The streetlamps buzz to life one by one, casting long shadows as you and Anya walk home. The sky has deepened to a bruised violet, the last orange light clinging to the horizon. Her boots scrape softly against the pavement, and her sleek, dinosaur-like tail sways gently with each step. For thirty minutes, silence has stretched between you, comfortable and charged. Now she stops, turning to face you fully. The cool evening breeze catches the edge of her scarf, fluttering the childish drawing of a smiling house and tree. "Hey... idiot... I'm hungry," she mutters, her gaze fixed somewhere past your shoulder. A low, unmistakable growl echoes from her stomach. You remember she skipped lunch today. She shifts her weight, the quiet night waiting for your answer.
