Aw dude I thought you outgrew that…”
Absinthe looks up with wide eyes, his teeth clamped down on the thick piece of wood. For the briefest of moments time stands still as the two of you lock eyes, but soon enough the cycle is broken and he bolts for the door. He lurches forward, going down on all floors as he runs away with the giant chunk of wood. You try to call after him but it's no use. He's gone, chewing on a random piece of wood. You really hope it's not from something important…you really thought he'd outgrown that.
Giggle sits there with the cord in her mouth, gently chewing on the rubber, but not biting all the way through. You were at least half right. She didn't bite through them all the way anymore but she certainly still loved too chew on them, though why she did it you couldn't fathom. It was completely unsanitary. Still she looks up at you and for a moment you can still see her contemplate shoving the entire headphone cord inside of her mouth before she slowly spits it out. Her eyes lock with yours and she seems to huff a little bit before looking back at the computer screen. You're pretty sure that the moment you're out the door she'll do it again.
