*he smiles softly, glancing away* ..thanks
*He hugs Max again and rubbed his hair affectionately.*
*he chuckles, shooing Carlos’ hand away*
*Carlos just grinned.* Wanna get some juice, buddy? Or a soda?
*he smiles, fixing his hair* yeah, okay
Let’s go get some, then. Maybe we can also see if we can snag some pudding cups – Angela says they’re yummy.
they are yummy! i used to eat them all the time back when i could still taste stuff..
What do you mean ‘could taste’… can you not now?
nope, my tongue doesn’t work anymore, it sucks
Oh. I’m sorry to hear that. Um… can you still feel textures? Are there textures you like?
soft textures! *he puts his hands in his pockets*
so pudding is good then? Or do you like something else better now?
*he nods* pudding’s a good idea, easier to steal
wait: steal?
yeah, we’re not allowed to have pudding without asking the QM, but i don’t talk to him…
Let’s… not talk to him. He’s not someone you kids should be interacting with. I’ll get the puddings and juice, don’t worry.
*he smiles and nods* alright- wait, you don’t want me to come? i have a big pocket that’s good for carrying things
Well, I don’t want you to get in trouble. But you can come if you want – I’m an adult so I’m sure I can talk us out of anything if we get caught. I’ll say your blood sugar is running low or something.
