The door crashed open and she was holding a ball of eggshell and firelizard—firelizard??—and the bowl of meat tumbled to the floor, and—
“Oh noooo!” He wailed, watching in utter despair as the bowl spilled away from where he sat! He leapt forward, tangled in his own trousers around his ankles, scrabbling at the floor and—the bowl! He reached for the bowl and flung it over, but no morsels remained. “No, no no no!” He shrieked, features drawn in a terrible grimace as tears threatened to spill down his cheeks. The little bronze must be sooo hungry! If he didn’t eat—
“ZARRIE, FEED HIM!” He watched helplessly from the floor, backside in the air, and completely unable to get out the door to the meat morsels sitting tauntingly just outside his reach. Zarel stood right in the way with the firelizard, his firelizard, and he had nothing to offer the stupid thing! He screamed at the girl, hoping to at least startle her into moving. “FEED HIM BEFORE HE FLIES AWAY!” He knew he couldn’t get himself up in time, and the meat was out the door, on the other side of Zarrie, and there was no way he could get to it in time without risking hurting the fragile little thing. The tears spilled over as he watched her, hurt and embarrassed and frustrated. He had been so close!
