[He's meant to be bringing supplies back up to the house, but he's reasonably certain there's enough money in what his mother handed him for a sandwich first.

He takes his prize to the park, sprawls out on the grass, taking a few bites before he fishes out a slice of tomato to eat on its own.]

[Bowen's been taking too long, which by their mother's terms, is any amount of time out of her sight, even if she's the one that sent them. She's doing better, they're both patient with her, but this transition is going to be strange for all of them. Asha knows where Bowen is any second of any day, but she humours her mother in coming to find him, reaching over to steal that slice of tomato before it reaches his mouth.]

[He knows perfectly well that she's going to do it, but makes no move to stop her.]

Thank you for the rescue, but I am fairly certain I wouldn't have choked.

[She gives a slight tilt of her head.]

You didn't get me a sandwich.
