Dorothy muttered something unintelligible and stomped gracefully off to the kitchen, returning a minute later with a box of crackers. "They're stale, and your cook was going to throw them away, so it won't be a waste," she said, shoving them into Relena's waiting hands.
Relena beamed. "You're so thoughtful, Dorothy." She crumbled a handful of crackers and began tossing them out the window to the ducks, who responded with enthusistic quacks.
"How you manage to endow duck-feeding with your typical sincerity is beyond me," Dorothy said crossly.
Relena broke a cracker in two and tossed half of it onto the wet grass where a mama duck gobbled it up. "Any good deed," she said, and ate the other half. "The ducks certainly appreciate it."
"If you try to tell me any inspiring anecdotes about little children and starfish, I'll be sick."

"Hah?" Relena said.
"Never mind."
