Ruby held the bag in front of his face and unclenched her jaw.
"Then how do you explain THIS?" She said, shaking the bag in his face. And then he was looking around the room, as if to get help or something. HA! He was on his own.
But then her brain hatched a brilliant plan. She quickly lost her lioness demeanor and sat down next to him. "I only wanted to see if you'd share them with me," She said in her most honey-dripping voice. Flashing him another smile, she offered him the bag. Wait for it, wait for it...
"No no no no wait--!" but the lioness wasn't listening to him, and just a moment later, she had found and pulled out the bag of marshmallows he had tried to hide earlier, in vain.
Braeden groaned inwardly; he was doomed. She'd found the evidence. However... who said he couldn't just... continue lying? It's not like the bag of marshmallows had his name on it or anything, so... how could she prove it was his? Mwaha. Lying always worked.
And so, pretending to be completely surprised, Braeden raised his dark eyebrows. "Wow, I had no idea that was there; how'd you find it?" he asked, faking surprise and admiration.
But then, all of a sudden, the lioness did a 180.
She proceeded to sit down beside him (to which Braeden reacted by moving his legs off the couch and scooting as far to the left as possible, so far that he was almost sitting on the armrest rather than the couch). He watched her cautiously, as if she was a wild animal that had escaped its cage, and listened as she suddenly, sounding oh-so-very nice and sweet and innocent, explained that she just wanted him to share his marshmallows with her.
Oh?
Braeden's eyebrows raised in honest surprise this time. Wow... well... if that was really the case...
Letting out a soft, relieved (but still very wary) chuckle, Braeden moved back to his original spot, a little closer to the girl. "Well... if what you wanted was marshmallows, all you had to do was ask," he said, giving her one of his friendly, goofy smiles that made him look at least five years younger. "I can conjure 'em up in different shapes and flavours too, if you're interested," he added proudly.
