 LeilaLeila watched James carefully, intrigued by the sound he'd made, but not about to make any mention of it. "As you wish, sir," she said, wondering how he would react to that title rather than 'master'.

 James Ortiz James stood up from the couch, his back slightly hunched as he trudged towards the kitchen. "I'll meet you in the kitchen then.Just take your time and think about what it is you might want to eat." He seemed to hurry and didn't wait to let her follow him. As soon as he was in the kitchen he turned to make sure she wasn't there, or at least not looking if she was, and quickly straightened his back, pressing on it. The bones popped back into their normal spot and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Need to keep calm," he murmured to himself.

Leila Leila watched him leave the room, wondering at his posture. She didn't really care what she ate as long as it wasn't the pig slop they flung into the cages at the Center. Her sharp ears caught another popping sound similar to the one James had made a minute before, and she headed silently into the kitchen. She heard him saying something to himself, but she didn't quite catch what it was. Still moving silently, Leila walked up to James and put a hand on his back. Her touch was light and she didn't put any weight behind it, but she could feel the tension held in the knotted muscles there.

James Ortiz James turned around to look at Leila, his body slightly jerking away at her touch. "I'm not feeling like anything fancy at the moment, so how about a sandwich? Do you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" He seemed calm again and he smiled.

Leila Leila blinked slowly at James when he jerked away. "You're very tense, sir. I was simply trying to help. A sandwich is fine," she shrugged. "Anything's better than the slop they gave us in the Center."

James Ortiz James shrugged as his smile turned to nothing but a firm line at the mention of his tenseness. "Yes, it happens sometimes." With a sigh he went to go quickly prepare two sandwiches. "Lucky for you I won't have anything but edible and tasty food."

Leila Leila tried a smile. She got the feeling it ended up making her look a bit like Wednesday Addams, so she gave up. "Yes, lucky me. Is there something I can do for you, sir? To help?" It didn't feel right that her new master was doing the work rather than her. Of course, that way of thinking had been pounded into her for the past twelve years, so how else could she feel about it?

James Ortiz James couldn't help but smile gently, Leila's effort in smiling, though eerie as it may have looked, was cute to him. He paused and thought for a moment before shrugging. "You could get two cups out of the cupboard so we can drink while we eat." He finished making the sandwiches and set them on plates and placed them on the dining table.

Leila Leila opened and closed a couple cupboards, quickly finding the cups, and took two. Although James had set the sandwiches on the table, she didn't set down the cups. "What do you want to drink, sir?" she asked. She wouldn't fill her own cup until his was full. It was the way she had been trained.

James Ortiz James glanced over at Leila and in his mind he was sighing, though he kept himself from doing so. He understood what she was doing now, the way she stood and would not move. She was a little stubborn. "I'll get my water later, but what would you like to have? You can have water, juice, or maybe some tea...Whatever you want." With a barely audible grunt he sat down, tapping the table next to the plate he set out for her. "Just sit and enjoy."

Leila Leila went to the sink and poured some water for both of them. She set James's cup in front of him and sat where he'd gestured for her to sit. She picked up her sandwich and took a small bite, then wolfed it down as if she hadn't eaten properly in days, which was true. "Thank you, sir," she mumbled after she'd finished.

James Ortiz James waited for her to sit before he picked up his sandwich. He placed it to his lips, but did not yet take a bite. Instead he simply watched Leila scarf down the sandwich. A solemn expression overcame him before he cast it away. He remembered those days as well. "No need to thank me, you are welcome to the fridge whenever you want. You may have another if you wish." He took a bite of his sandwich finally and chewed slowly, waiting for her response.

Leila Leila sipped from her water and shook her head. "No, one's enough for me." She was actually starting to feel a bit jittery from having no direct orders or tasks assigned to her, but she hid it well.

James Ortiz James finished chewing what was in his mouth and swallowed when she answered. He reached for his drink and chugged it down. "Sorry, always drink a cup of water before I drink anything else." He smiled as he stood up and went to the fridge, taking out a jug of milk, and filling his cup. He placed it back in the fridge before going to sit down at the table. He continued to eat his sandwich with big bites and drinking his milk. "You sure you don't want another one? I'll be putting it away now." He picked up his plate and cup and went to place it in the sink. He turned around and leaned back against the counter, folding his arms across his chest.

Leila Leila shook her head. "No. One's enough." She took her own plate and cup to the sink and faced James. "I'll clean the dishes now if there's nothing else you would like for me to do, Maste--Sir," she said, momentarily forgetting to not call him Master, but catching herself almost instantly.
