Elann came to him, straddling over his lap and facing his front. He brought a hand behind her to rest on her lower back to aid in keeping her upright there and the other went for the piece of bread in his mouth, bread that was stolen from its loose hold in his teeth by her. Immediately his brows creased to denote his dislike for it. Having his food taken wasn’t something he took kindly too, especially because he was hungry enough as it were. Atop of that, growing up with a family of predators meant that even in family meals food could become a competition, despite there being enough for everyone. He was the youngest of all his siblings, even more atop that, and meant his was often the victim of getting his food taken from him.

His look softened as he realized the thoughts that went through his head. Elann wasn’t attempting to take his food entirely, just start a game with him. He plucked the bread from her mouth nonetheless with his free hand.

“Mine,” he simply said as he brought it back to his mouth. 

Noah took a large bite of the bread, handing it back over to Elann’s lips to see if she wanted to bite it again. He wasn’t one to play with his food seeing as if he couldn’t take his catch to the trees, he had to eat quickly. He was purely businessminded when it came to eating and it explained why when she fed him he wouldn’t speak often, only doing so when his family was visiting because it was what they did together. In the times where Elann did eat with him, she was always done with her food before him between the seconds he would like. Though, with her he was learning to be less focused when eating and since this was supposed to be a game, when she drew forth to bite he moved the bread back so she’d miss, a humored and humming laugh coming from him as she did so.

He moved it back to her, humming for her to take it, and when she reached for it again he pulled it back like last time. Noah chuckled then, deriving his own fun from the instance. He presented it to her for the third time, not planning on pulling it back this time since he had his enjoyment and laughing.
