As expected, Noah was caught off guard, and if his look hadn't softened, Elann would have felt somewhat distraught. As it was, his looks did soften as he realized it was a game. He snatched it from her mouth and took a big bite of it. She glared at him playfully, almost predator-like, and he would see that where her cute little teeth were, there was no piece missing. She had bit it initially very lightly and then held it mostly with her lips, so when he had snagged it from her it was quite easy to get away. It too was a sign she didn't intent to take his food from him.

Eventually, he began to hand over the bread back to her and she opened her mouth to take a bite, but he fooled her. It sent her into giggles for a moment before he tried again. She nipped at it more intently to take it back, but he snatched it from her again. With her playful toothy grin, he could see that twinkle in her eye he had seen on the days of their bonding, the day of her wedding, and any other such happy moment. He presented it a third time and she went after it so good she almost got his finger in the process. With it in her lips again, she mouthed, "Mine", back at him and giggled with his laughter. 

It was then that the triangle bell rang for food and she moved closer to him so he could put the small amount of bread back in his mouth. Once he took it from her, she would let it go and would run a hand through his hair with a little nibble on her upper lip.

"I'm going to go get you a bunch of food okay? Then I'll be right back." 

She would reach up with a hand and snatch the bread from his mouth and would plant a kiss on his lips before setting it back in his hand and sliding off of him carefully. If he didn't protest, she would skip off to the line forming for food to get two full plates for him. She would share off the second one, but wasn't very hungry so it would be a small amount. For dinner that night there was rabbit, dried bear steak, dried fish, squirrel, and some sort of lizard. There was also soup and some dried kale with spices, but she skipped all of those things and just gathered a bunch of lizard, squirrel, and rabbit- the freshest of the meats and then would head back.
