"Just take a deep breath okay?" I told Vega as we sat on a bench in front of the school, "in through your nose and out through your mouth." I repeated as she nodded her head and did what I said, slowly her breathing became more level, "do you feel better, now?"
"Yeah," she said as she continued the breathing techniques.
I smiled at her weakly, "can you tell me what's wrong? I-is it me or—"
"I think it's the whole situation that's making me feel not so good." She told me looking at her feet, I could hear how erratically, she was nervous, and I knew it. I nodded my head as I felt my heart stutter, I knew this environment wasn't a good place for this conversation.

She shrugged before opening her mouth, still full of food, "look, you said anywhere that I'd wanted to go, and this is the place that I wanted to go." She told me, "plus, I've really been craving these McNuggets for a while. I wish you could taste them; they are so good."
"Me too," I agreed as I watched her chew before I got an idea, "describe to me how they taste."
She laughed, "what?"
"Describe to me how they taste," I told her shrugging, "maybe I can visualize it."
"Alright fine," she said giving in and stopping her eating, "so, have you ever tasted the blood of a silkie chicken?"
