Between getting attacked at the hospital - although I literally just laid in bed and did nothing - and all the driving around, I was quite exhausted and was looking forward to getting a good night's rest, but the rumbling sound of Miho's stomach dictated that I'd had to postpone that plan a little.
"Old man, is there anything we can eat?"
I came out of Miho's room and asked Shin, who sat on an armchair in the living room smoking a cigarette and reading a book.
"You are hungry?"
He said without looking up.
"Miho is. She says she can't - and WON'T sleep until she gets something to eat."
"Tell her it's a bad habit to at this time. It's past midnight now."
"Heartless!" Miho jumped out from behind me and pointed at Shin.
When did she follow me? I thought she was waiting in her room for the good news. She really had feline footsteps when she wanted.
"Bad eating habits will make you gain weight, unfit, and slow."
