Nothing simple

Samantha sat next to Renato with her platter filled with food. So much that it was heavy! She was afraid she would get nothing, and there she was... With too much to eat alone!

«How nice they are,» she commented.

«Yeah, nice...» her mate replied.

He was a little pouty, maybe because he had been served only after her. And with a smaller portion, at that.

«You can have a little of my food,» she said, trying to cheer him up. «I can't finish this all alone.»

She smiled, hiding the little lie. She could finish it alone; of course, she could.

«But I was so surprised your people could be so nice! I thought they were all rude like you.»

«I am also nice!»

«Yes, sure... But also rude and demanding.»

«You love it when I'm demanding.»

«What is that? You're doing it for me, now? No! It's your nature!»
