"Not spicy." He would try and speak through the bite of the sandwich he had taken, tongue flicking out of his mouth over and over again as the child tried to get the sticky thing off the roof of his mouth.
Eyes looking over to the others that had arrived, he would nod his head in response to Anthem at first, "Yeah." Was all he managed to get out before he was occupied with the peanut butter once more, ears flicking upwards at the sound of his best friend and mother there, Ruven blinking in shock for a moment as Sojourn had aimed for Aphra before coming towards him, pushing his sandwich away. He looked over towards Angel as he put his paws on his shoulders and, finally, at last, Ruven's mouth was free, and he let out a satisfied sniff of air as he swallowed the bit of sandwich he had. "I was told it was called a sandwich? It had, uh, peanut butter in it and it got stuck, but I got it all, so it's ok." He would speak to those around him, those that had cared about his wellbeing. "It was good, but I don't want it stuck again..." He took the back of his paw and wiped his eyes with it, staring for a moment as they came back wet. He hadn't realized he was crying until it had been mentioned, just something that had happened he guess.
