"I guess she doesn't remember that part of the Halloween party." Ren thought looking back at Kippy.

"And the look on her face, she was scared of something." He continued.

Ren thought as he led Kippy through the hallway, into his kitchen.

"I know father wants her out of here by sundown, but I need to make sure she is alright before she goes home, and I have to escort her home leaving father unattended."

Ren stops to open the door she pauses for a moment before going in. 

Closing the door Ren points her towards the table, pulling out the chair before she sat down.

"Thank you." Kippy says her face is turning slightly red.

Ignoring it Ren asks "What do you want to eat? I can cook simple dishes if you want."

"I just want toast." She replies.

"Really? I can make you French toast and eggs if wanted." Ren shots back.

"I'm surprised. I thought she would have wanted something heavier."

"Yes, toast is fine." She replied quietly.

Ren pulls the bread out of our small refrigerator.

"How many slices?"

"Three."

I pull out six slices for both of us and put two in the toaster.

"How toasted do you want them?" Setting the toast dial.

"In the middle." Kippy replies resting her chin in hand.

"Got it." Ren replies pulling the tab down on the toaster.

Other than the ticking and hissing of the toaster it was quiet.

"Do you like any TV shows Ren?" Kippy asks, trying to break the silence.

"Not really, I don't really watch TV." Ren replies nervously.

The tinging of the toaster broke the awkwardness of the conversation.

"Here you go I'll get the rest." Ren says grabbing Kippy’s share of the toast.

"Thank you." Kippy replies smiling slightly as she takes the toast.

Ren walks over to the fridge.

"Any butter, or jelly?" He asks.

"Butter please." She replies.

Ren grabs the next three pieces from the toaster.

"Ren how do you like the classes at school so far?" Kippy asks in between bites.

"They are alright. I am doing fine if that is what you are asking." Ren asks as he puts jelly on his toast.

"Are you feeling any better since you have eaten some?" He asks as he sits down at the table.

"Yes, I am feeling much better thank you." Kippy replies putting the last piece in her mouth.

Ren looks over to see she had eaten the three pieces he gave her.

"She must have been hungry."

Time passes.

"Do you want more?" Ren asks as he still has one piece left.

"No thanks. I need to get home so my parents will be beyond worried at me." Kippy replies getting up from the table.

"I can walk you home if you would like." Ren suggests.

"I'm fine." Kippy replies pushing in her chair.

"I insist it is getting dark." Ren says getting up from the table.

"Alright, if you insist." Kippy gives up.

The sun starts setting, they both come out of Ren's house. She looks around to see if she knows the area. 

"We're not that far from my house." Kippy says notices the familiar buildings.

"Are you sure?" Ren questions.

"Yes. We go to that grocery store all the time." Kippy replies walking towards it.

Ren escorted her to the grocery store, and she insisted on walking the rest of the way herself.

Ren still followed her from a distance to make sure she got home. “I think she knew I was behind her the whole time.” Ren thought.

 Kippy waves at him right as she closed the door behind her.

“I'm glad she's safe. Now to get home to father before something happens.” Ren thought as he headed home.
