1 x 1 with Angel

[Boomer]

Alessa put her paw down as Alex got up. "I'll be there in a few minutes." she said quietly, "I'm not feeling good enough to walk. Go eat, Mrs. Potter will keep my breakfast warm." She didn't want him to wait and be hungry; she knew what it was like to be starving.

[humanitieslasthope.]

"Okay, ill make sure the kids save you some!" Alex laughed, and went into the kitchen. He grabbed 2 waffles from the plate, covered them in syrup, whipped cream, blueberries, and strawberries.
"Are you sure thats a very healthy breakfast with all that whipped cream?" Mrs. Potter smiled at Alex,and he giggled to himself.
"ill run it off!"
Alex always enjoyed the food during the day, and he especially liked when they cooked something a little more... sweet, for a meak.

Alessa's stomach growled as she could smell the waffles and bacon from her seat. She stood up and started seeing stars; this made her sit back down. "Ugh..." she muttered, feeling sick to her stomach. Mrs. Potter came into the living room with two plain waffles and various toppings on a tray. She didn't think it was fair to let Alessa sit there and smell the food. "I wasn't sure what you liked, so I wanted to give you options." she said, putting the tray on the girl's lap. "T-thank you..." said Alessa softly, a bit surprised at her kindness.

Alex had practically inhaled his food, and when he was done, he somewhat regretted all of that whipped cream. so worth it. He stood up, and went to put away his dish.
"I have cleanup duty for breakfast today, right?" Alex asked Mrs. Potter, who was just sitting down to eat.
"Yes, you do! wait until everyones finished to start." She instructed.
Alex went to go check on Alessa while he waited.

Alessa put whipped cream on one waffle, then syrup on the other. It didn't take long for her to finish eating both waffles. The girl looked to the bowls of fruit, then ate those as well. As Alex came into the living room, Alessa looked up to him with a wide grin. "You're right, those waffles were great." she smiled. She stood up as she felt normal now. The dishes were in her paws as Scarlett was draped across the back of her neck. "I can help with the dishes." she offered.

[humanitieslasthope.]

"Arent they!?" Alex laughed. "Im glad you enjoyed them!"
"Oh, you dont have to,you should probably stay seated for a bit longer. the dishes arent that hard to do, i just have to put them in the machine. and cleaning off the table isnt hard either. I can do it by myself." Alex insisted that Alessa stayed sitting, and getting her rest.

[Boomer]

"I'm feeling better." she said, lightly shaking her head, "I don't mind helping you out." Alessa walked past him as she went into the kitchen. She cleaned off the dishes before setting them in the dishwasher. As the other kids were finishing up and putting the dishes in the sink, Alessa didn't hesitate to clean up.

[humanitieslasthope.]

"well...i guess thats okay." Alex went into the kitchen with her, and cleaned off the table. He picked up all the condiments and extra dishes that got left behind, and brought them all where they needed to be.
"Wow, that job was done alot faster. thanks!" Alex was thankful for Alessas help, and glad she was feeling better after the needle.

[Boomer]

Alessa was able to get some of the dishes done by the time Alex came in. "You're welcome." she said softly. Alessa was fairly good at cleaning dishes. Mrs. Potter was watching the two interacting with each other. She was glad that they were opening up to each other. She didn't oppose innocent paw-holding.

[humanitieslasthope.]

Alex came back into the kitchen, and loaded some more dishes into the dish washer. He noticed that Mrs. Potter had been watching them alot during the day, and he felt kinda... weirded out by it. why was she watching us like something was happening? Alex didnt think anything very exciting was happening, other than meeting Alessa. Maybe she was surprised he had finally opened up to someone, other than staying closed in and isolated from other kids. Maybe it was something else he didnt know about. Was it something to due with Alessa and her past? Alex thought of all the things it could be.
