"Rrreptile?" Ranma repeated.
Theo nodded his head and spoke softly, as to not startle the young child. "A cold blooded animal, scales, lays eggs."
Ranma nodded his head. He had eaten a few of those. Simply hated how the skin got caught between his teeth. Very hard to get out. Julia eyed the boy and wondered what it was with him. She was holding him, a slightly dangerous task. Holding him in her arms was surprising. He was strong. Not strong enough to break out of her grip, but enough that she had to apply some actual strength to keep him sitting down in place. "Just what is this child?" Julia asked herself mentally.
Digging through the picnic cooler, Britanny pulled out a few uneaten Tunafish sandwiches. Unwrapping one from the plastic wrap, she asked, "Would you like one, Ranma?"
Ranma nodded his head energetically. It was amazing. His Queen was keeping him fed. He had just protected her ONCE and she kept looking out for HIS needs. It was at this point on that Ranma would make sure to stay with this Queen no matter what. She was very giving. "Yesss..."
Britanny nodded her head and handed Ranma the tunafish sandwich. Ranma tentively reached out for it and took hold. Bringing it to his face, Ranma sniffed it a few times. Experimentally taking a bite of it, Ranma's eyes widened. It was good! Nice, cool, somewhat sweet-tangy flavor. It was delicious.
Britanny had trouble supressing a giggle as she saw Ranma stuffing the entire sandwich into his mouth. "Wow. You must like tuna almost as much as I do."
Ranma nodded his head and continued chewing the meal. He had tuna all around his mouth, and started wiping his mouth with his hands, putting the excess tuna into his mouth.
Theo looked over at Julia. "He's not really one for table-manners, is he?"
Julia shrugged. "He's just a little boy. We have no clue how long he's been living here on his own."
Theo nodded his head. For all they know, he might have been abandoned and grew up in these woods. A real predator. "Hmm... Perhaps iit would be best we took the boy back with us to America."
"You're sure?" Julia asked. She wanted to make sure that Theo was making a choice he wouldn't feel bad about going with later.
Theo nodded his head. "I'm sure."
