Theodore giggled when Malekai ruffled his hair. "I'm just a curious person, that's why." He paused. "Well if you say so, master. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

“It’s alright. I won’t hurt you like that.” Malekai assured, straining the noodles and mixing in the cheese, then putting some on a plate and handing it to the human.

He smiled as he took the plate happily. He picked up his utensil and started eating his food. Some people were sure to get tired of eating the same thing again and again, but Theodore wasn't one of them. No matter what the food was, as long as it was human food, he would eat it.
"It's been a while since I last eat Macaroni." He said with his fork spoon in his mouth.

Malekai tilted his head some. “But didn’t you say that was your favorite food?”

Theodore shrugged. "Well yes, but my parents used their money on alcohol and stuff like that, and never really bought good food. I was like probably five or six the last time I eat Macaroni, I can't really remember."

Malekai’s smile dropped. “They sounded like crummy parents…”

"Oh, they were. They were never really around. They would leave for days without giving us food. I had to take care of myself and my sister. I felt like if I was her actual father." He responded with a fake laugh. "That was fun."

Malekai shook his head, sighing some and wrapping his arms around the human. "Sorry to hear that." He then let go of Theo so he could eat. "I'd say I had better parents, but naga abandon their children when they're about 5."

He smiled as Malekai hugged him and felt a bit sad when he let go of him. He picked up his spoon and took another bite of his food. "That's horrible," He finally said, after he put his spoon down on the plate. "So, the little ones just have to survive on their own without guidance?"

Malekai shrugged some. "We're almost completely independent when we turn 4, so it's no big deal really."

"I've heard of humans abandoning their children, and since humans evolve differently than nagas, well, it's most likely a human child would be dead in a week, or in days. It depends if they also have some sort of illness.. . . Unless someone else takes them into their family and starts raising them as if they were their own child."

Malekai nods. “You’re… not the first human I’ve seen abandoned on the streets, but you’re the first one alive.”

"Ha, yeah. I kinda gave up on life after my sister disappeared. I actually lived under a bridge for some time, asking people riddles before they could pass." Theodore joked.

Malekai let out a laugh at that. "Oh really? I think I have a buddy who'll fight ya for that bridge. He's got a lot of warts, and has a deep, scraggly voice." He joked back.

(Happy Halloween!)

Theodore laughed. "Haha! No one can win that bridge from me. I'm just too plain scary. Anyone who looks at me just runs away." He leaned forward to Malekai. "I'm secretly a witch." He whispered.

Malekai burst out in a deep hearty laugh at hearing this, hands wrapping around his stomach. He continued this for a minute, then stopped, wiping a tear from his eye. "God… I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard…" He says with another quiet chuckle. "Thanks for that."

Theodore laughed and smiled up at him. He was glad he could make his master happy. He enjoyed making people laugh because he liked to see them happy. "You're welcome. I've always thought that my job in this world was to make people feel happy and better."

Malekai wrapped an arm around Theodore, smiling. "Y'know, you're alright. I'm glad I found you before someone else did." If someone else had, Theo wouldn't be laughing with anyone right now… Or he could be dea. He decided not to think about it.

He looked at Malekai and tilted his head. Something seemed to be bothering his master, and he wondered what it was. he didn't want to make him uncomfortable so he decided to not ask him anything. "I don't know much about you, so I hope you don't mind me asking this, but what are your hobbies? Besides playing the guitar of course."

Malekai was pulled out of his thoughts by the question, looking back at Theo. "Oh, um… Nothing else, really… I mean, I work… But, um, I don't do much of anything else, heh…"

"Oh. Okay then. Uh, what do you work as? The thought of you working never actually crossed my mind before, so I'm actually quite curious. You don't have to answer my question if you don't want to." He asked as he put his hand on the table and laid his head on them.

"I just work in retail." Malekai answered simply, shrugging some. "It's not an awesome job, but it pays well at least. And at least I'm not working as a human trainer…" He sighed. "I would hate that job, really."

"Well, at least they're paying you." He paused and looked a bit confused. "Human trainer? What would nagas do in that job anyway?"

Malekai hesitated a moment before answering. "Well, if a human isn't behaving how a naga wants them to, the naga will take them to a trainer. They, pretty much… Beat the attitude out of them…"

"Oh." He said softly as he played with his fork. The information he had gained actually scared him and regretted ever asking the question. He couldn't help but wonder if that would ever happen to him. He hoped not, because he knew that he wouldn't be able to take it.

Malekai noticed Theodore's expression drop. "I, wouldn't do that to you. Just so you know that. But most humans are used as… f*cktoys, or punching bags. So you're lucky you got me as a master…"

He didn't look up from the plate, but there was a hopeful smile on his face. "T-that's good to know. I-I'm not hungry anymore," He said as he pushed his plate aside. There was only a quarter left of macaroni on the plate. Things had gotten a bit awkward, and it was partly his fault.

Malekai went quiet as well, taking Theodore's plate to the sink and getting rid of the access food, then washing it off. "I… Probably shouldn't have mentioned that… Sorry."

"No, no, it's fine. It was my fault. I shouldn't have asked in the first place. Honestly, It'd be much better if I just stopped asking questions." He said as he hopped off the seat and sat down on the couch. "Sorry about that, master."

Malekai hesitated at the humans words. "I… I don't care if you ask me questions… How about this, if I feel like you wouldn't want to know the answer to something, I won't tell you. Okay?"
