Shadow's voice reached his hears, barely, and Aaron forced himself to look away. He looked to teh side, upwards, downwards, anything to avoid looking at Shadow's face again. "Yes," he replied. He coughed and tried again, atempting not to sound like such an idiot. "Yes I would like something to eat, thank you."

Try as he might he could not keep his eyes away from Shadow's face for long and as his eyes returned to the unmasked features he could feel the heat rise in his cheeks. What was he? Some blushing school girl? This was ridiculous.
