When it became rather apparent that John would not be re-claiming his cell or that it would not be bestowed to him upon request, he glanced down his torso at the bag emitting the glorious aroma of home cooked food.
"But Rodriguez-" He murmured, pawing at flimsy foil and paper much in the same manner a curious raccoon might. "There's nothin' I can do-"
John turned his 'sorrowful' eyes to the disapproval aimed at his head.
The stereo wailed and the Kiwi, returning to his purportedly missing agony, then channeled (through lip-syncing) the indomitable spirit of Miss Tyler.
A shame for Mister Key that Señor Rodríguez was growing steadily less impressed with this whole situation, and once more cursing himself for coming to John's "aid". Again. He'd stopped keeping count at this point and was sort of horrified to realize he was slowly becoming acclimated to this unorthodoxy and that he had even begun to resign himself to the fact that this would probably be what the rest of his (if God was at all merciful) hopefully not-too-drawn-out life would be like.

John had latched on with a sound akin to a dying ape and the unwitting victim was tugged quickly toward the gaping maw of the beast-
Dog and man bumped noses.
"Now why can't your master be as friendly as you, mate?"
"Probably because his master has more sense than an animal..." Ale muttered darkly, retrieving the abandoned bag of food from the floor to place on a nearby side table.
