Alexis sniffed around Jacob's room, looking up at the plate of food in interest. If Jacob wasn't going to eat it, maybe Alexis could? He didn't like cooked meat as much as raw, but he was always so hungry. He stood on his feet, using the dresser to prop himself up against. He licked the food first, hating how hot it was. He then carefully grabbed a slice of meat with his mouth and dragged it off the plate, swallowing it on his way back onto the floor. He glanced over to Jacob, wondering if he would be yelled at for stealing the man's food.

After a while of silence, Alexis crawled up onto the bed and licked the man's face. He wasn't crying, but was feeling utterly helpless and really angry.
