Seeing Dom place his pieces on his plate carelessly, Rosabelle looked at him as she didn’t really know how to hold a pizza or even how to eat it. She was about to take a bite when he gave her the okay, but stopped when he halted her. Her eyes looked to him as he spoke about a  technique on how to eat the pizza. She tilted her head as she noticed the grease drip onto her other slice as she watched him move and grab a paper towel. Gently grabbing it as she listened to him as she watched him dab the oil off the slice she held and her others. While he explained about raking some of the oil off so it would make her stomach twist of the feeling of something new in her system and make her feel sick.

Watching him instruct her on how to eat the pizza, Rosabelle folded the slice in half and watched him when he showed her. Hearing the crunch of both their crust, Rosabelle looked at her slice as she listened to him talk about how it would be a travesty if the cheese slid of the pizza. Rosabelle watched him take a bite as she then noticed him coax her to try it. She nodded and took a bite of the pizza with the technique he showed her. Her eyes widened as she took the bite and started to chew.

“O-oh my god… its good.” She said softly as she took another bite hungrily as she nearly downed her first slice rather quickly, showing off how she hasn’t ate much when she was in the custody of the biker group. Rosabelle had downed her pepperoni slice rather quickly, so fast that Dominic didn’t even finish his first slice when she started on her second slice.

Dominic puffed out a short chuckle before taking another bite, watching as the small therian began devouring the food. "Like I said, one of the best things on the planet." He continued eating, but watched Rosabelle carefully, his smile turning a bit sad despite. He didn't want to dwell on it or give off that he was thinking about the horrible circumstances she'd been exposed to for a majority of her life. Not to mention the harsh reality of losing his friend.

He drank. Then drank some more. In fact, he downed the beer in a few deep chugs before tossing the can into the nearby trash and reaching for another. The satisfying pop of it opening made him less tense. Drowning the emotions in alcohol and pizza seemed like a viable solution for the time being. At least he had some focus to keep his mind off of it all, so taking care of Rose would be his concern for now. Guard first. Duties always superseded everything else. 

Dom grinned again at Rosabelle while she began wolfing down her next slice. His soft laugh genuine then, but not at all teasing. "Maybe slow down a bit. You might get yourself sick even without the extra grease." They continued eating in comfortable silence for a few minutes before he spoke again. "The people that I work with, they will help you get into the Evermore pack. You'll be able to find friends and a new family with them. When you feel ready, of course. Being with others like us, therianthropes, will help you figure out how to exist in a world where we have to wear one skin while hiding the true nature of another. It can be a little difficult to control at times."

Rosabelle looked at him as she could tell he was watching her when he spoke. She giggled and smiled as she ate her slice of pizza. Her mind was wondering as she ate. After being kidnapped once when she was a baby and then getting kidnapped by a biker group that killed her parents in front of her. Rosabelle just thought more as she closed her eyes, slowly letting all her trauma sink into her brain. Her stomach growled at the smell of the pizza again as she went to down some more. Her ears picked up the sound of the pop from Dominic's can of beer. The scent of it made her wince at the smell, her nose wrinkled as she could remember giving the group beers all the time when they demanded her to do things. 

Her eyes looked at Dominic as she could tell he was drowning his emotions with booze and pizza. Meanwhile when he spoke about her slowing down, Rosabelle nodded and slowed down as she didnt want to get sick. Rosabelle finished off about five or six more slices before he spoke once more about how his friends would help her get into the pack and how she will be able to find friends and have a new family with them.  Her eyes started to tear up as she listened to him talk about how other therianthropes could help her figure out the new world she was in and help her through things. "I-I dont know how to make friends." she siad as she looked at him. "I feel if I make a friend or even join a pack, they will be taken away from me... like my parents." She said softly as she stood up. "Its hard to think that I could possibly live happily here...after the stuff I have seen and have been through...I dont know how to trust anyone. I trust you because you saved me...and Im very grateful for that. But what if the pack doesnt want someone as weak as me?" She asked as she turned and looked at him.
