"So now what?" Ryuka questioned.
"I'd bet you'd be pretty hungry!" Washu burst out.
"Well erm…Yeah." he stated.
"It's alright, I'm sure Sasami would be glad to whip you up something. Can you walk?"
"I-I think so..." He stood up, wobbled a bit, and gained his balance. He slowly took small steps in order to get a feel for it.
"Come on, young one. Let's get you a meal." They slowly made their way to the living room.
Ryoko and Ayeka were sitting at opposite ends of the table.
"I see you're taking your time, Ryoko." spouted out Ayeka.
"Mind your own business." She retorted.
"Hey, Sasami, would you mind making Ryuka here something for breakfast?" Washu asked.
"Not at all, Washu! It'll be ready in just a second!" replied the culinary wondergirl.
Ryuka took a seat at the table, a chair in between him and Ryoko. "H-"
"So this is the young boy. Are you alright?" Ayeka asked him as she interrupted Ryoko.
"Uh. Yes. Thank you. Were you about to say something, Miss Ryoko?" he looked to her in hopes to spark conversation.
"No. Nothing." She finished her food and left the table.
He was upset now. She was about to speak to him. He suddenly grew melancholy.
"Here you go, Ryuka!" Sasami had kindly placed his plate in front of him. He was so into his thoughts that he failed to notice just how amazing the food he ate was. He finished his meal and went to find Washu. He wanted to talk to Ryoko, and he guessed Washu would probably know how to help him best.
