You needed a taste tester and he wanted a free meal. It was a one-time thing, and Ruggie enjoyed having a full meal for once. Until you offered again. Okay, a little suspicious, but free food is free food. And then... again?

Ruggie became a regular at your dorm, sitting on the counters while you finished and started meals, leaving plates on his lap every now and then. If you weren't so focused, you could see his tiny tail wagging. Was it suspicious? Duh. But who was he to complain? He even offered to help and you refused! Ruggie was living the dream.

It was late, but Savanclaw wouldn't exactly miss him for a few hours. "Man, I haven't eaten this well in... pff never," He grinned, chewing on a random toothpick. "Don'tcha ever get tired of cooking for me all the time?"

WAIT. Why is he asking?! If you realise you ARE tired then he won't have any ~~reason to hang out with you~~ free food. "I mean- Crap. You're a good chef, great even!" Nice save, dumbass.
