Lyric smiled sweetly at the concern about her being on a diet, and shook her head, brushing stray strands of hair out of her face with her free hand afterwards. “No-no,” she insisted, giving his arm a gentle squeeze with her own. “That’s why I have to be on a diet! I have to make sure I get enough calories and whatnot because I dance so much.” She smiled reassuringly. “It’s not like, to be skinny or anything. But if I don’t be careful, I could end up sick.” Lyric didn’t mind her diet; it was all delicious foods, and it was for a good cause: dancing!
“Lasagna is good, too!” Lyric said enthusiastically, beaming. “I haven’t had any in a really long time.” She added honestly, “I don’t eat much meat. I prefer my veggies.” She grinned and stuck her tongue out, eyes bright with her amusement. “What do you like to do for fun?” Lyric asked, curious as she suddenly changed the subject. She could see the Starbucks not far away now, but she wasn’t ready to say goodbye to her new friend, even though she didn’t want him to accidentally meet Nocturne – her brother was far too intense, and she was scared he’d scare off her new friend before she really got to know him.
