It had seemed that Toshinari's plan had worked for a moment; Izuna had turned around to look at the bento while Toshinari was inexorably shuffling to his claimed spot. However, his hopes were quickly dashed when she suddenly turned around. He froze suddenly as she turned, but Izuna had already caught him moving, throwing him an accusatory glare and pointing a finger at him. He chuckled nervously.

[color=fff2bb][i]Shit! She caught me![/i][/color] Toshinari chided himself in his mind.

Had he not been so careless, he might've been able to sneak into the spot with her being none the wiser, but that was out of the question now. The boy — busy contemplating what went wrong — he almost didn't register Izuna's words, asking him if he was hungry.

[color=fff2bb]"No, no, no,"[/color] Toshinari said, shaking his head. 

Truth be told, he was a bit hungry, but to yield to hunger would be to lose the spot that he had been working so hard to take.

[color=fff2bb]"I can just eat when we get to a city. You go ahead."[/color]

The boy patiently waited for Izuna's next move.
