Lio finds himself surprised by how easily he's fallen into such a close and familiar pattern with Galo. The soft touches, the sweet and natural affection. It's going to undo him.

His stomach rumbles its answer to Galo's offer of food, taking the bundle and opening it to start in on eating. Delicious like the first time. His mate can cook. "This is delicious. Thanks. Just like our first date."

A laugh escapes before he can stop it. "Yeah, I think you could probably persuade them to help." Really easily. They've been scraping by at best trying to keep their people fed while hiding away.
