God help his future weapons and everyone else who would have to deal with him. Here is hoping that by then he'll at least have matured more.
But that was the future. This was the present, and while Liz had been preparing his dinner Kid had been left to his own thoughts. A mental checklist of what he needed to do. No, they were not things he should be thinking, but it actually helped him. A bit of security to at least have some plan for the morrow.
When he heard Liz approach, he lifted his hand and straightened back up. Minute by minute he felt that need for sleep beckon, but he resisted. He gave his thanks as he took the tray and took a bite.
And ate it a lot faster than he anticipated. All right, he was hungrier than he thought.
"I'm sorry I haven't been around lately," he said after another.
Noo he's not. But he'll seem like that at first anyway. Just usual stress/exhaustion symptoms.
