Tessa stood up as Ruby confirmed that she would like to grab something to eat. Tessa smiled, slightly, as Ruby came up with her own nickname for her. Tessa was happy that it seemed like Ruby treasured her friendship with her as much as Tessa treasured her friendship with her. Tessa reached out a hand to the sitting Ruby, offering to help her to her feet. As she did so, Tessa's stomach growled, very audibly, causing Tessa's face to turn beet red, and mete out a very soft "S-sorry, guess I really am hungry." Tessa hadn't ate for hours, and was always a person who needed food in her stomach.
