Nadia lifted her spoon to her mouth and sipped some of the soup. "So, what's the movie going to be about, Howard?" She asked.

Howard smiled and began, "Well, it's all about this english professor who likes this werewolf girl and..."

Ed suddenly felt something on his leg. He looked down and saw Nadia's foot bumping into his leg. He looked up at her, confused. She smiled at him and continued to kick him playfully.

Ed raised an eyebrow at her. Nadia covered her mouth with a hand and giggled silently.

"... and go to-- Nadia, are you even listening to me?" Howard asked.

Nadia looked away from Ed and to Howard. "Yes, Howard. I am. It's very interesting, please continue."

"Okay..." Howard said, with a bit of doubt in his voice. "So the cops go to the grandmother to question her about..."

Nadia looked back at Ed and kicked him again. Ed sighed and picked up his spoon, but as he reached for it, it slipped away from him and fell to the floor.

"Excuse me," Ed said, getting out of his seat and onto the floor on all fours.

"... But she's a werewolf too so they have a..."

Ed fumbled around underneath the table, looking for his spoon. As he was looking, he paused at the sight of Nadia's soft, silky legs. He reached out a hand to touch them, then hesitated and pulled it back.

He wondered how she got her legs like that. His never came out that nice. He'd have to ask her what her secret was later.

"Ed, what's taking so long under there?" Kathy asked.

Ed looked up from the legs and saw Nadia looking down at him, smiling.

Ed gulped and spotted his spoon off to the side next to the foot of the table. He grabbed it quickly and started back up. On his way back to his seat, though, he bumped his head on the edge of the table.

He sat down, holding his head.

Kathy looked over at him and placed a hand on his cheek.

"Are you alright?" Kathy and Nadia asked at the same time.

Howard gave Nadia a look.

"Yeah. I'm fine, I'm fine," Ed replied.

"Oh, you silly goose," Kathy said, sympathetically.

Nadia frowned.
