 Sardines ♥ // Nomsy, yo ❄ rolling in the ink ❄
Cat’s eyes followed Marina’s, taking in the spread of food on the table before them. Wordlessly, she helped herself to a piece of toast with strawberry jam. She chewed on it thoughtfully as Marina spoke. She swallowed hard before reaching for her own mug of hot chocolate. Dinner of champions.
She paused in her feasting when Marina aptly assumed that she was here because she’d forgotten dinner. Cat slowly, deliberately set down her mug before glancing sideways at her friend, her expression almost comically suspicious.
“You are stronger than you look,” she said confidently. She assumed it was too soon to start making jokes, but she was sure that a certain other third year Gryffindor could directly speak to Marina’s unassuming strength.
Moving on.
“I did, in fact, forget to eat dinner because I was studying.” She stated. Her back straightened a bit on its own accord. “However, you are not only self-described as stress eating, but also very obviously trying to keep me from asking how you are.” She paused, her expression and tone softening. “So, if you get to be worried about me, then I get to be worried about you, too.” Deal?
