Stone Circle Remember when Ezekiel x Anita was OTP? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

It was hard for King to imagine Valette scolding anyone - she seemed like a real sweetheart - but he supposed mothers acted differently toward their young. His own mother had been rather strict to him and his siblings, but he'd seen her act sweetly to their father rather often. Hm.

"Well, I don't plan to snap at you," he said with a chuckle. "It's just a few birds. Better to practice and eat tomorrow than to eat today and not learn a thing, right?" Well. He wasn't as good at dadisms as his dad was, but that sounded like a good kind of logic, right?

"You're right, at any rate. They're going to see me. But they might not see you with your pale coat and all. What if I went 'round and distracted them, and you snuck up and nabbed one while they were figuring out what I was up to?"
