The one good thing about these kind of hotels was the complimentary breakfast. Sadly, Liz seemed more enthusiastic about it than he did. From how last night had gone, he didn't have very high hopes. The smell coming from the dining room was descent. Although, the initial view of it wasn't exactly great.
"This is the breakfast?" Red asked. Liz nodded before walking over to the counter. Red watched her poor batter onto the waffle iron and close it. She looked so at ease with all of this while he wasn't sure what to do.
"You know, you can get something to eat?" Liz asked. He glanced around at the assorted items: eggs, sausage, toast, pastries. Nothing seemed very appealing.
"I think I'll wait," he stated. Liz shrugged and went back to her waffle. Shortly, she had her breakfast while Red sat across from her.
"You sure that you don't want anything?" Liz questioned. Usually, he would have at least sipped coffee or something.
"I'm fine. I'm not even hungry yet," he answered. His stomach betrayed him immediately and gave a low, but very audible, growl. Liz raised an eyebrow while he cleared his throat to cover it up.
"Just get a muffin or something," she said but he shook his head. Liz rolled her eyes and took a bite of her waffle. She gave a small 'mmm' which got another rumble from Red's stomach.
Holding back a smirk Liz repeated the noise. Red gave a small glare. He knew what she was doing. Sadly, it was working. His belly grumbled which made Liz chuckle.
"Will you stop that?" He snapped.
"Sorry, it was funny," she responded. "Now, will you just pick something. Otherwise, I'll have to hear you complaining about being hungry later."
"Fine, I'll get a pastry or something."
Red stood up and grabbed a plate. After picking up a cherry pastry, he sat back down in front of her. He stared at it for a long moment like it might get up and walk away. Finally, he sighed and picked it up.
"If this ends up upsetting my stomach, I blame you," he said before biting into it. He chewed for a moment before making a pained noise and clutching his jaw.
"Very funny, Red," Liz said while rolling her eyes. "Like the food is that bad," she added. He pulled a cherry pit out of his mouth before reaching back in. This time, he pulled out a small white piece that could only have been part of a tooth. "Oh my God!"
"... I'm really never letting you pick the place again."
