After throwing the sauce together in the pan he turned to her with a smile "Smells good eh? I know me tummy's rumblin."

*The girl laughed softly, appreciative for his not pointing out the obvious and embarrassing her. She swallowed, her mouth watering more eagerly at the thought and smell of the dish as it came together.*
"It...it smells wonderful." *She confessed. What if she was wrong about him? What if he wasn't so... The thought was interrupted by a more pressing issue.*
"Oh! I should set the table." *The girl headed to a nearby cupboard and lifted onto her toes that she might retrieve two plates. Removing some silver from the drawer, she headed back to the small table in the kitchen, doing her best to make it presentable as he worked on the food. It was better, this having something to do.*

He smiled, a few people passed by the kitchen and smiled at him on their way out to the garden. In a few minutes the food was done and he was headed toward the table "Looks great mum."

*Her brow crinkled for only a moment, but it was instantly smoothed at the sight of the food. She bit her lip to keep from drooling.*
"Um...thank you. You really didn't have to go through all this trouble on my account." *But even as she said it, she hurried to sit that they might be getting to the eating part.
She had been at John's for a while now, but she still had some of the ingrained practice of eating as much as possible whenever was possible. The girl had spent too many years on the street and it was apparent that she had spent a lot of time without.*

He smiled and placed the noodles on her plate, before pouring a hefty amount of sauce on it. He brought her some water and sat down with his own plate "Dig in."

*The girl didn't have to be told twice and she did so without hesitation or particular grace. Soon she had a spattering of sauce about her face as she continued to shovel it in quickly. He was right, it really was so good. So much more complex than she remembered. She may not have spoken, but the muffled sounds of happiness escaped as she filled herself, eating more than one would expect such a small girl capable of. She reached for seconds unceremoniously.*

"I'm glad you like it" he grinned and handed her a napkin.

*She stared at the napkin dumbly for a moment before realizing the implications. She took it and wiped at her face. The girl managed to get most of it, but a few smudges remained. Undeterred, she dug into the next helping with an eager nod.*
"Ifs fery goo'." *She mumbled through the pasta. Who would have thought something simple could be so indulgent?*
"Fank 'ou."

He finished his small portion and leaned back with a smile, he was glad to finally be able to cook something for someone else. It was nice to have something so simple appreciated, for the right reasons.
"I'm glad."

*The girl slurped up the last of her noodles, instinctively looking back at the now empty serving dish. Her brow lowered and she ducked her head sheepishly.*
"I'm sorry." *She whispered.* "I didn't mean to...well, I mean, it was so..." *Her lips twisted in frustration.*
"I didn't mean to eat it all."

"Don't worry, I don't eat very much" this was true, he'd learned to sustain himself on the smallest of portions "I'm just 'appy you enjoyed it."

*The girl nodded, oddly carefree. Food had the strangest way of putting her at ease. Or at least distracting her. Though it seemed strange that he should eat so little being as big as he was and she the opposite.*
"It's amazing..." *She started, her smile wide and unabashed.* "Where did you learn..." *The words died on her lips as another face drifted into view, pacing behind him. The man was bloody and swollen, glaring intensely at Vincent. The girl immediately paled, her eyes dropping to her lap. She tried to breathe like John had taught her in attempts to steady herself. But suddenly, her stomach wasn't quite as happy.*

"Yes..." *She answered weakly, all evidence to the contrary. The girl prayed that she could keep the food down, but all the pressure of the situation was whittling her down.*
Don't you dare! *His voice hissed, the man's gaze never faltering.* Don't pretend he's something wholesome. He's a monster. Cold. Calculating...
*The girl swooned, unsteady in her chair as she lifted her hands to cover her ears, hoping in vain it would silence him.*

Vincent reached across the table to steady her "I'm going ta get Mr. Bristow" he stood up and looked back once, before rushing through the house to find John.
Moments later they returned.
