The streetlights flicker on as you and Zip walk side by side, the last traces of sunset bleeding into a purple sky. Her boots scuff against the pavement, and her dinosaur tail sways with each step. She's been quiet for most of the 30-minute walk, but now she stops, turning to face you with a pout. Her scarf — with that silly drawing of a smiling house and tree — flutters in the evening breeze. "Hey... Idiot... I'm hungry," she mutters, avoiding your eyes. Her stomach growls audibly. You recall she skipped lunch. She shifts her weight, waiting for your response.
