Aneril’s eye twitched as she watched Vareysa fiddle with the orange in her hands. First she prodded at the green stem with her thumb, then changed her mind and dug her nail into the middle of the orange. Only a bit of rind popped out despite her efforts, so Vareysa made a face and reached for her dagger-
“Oh, just hand it over!” Aneril snatched the orange from Vareysa, and dug into the rind around the stem. “It’s like you’ve never seen an orange before,” she groused, peeling the rind off with ease.
“Well, I have. Just never eaten one before,” Vareysa replied, lips curved just slightly. “We don’t have oranges in Morrowind, you know.”
“Obviously.” Aneril pushed the tiger cub’s head away with her foot, when he tried to nibble at the rinds she’d thrown to the grass. “No, cubby. This is not for you.” When the tiger growled in complaint, she planted a leg in front of him, so he couldn’t reach the rinds himself.
Ignoring the light dig of claws into her pants, Aneril finished peeling the orange and handed it to Vareysa - who opened her mouth. Aneril cocked a brow, then shoved the entire orange into her waiting mouth, getting a muffled gasp in surprise.
“Feed yourself, you baby.”
Vareysa snorted, taking the orange and peeling off a slice, which she dropped into Aneril’s mouth. “Why feed myself when I have such a handy little helper with me?”
