Shuko probably would have forgotten all about dinner and sat there watching Nala reading to Rosy all night had he not heard Cookie's loud knock on the door. "I gots you some dinner," she said, bustling into the room carrying a large tray with food enough for five grown men.
Staring at the food in shock, Shuko was barely able to choke out the words he was saying. "Cookie, how on earth did you come by so much food? You know that master will skin both of us alive if he finds out we took all that food! He's sure to notice that it's missing, isn't he?"
Cookie simply shook her head. "Don't fret, laddy. It's not his food, it's me sister's." When Shuko stared at her in confusion, she sighed and began to explain further. "Me sister went to a wedding today. They had too much food left over, and since she had prevented some sort of minor catastrophe right before the wedding began, they gave all of it to her as thanks. She ate as much as she could, but she's always had the appetite of a bird, poor dear. So she came and brought the food to me. But if you don't want it I can always take it back down."
Shuko shook his head. "Now, now, Cookie. You know us better than that. We never turn down food." He winked at the older lady and then took the tray. "Thank you so much."
