And for about half an hour, she didn't. When she finally did come back, she was carrying an armful of fruits she had found growing at the bottom of the cliffs. "Hope you're hungry."

Cinnamon had been just about to give up, and was just testing her leg to see of she could stand. She stepped back and fell, startled. "You... came back" she whispered, awed. "Yep, total lack of gray matter," her mouth said, taking over again.

"Why do you keep pretending to care?" her mouth sneered against her will. "What do you think you'll stand to gain from it?"

"I don't pretend," she answered, setting the fruit down. "You should eat, you need your strength to heal."

She nodded, fighting to keep silent as she made her way over to the food.

"Help yourself," she coaxed, smiling slightly. She picked up an apple to munch on herself

She sat, favoring the bad leg and began eating, hoping that if she kept her mouth busy that she wouldn't be able to say the wrong thing.

She eats in silence for a thoughtful moment before saying, "You know, part of being friends is knowing that you can be yourself. Or at least relax and not worried about saying the wrong thing."

Luna smiles gently and tucks Sugar's hair behind her ear. "If I go anywhere, it will be because life took us down two diffrent paths, temporarily. We are friends, and I do not use that word lightly, nor do I abandon my friends."

"That is true, and most friendships don't begin so quickly," she admitted. "Time is needed to build trust, and affection. However... when someone needs me, I can't help but feel protective toward them. And I feel that you, Sugar, need me. Once that's in place... well, to me, it's a tie that will never be broken. The only deeper bond is that of family." Of which she had none. She was alone in the world despite all those she tried to help.
