"You can't blame a guy for trying" Dimitri replied with humor as he raised his arms in defeat.

With his hands occupied, Alexis darted a hand over and grabbed a fry. "Stolen prizes taste all the better, amiright?" She asked, grinning at him as she ate.

Zaine nodded, pleased with her reply. It wasn't often that he found someone who could understand his sometimes odd questions. He turned back to look at the painting. "It's a way of escape, is it not?" He said, having heard her last sentence.

Ava nodded "Foster care is not what the ads claim it to be. A lot are just in it for the paycheck, and the ones that aren't get taken off the rolls because they adopt the kids."

Donella ate her food and drank her milk silently as she watched the others. When she was done, she shifted and lay on her side beside Andorra just so she wouldn't have to speak to anyone else.

Andorra noticed her friend shift and felt honored that she stayed by her. She absently scratched behind her tiny cat's ear. Part in reassurance and part in easy friendship.

With his hands occupied, Alexis darted a hand over and grabbed a fry. "Stolen prizes taste all the better, amiright?" She asked, grinning at him as she ate.

Dimitri put on a hurting expression. "That was my fry. I had them all counted" He whined pathetically.

Ava nodded "Foster care is not what the ads claim it to be. A lot are just in it for the paycheck, and the ones that aren't get taken off the rolls because they adopt the kids."

Zaine kept his gaze on the painting, but his attention was fully focused on Ava. "Is that what you try to escape from, through painting?" He asked.

Dimitri put on a hurting expression. "That was my fry. I had them all counted" He whined pathetically.

"You can still count them. Simply subtract one," Alexis explained reasonably.

Andorra noticed her friend shift and felt honored that she stayed by her. She absently scratched behind her tiny cat's ear. Part in reassurance and part in easy friendship.

Donella purred at that, glad to have her pet her even as she listened to the other two argue.

Zaine kept his gaze on the painting, but his attention was fully focused on Ava. "Is that what you try to escape from, through painting?" He asked.

Ava rubbed her arms, before nodding "One of the things I don't want to think of" She said, getting irritated a little. She had been calm, not thinking and now she was thinking about it all again.

"You can still count them. Simply subtract one," Alexis explained reasonably.

" But I calibrated just enough ketchup for them all, now you've thrown the ratio off" Dimitri debated his reasoning.

Ava rubbed her arms, before nodding "One of the things I don't want to think of" She said, getting irritated a little. She had been calm, not thinking and now she was thinking about it all again.

"Then don't. There's no need to dwell on the past," Zaine said. Easier said than done, though. He was all too often thinking of his own past.
