She has to agree. Between those two and maybe supermarkets, there was some good eating in the back of those places. It was where Kiden learned that expiration dates were just a suggestion, not a rule.

Kneeling back down to finish her search, Kiden continues talking to Steph. She might as well; Steph looks like she has no intention on leaving anytime soon.

"You don't look homeless." Neither does Kiden nowadays, with the handful of much needed pounds added on by home cooking and her constant shoplifting to take the edge off her sweet tooth. She's had her hair cut back into shape courtesy of Wanda and she looks less exhausted now that she gets to sleep in a real bed. But the only hint that something is still not right at home is that all of Kiden's clothes seem to be ill fitting, either too big or just a bit too smaller. So much for appreciating weight spurts.
