He smiled timidly, dropping it into the pot with what ones he had been able to salvage. "W-would... y-you like to j-join me? I m-mean... ah... it's n-not very fun to eat alone and... I m-mean it's d-dark out um... I c-could c-catch some beatles- th-those are n-nice and crun-crunchy-"

Natsumi grinned to herself as she managed to get another one... There was a slight joy in catching the little creatures as they tried to excape.. It was a new feeling, but there none the less. She passed it into the bucket as well, giving a glance around in hopes to find a few more stragglers, but then her attention was drawn by Newton's voice.
Her stomach immediatly agreed to the offer, food. Food was good... Her pregnant stomach demanded it. Still, she retained herself, giggling lightly to the beetles bit. "I would love to do that! Beatles, yes? That sounds better than the sticky worms..." She gave a tiny distastful look to the worms, but it only lasted a moment before she seemed to return to her smiling self. The offer of food and companionship at once was enough to get her excited at the moment.

He seemed to become a bit excited, in an exhausted, emotionally constipated, panic-edged sort of way. "I d-don't know about t-taste... b-but the w-worms s-swallow well, but th-the ones w-with sh-shells are e-easier to ch-chew... er... m-more p-pleasant.. I m-mean... I imagine th-that they're c-crisps! Or... or p-peanuts... or... s-something..." He trailed off, getting embarassed again.

Natsumi listened, slightly intrigued... he sure seemed to know his bugs. In a way.. that made her feel better. The fact that she wasn't the only one wanting to eat bugs... But at teh same time, his general attitude was making her slightly nervious. She wasn't used to having to try and take lead, so the thought of messing up when offering things and trying to make him feel more comfortable was in turn making her nervious as well.
With a small gulp, she nodded, "Then... Crunchy is peanuts.. So then the worms would be... noodles, yes?" she smiled, liking the sound of noodles and peanuts much better than worms and beatles.

Newt thought about it, blushing slightly at the thought, "I... I sup-sup-suppose... th-that makes some sort of sence... I hadn't th-thought about it th-that way-" it made him feel a bit better, truthfully. He wasn't exactly fond of the idea of what he was putting into himself either.

Natsumi's smile widened when he agreed to her comparison, before her stomach broke their conversation with a growl to remind her of her original purpous. A single worm wasn't enough to appease it. She blushed at the noise, putting a hand to her stomach... Which was only followed by a newly discovered fluttery feeling. The baby's kick made her eyes move to her stomach for a moment. "Aa..." She took a step foreward, hoping he would take the hint to lead the way to the crunchy bugs.

"Ah- oh! Are... y-you alright?" He straightened as best as he could in his froggish crouch, peering up at her in concern, "Wh-when did you eat l-last?" The fact that the lizard-like woman was pregnant hadn't occured to the custodian still. He was clueless on many complicated levels.

"Yes.. I am fine." she offered a small smile, pausing to think back to when she had last eaten. "I.. ate dinner." she wasn't sure on exact times, but dinner probably had long passed judging by the dark of the island. "I guess I am hungry..." She gave a small, nervious, laugh as she realized she just stated the obvious. Either way.. back to the matter at hand. Actually getting their food. "We are going to go and catch beatles?"

"Ah- h-here," He handed her the bucket of recovered worms, politely, ever the willing servant, "I'll g-get them if you find a pluh-pluh-place to sit!"

Natsumi peered at the bucket, holdind it carefully. Last thing she wanted to do was lose his hard earned worms.. again. "A-Alright..." his stutter was contagious "If it is not too much trouble." She added with a smile, turning around once he confirmed it was fine... She had no idea how to catch beatles anyways, so she was thankful that he had offered.
Now.. to find a seat... she peered around the area, there were duplexes and the the road that went between them. No sign of any seats... She moved along the path some, squinting at the darkness... Aha! Benches. Two of them placed right outside the familair cafeteria entrance. With that found, she moved over to it, first setting the pot atop it then moving to brush away bits of twigs and dirt so they could sit when Newton got back.

It wasn't long befor the janitor came hop-hobbling back in his funny broom-handle-utilizing gate, his cheaks swollen with something that seemed to squirm inside, "Mnnnn!!"

There. She smiled at the now as clean as possible bench seats, dusting her hands off, only to notice Newt hobbling over. What perfect timeing. She smiled at first seeing him, giving a tiny wave to make sure he had seen where she had moved to. Then she noticed the full mouth... It took her the breifest of moments to catch on, before she started fumbling around grabbing the pot and hurring to meet him halfway, "Here." She held the pot out to his face for him to spit the assumed beatles into. The idea of a mouth full of live insects was beyond disturbing... And in a wierd way, it was nice of him to endure such a thing just to bring them back to share.

His face was pale and sweating, his nervious trembling seeming to have increased horribly. He was fairly horrified by the situation as well, but kept as quiet and polite as possible. How else could he have transported them for her? He gagged as they squirmed uncomfortably, befor spitting them into the pot with their previous catches, gasping for air and gave a terrified shudder.

Natsumi flinched at the sight of him spitting beatles into a pot of wiggling worms... No, no. "Peanuts and noodles." She reminded him, though it was mostly for herself. He looked uncomfrotable, it was obvious, so knowlagably she turned towards the table. "I found a place to sit!" she stated cheerily, moving towards it. "See?"

He panted, still looking naucious even as he hopped over to sit across from her, "Ah... ah... N-noodles and... and puh-peanuts...." He managed. One had remained stuck to his gooey tongue, and his jaws clenched down on it with a crunch.
