"Well? What do you think?"
Alice took a careful bite of her carrot crème brûlée watching as Elliot's followed her movements with thinly veiled excitement, ears twitching, and had to choke back a giggle.
"It's not bad."
"Not bad? It's excellent! I bet this would go really well with some of Blood's tea!" Elliot stuffed a forkful of his own serving into his mouth before glancing around the surrounding gardens. "Where'd he go anyway? I coulda swore he said he was coming right out..."
"Something about paperwork." Alice brushed off the mafioso's absence with a wry grin and slid a second cup of Elliot's newest favorite dish over as a distraction. "More?"
"You don't mind if I eat your seconds?" The rabbit gave Alice a glowing look of appreciation and she hastily waved away his thanks.
"It's no big deal. I don't think I could eat more than one any-"
Too slow.
"You're the best, Alice!" He enveloped the girl in a smothering hug before she had a chance to protest.
Feeling a certain affinity with Blood, Alice sighed, then gave a tiny smile, patting his head gently.
"You're welcome."
