Title: He'll feed anything
Rating: G
Prompt: Food
Summary: There's no way that Goodwin and Tunstall aren't going to notice an extra person in the room.
A/N: Inspired by the parts in Terrier where Beka says she snuck into the room at Provost's House when Goodwin and Tunstall were having dinner with Lord Gershom, and where Goodwin says Tunstall will feed anything. I'm thinking of Beka as being about 10 here.
................................................
Beka couldn’t believe her luck. Right now, she was only a few feet away from the two best Dogs in all of Corus. They didn’t know she was there, of course. She reminded herself to stay very, very quiet and still behind the curtain which hid her. Tough Dogs like Corporal Guardswoman Goodwin and Senior Guardsman Tunstall would not be happy at all if they found out they were being spied on. Even if all they were doing was having dinner with the Lord Provost.
She heard the clatter of a chair being pushed back. “Do either of you mind if I open a window?” That wasn’t Lord Gershom’s voice, it must be Senior Guardsman Tunstall. She drew herself back against the wall in horror as she heard the other two voices give their consent. The sound of footsteps drew closer and closer to the window right beside her, and she held her breath. She’d be a disgrace to Lord Gershom if she was discovered, and she didn’t want to cause distress to her sick mother.
“It’s a nice evening out there,” the tall Dog remarked. “I can see most of Corus from here, too.”
Relieved, she let her breath out again as she heard him moving back to the table. The woman laughed and murmured something, and Beka was sure that her danger was over. Cautiously, she peeked around the edge of the curtain, and saw them all enjoying their meal again. Something caught her eye, and she grinned. There was a bread roll sitting on the windowsill that hadn’t been there before. It had been ripped open and stuffed with some meat and a couple of the little sweets she’d seen sitting on the table before they had arrived.
Maybe, she thought as she bit into it, Dogs aren’t so scary all the time after all.

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
