Private Finished Time went by.

Eli bent down and Sweet Lime took the hint and moved smoothly over to the bench with a small plopping sound of what most would attribute to jello hitting the floor. Sweet did see all the food they were bringing out, the slime didn't quite understand why. Though as Eli said that Lime speaking was a good thing it made Sweet Lime shiver a little bit in happiness.

Looking over the food Lime looked between Eli and said food expectantly. "F-for... m-m-me?" The slime didn't know what to do, this much food hadn't been given to her before. Thought something was sticking to the slime's mind and they turned to look at Eli again. "Why... why e-eli dif... different?"

The slime was about to ask what a 'birthday' was but Eli hushed them and said they'd be right back, however the slime not being one for patience... or moderation really. Moved over the food presented to them picking up everything and immediately began trying to break it all down. The non-organic stuff would take much longer but the organic bits of food a bit faster, turning it into mass and storing it in their body.

The large excess of food easily covering what she had been burning throughout the day and they began to rapidly grow. As they grew their mind developed a bit further and they put two and two together for the first time and if they knew what a face palm was they would have used it right then. But they stayed on the table and looked around the room with a better understanding of things. Or at least her mind was developed more than the equivalent of a cat when it came to object permanence. Eli had a charm that turned them from one form to the other and they had been doing that in front of her this entire time. It explained a lot.

As for the room itself the Slime realized that it was one room in a building and there weren't multiples of the same room from different perspectives making the area bigger. This understanding was quite world breaking for the naive slime. Trying to speak up this time from the table Sweet Lime jiggled a little in guilt. "Lime s-sorry for attack e-eli."

Eli came out of the room again this time in a dress, Lime liked the color. But Eli also said that they loved her. It caused the slime to stop jiggling. The word took a moment to process but when Sweet Lime understood it more fully she did the equivalent of a blush and pulled herself into a smaller ball of slime. When Eli tried to kiss her they pushed a little to far through Lime's slightly less solid 'skin' and kissed a bit of food floating inside.

The texture probably felt weird and their lips would probably tingle from the acidic slime coating them. Though it would still taste very citric. Without Sweet Lime actively making the slime on Eli's lips more acidic it wouldn't be dangerous. As for Sweet Lime they were a bit stunned and they tried to simply look around the room nonchalantly. Like what Eli was doing wasn't not nice. Eli was such a nice and fun person, Sweet Lime was glad they followed them here... but she didn't know if expressing those feelings were appropriate for her to be having.

Sweet Lime didn't know how she felt about Eli not kissing her again. But it was probably okay... maybe. Lime was conflicted about the whole thing. When Eli motioned to follow Lime did indeed follow. As Eli sat down Lime moved to ball up next to them. When they asked Lime about school she looked up tilting their 'head' a little in curiosity. "What is s-school? Will t-there b-be people?"

Lime curled up more a little scared of the thought of more people around. "I... I don't think I-I'd l-like that." Quivering a little and pressing them self closer to Eli worried at what other people would do to her.

"I d-don't t-think that I w-would like that." Sweet Lime shivered again and curled up into a ball of slime, more solid before. The food they were digesting was almost gone now. Eventually Sweet Lime moved into Eli's lap and went quite for a bit thinking. "I... I would n-not m-m-mind s-spending more time... with y-you E-Eli." The ball of slime quivered a little after saying that. Sweet Lime did find that they much preferred Eli's company to any other.
