Raye watched him and listened intently, she honestly couldn't remember talking to someone like this in a long time. She couldn't remember the last time she was spoken to as an equal, no underlying tones of superiority and disgust. She appeared shy and broken inside and she knew this but she did not know how else to act, this new freedom was so foreign to her. She sighed and stared down at the plate that he made appear in front of her, it was so weird she thought. She watched him place the meat upon the plate in front of her and she waited for it to cool a bit, playing with the utensils in silence.
