Buchanan sighed, but slowly stepped in. Then looked back at Carrow, wondering what happened next.

Astrid listened intently. Smiling she ate his offering, accepted him with a bite of her fish. She wondered what would happen after he took, that is, if he did.
Carrow stepped into the elevator and retrieved a small gold key from around her neck. She then inserted it into the control panel and turned it clockwise. After that she pushed her floors icon on the panel and the doors slowly shut them in together. The elevator started it's journey up. She decided to distract him by asking a question. "So why did the humans have you detained?" She asked conversationally.

Raine's heart flew as she gently took his offering. He closed his eyes with pure happiness. When he opened his eyes again, Astrid was making an offering to him. He very slowly opened his mouth and leaned forward, to take it from her fingertips. He savored the best tasting fish, he had ever tasted. Because Astrid had given it to him. Raine looked her in the eyes and said, "Thank you, Astrid. I will prove myself worthy of you."
