But, at least he was willing to listen. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of a shake-, or, in this case, to take away the chicken. Not that there wasn't plenty more...but still. Nodding again, Willow got back to it, a little more gently this time. She didn't want the kid to use his spit powers on her again.

"Here's the thing," she said. "I know you may not understand the damage you are doing right now, but that's okay. I'm here to educate you." Willow smiled sweetly, feeling good about herself for performing such good deeds in society. "See, in order to have the meat you're currently eating, it means the death of poor, innocent creatures. Creatures with families and homes and lives." She rested a gentle hand on his shoulder, trying to break the news gently to the kid. "I'm sure you must not have realize, but....every time you consume meat, and all meat, not just chicken, you're just fueling the system. I'm sorry, Blondie. I...I know it's hard to hear. But indirectly you're advocating this capitalist and brutal murder market, and you deserve to know."

Now that he seemed to be listening, Willow was sure she could get through to him. Maybe her earlier approach wan't the most advisable, but she was just shocked, that's all. But then, the kid didn't know what he was doing. Poor thing would probably be revolted himself once he realized. Breaking eye contact briefly, Willow reached into her bag and pulled out a bright green flier. On the cover was many trees, animals, and people all holding hands, smiling in blissful unity. Some information on the Vegan, Vegetarian, and Nature Loving Society was written around the flier, including ways to change one's diet to a kill-free, veggie diet. Willow smiled again as she handed Blondie the flier.

She squeezed his shoulder, eyes suddenly serious, voice pitched low and fervent. "I know you'll do the right thing."


She was holding his poor chicken leg hostage. Wasn't that damage too? He may be doing damage to society, but SHE'S doing damage to HIS society. His society of hunger. Isn't that bad too? And now she was smiling. Normally smiling meant happiness and good things. But this was a little bit creeeeeeeepy. Zander lifted an eyebrow in slight confusion. What was going on? Was this an intervention? Because he didn't ask for any of this. He just wanted to eat, okay?

"The chicken wasn't alive when I started eating it.... So how would me not eating it help in any way at all?" SEE? Zander had no part in this whole world-market-of-evil nonsense. All he did was help keep the chicken leg from going to waste. "You see some people aren't fortunate enough to get this food, so technically I'm doing a goodness to the world by eating it so that it doesn't go to waste, right?" he said while eying his chicken leg that this loon still had possession of.

BLONDIE!? "The name's Zander, not Blondie," he was even being civil and held out his hand for a handshake. So what, if it was still covered in sauce? No biggie. Thought that counts, right? "Oh, thanks!" He said as she handed him the pamphlet. How'd she know that he needed a napkin. Wiping the sauce on to the handout, Zander held his, now clean, hand out once again. There, this would make for a much cleaner handshake.

'I know you'll do the right thing' ?? Yeah this definitely sounded like an intervention. "So are you saying that you want me to protest the Hogwarts chicken legs?" Was that what she was getting at?
