She looked frantically toward Spirit, and then back towards Zaru, wild-eyed. [color=orchid]"Zaru! Spirit didn't notice we were late, right? Me an' Pip were out so long yesterday, poor li'l guy slept in!"[/color] She explained, trying and failing to keep her voice low. She glanced behind her to see Pip coming in from the hallway, immediately standing beside her. He avoided looking up at Spirit, hoping he hadn't noticed their absence. [color=orchid]"Are there any apples left, Zaru? I'm [i]starved[/i], and so is Pip. Right, buddy?"[/color] Jaki playfully tapped the little Kricketot on the head. Pip nodded, looking quickly up at Zaru before looking away. [color=coral]"Yeah, real hungry."[/color] he said softly, absently kicking his feet. [@Polaris North]
