Before he had come to the Coalition, he had eaten nothing but rotting - most of the time already rotten - meats and if he really needed to just to keep something in his stomach, the lion cub would munch on flowers and various other plants that he knew wouldn't hurt him, which hadn't been much. When he had finally experienced only fresh foods for the first time he had kept to them for about a month before deciding to venture out and try other things, and for the first time when he had eaten the peanut butter, something had stuck to the roof of his mouth. It had made him feel uneasy and helpless, and he hadn't liked that thought, so a soft whimper had come from his mouth and on instinct a tear or two had fallen as well. He hadn't wanted to cry, hadn't thought it had upset him, but it seemed as though many thought that it had. He didn't really mind though, considering no one really said anything to his face, so he didn't even know.
He was, in fact, home and inside when Arvid had come forth, the smell of the sweetened food reaching his nose. Ruven didn't understand science or anything similar to it, too inexperienced in the learning process of things considering the lack of home before, but it did interest him to some point. He'd liked watching the experiment that Arvid had done before with the weird jelly worm things, but he couldn't retain the information that had been told to those that had gathered at the time. All he could really remember was that it was some sort of food made out of fruit juice, and it had been good. It had made him want to try new things and it seemed as though Arvid had retained that information. "Hello!" The cub would speak as he made his way over towards the canine, smile on his maw as he opened the door.
Taking a small step back from the doorway, he would move out of the way to let the other in, tail sweeping behind him for a moment before he would soon shut the door once more, trying to make sure he had the proper manners for a guest in the house. "I'm happy you came here Arvid! It's weird being in a house now, but it's also nice? Have you ever had one before?" Thoughts of the food slipped his mind for a moment then, but they'd likely come back to them soon enough.
