Far be for Kiden to turn down food, but she's busy picking at the corners of her pita bread instead of the falafel part. It's not that she doesn't like the dish; it doesn't taste nasty or anything, but it's an acquired taste for her. She would have preferred a hot dog or maybe even a pretzel, but it's Laura's treat and Kiden doesn't want Laura to feel bad or anything, if she even has the ability to.

But the one thing Kiden won't stand for is this guy yapping their ears off. She's tuned him out long ago, but there's a difference between her and Laura. Kiden feels like she has to answer his inane questions, no matter how many he asks. This honestly is getting old.

"Is he ever gonna shut up?" she whispers, leaning into Laura so the old guy won't hear her.
