a little more. She patiently waited for Pound Cake's answer when she heard a clock chime. "It's the next hour, right?" she asked, "Could you tell me how to tell time?" Alessa had barely graced telling time before her accident. There was a lot of things she didn't know that children her age knew about.

" Let's see" Pound Cake said, looking it the ice box, " I have oranges, strawberries, pineapple, black berries and mango slices" he said, listing off some of the fruit he had. The bat licked his lips hungrily as he spotted the strawberries. Popping one in his mouth before continuing," Hmm?".

" Yep, It's 6 o' clock", He nodded, checking his watch. Pound Cake smiled as she asked him to teach her how to tell time. " Sure! I'd be glad to". He came over to the table, setting the bowl of fruit where she could reach it. Pound Cake slid his wrist watch off and offered it to Alessa. " See these little things that move around? The big one shows you the minutes and the long one points to the hour. " He explained how to read the watch face as simply as he could to her.

[Boomer]

Alessa went to say that she wasn't picky about the fruit, but he had already put all of them into a giant bowl. She took a blackberry after Pound Cake started to eat, then popped it into her mouth. Alessa seemed pleased with the taste of the berry. "Those are good..." she murmured quietly. The girl then turned her attention to the watch; she tried to remember what he had just told her and what little knowledge of time she had. "Oh..." she whispered, "And that one that keeps moving? That's for the seconds, right?"

Pound Cake nodded, pleased that she seemed to be catching on so quickly. Alessa seemed to be a very bright girl, even if she hadn't had much formal schooling." Yep! Spot on" He said cheerfully. He popped another strawberry in his mouth, happily munching on it. Pound Cake pointed to the numbers on the watch, " See how the big hand is pointing up and the little hand is on six? Every time the big hand is on twelve, it's a new hour. So, you say o' clock. Right now it's six o clock" He explained. Though, Pound Cake didn't know how much she knew or didn't know just yet. This made him begin to wonder about what to do for Alessa's education. He could put her in a public school or he could homeschool her. pound Cake had a feeling she wouldn't really enjoy a public school becasue she'd have to be around a lot of kids. Though, as he yawned softly, the bat realized that now probably wasn't the time to wonder about it just yet.

"Six o'clock..." she echoed, giving a slight nod, "Okay. My blood draws are at 8 o'clock in the morning. That I do know." Alessa had a general understanding of time, she just simply couldn't read a clock. But she always woke up at the same time, and would get her blood draw at the same time. Everything was on a tight schedule in the hospital. Alessa ate a few more blackberries before she wiped her muzzle clean. The pup huffed quietly as she moved some of her hair out of her face. She seemed a tad annoyed at her situation. She looked to Scarlett and sighed. "It's been a long day, huh Scarlett?" she mumbled.

[rubyrocketboots13]

" Mmhmn " he said, making sure to remember that Alessa's blood draws were at eight o'clock in the morning. Pound Cake didn't really have a tight schedule. If anything, he was very relaxed and pretty much chill about everything in life. Though, was trying his best to be a good dad; taking care of her health was an important part of that. If she needed her blood draws at eight o'clock, then he would do everything in his power to make it happen. Things were changing a lot for both Pound Cake and Alessa. She had seemed to relax and become more comfortable around him, while Pound Cake was becoming a bit more responsible and a little more cuddly.

Pound Cake yawned again softly, noticing Alessa murmuring to Scarlett. " You know, it's a bit early, but why don't we turn in for the night?" he suggested. " It's been a long day for all of us. though, if you're not tired, we could watch television or something?" He said thoughtfully.
