Maia wrinkled her nose immediately. "Still don't see the appeal," she said, and kissed Toby's cheek. "Sushi sounds good."
Luca looked up. "They serve eel?" He asked, interestedly.

"It's still just a long fish!" Toby laughed, and then turned to Luca. "Yeah, of course. At least where we go they do. I think it's pretty common. Eel and avocado is a big thing. It's actually really good. It doesn't even taste fishy."

"I don't like really long fish," Maia pointed out. She grinned at Toby. "I never liked regular fish, except from a restaurant. But no one can make eel taste good."
"I'll try it," Luca offered.

"You haven't tried it!"
Lori nudged Toby with his foot. Leave the poor girl alone.
"Alright, come on. Sushi it is," Toby said. He held his hand out for Maia to help her get up. "Good. Brave man. If I didn't tell you what it was, you'd never know!"

Maia took Toby's hand and stood, smiling at him. She wasn't going to try it, either. "Except he'll try to make you eat suspicious looking meat," she offered, looking to Luca.
Luca smirked and took Lori's hand. "Let's try more of those dragon rolls," he said.

"I guess it does look like of strange," Toby admitted.
Lori head-locked Luca and kissed his head, then released him.
"So what does everyone think, huh?" Lori asked, "You all still in?"

On a night Dari had warned Cody that he'd be working over night, he dialed up Toby. Dari had said motto contact the werewolf; actually, his exact words were "don't you dare". But Cody couldn't not. Not after learning how it felt, believing your loved one was going to die. He couldn't let Dari go through that. "Toby?" He asked. "Are you busy?"

"Huh?" Toby asked. He tucked the phone between his ear and shoulder as he crouched to give Peaches his food bowl. The cat could be heard smacking almost immediately. "Yeah, I'm not doing anything. Dari had to stay overnight, though."

"I know," he said. "I want to talk to you. Dari didn't want me to talk to you about it, but he's been awfully upset because of me. ...And I need to figure out how to become immortal."

"No. Uh-uh." He knew what Cody was thinking. He wasn't about to delve into what he had done to his junk to avoid cursing anyone else. That wasn't really Cody's business. "When he signed up to date you, he knew what he was getting into. He'll get over it."

"Toby, no, listen. He's been upset for days. He wouldn't tell me what was wrong for the longest time, but he finally did. And then..." He hesitated. "I don't think I could do that to him. Make him feel the way I did when I saw him with that knife. Can I come over?"

"Wait, wait, hold on. What knife?" Toby hadn't been told about the incident with the purging. He had only known that Dari was in a terrible mood and was getting better. He hadn't been told why, either, but he knew that waiting it out was sometimes best.

"I thought he was going to kill himself," Cody fretted. "But he said he was fine and he seemed fine but I'm still worried--" he babbled. "I couldn't do anything. I can't leave him. I can't."

"Slow down. What the hell are you talking about?" Toby asked. He stood straight and readjusted the phone, now holding it in his hand again.

Forget it. "I'm coming over," Cpdy said, and hung up. He stood and found his shoes, put them on and headed out the door.
Fifteen minutes later he was outside Toby's door. He knocked.
