Ellie saw the duck look back and forth between Dallin's bread and Ellie's bread. It was probably trying to decide which one to eat. Oh, this was war now. A mental bread war between Ellie and Dallin. Personally, Ellie's bread looked more appetizing than Dallin's but... such was life. Oh well.

"Eat my bread. It's yummier," Ellie whispered to the duck. It looked at her for a moment before waddling closer, eyeing the two pieces of bread before him. Or her. It.
Dallin almost laughed at the duck. It was funny, the way it looked back and forth between Ellie and Dallin, as if trying to decide who to go to. Maybe it didn't realize that it could go to one person, then go to the other and get both pieces of bread?

...Eh. Animal minds. Not as evolved as human ones.

At Ellie's next words, Dallin's head snapped over to look at her. It was the same bread! ...Fine. It was on. "Mine's better," he disagreed in a whisper, looking back at the duck. "I'm holding it, see? And I'm hooot..." His voice became kind of sing-song on the last word. Sure, Ellie was attractive too. Very. But hey, whatever you had to do to get the duck to take your bread, right?
