Ben looked at Ellie, feeling a bit like a dweeb at her expression. He assumed she was trying to hide her laughter, but he could tell that she was amused at his ability to hurt himself. And indeed, his toe was still aching, firy hot pain raging through the limb he usually forgot that he had.
"Yeah, please, cookie," he told the strange old lady, hopping a few steps over to her and taking a cookie. They were still warm, and as he stuffed it in his mouth, he savoured the taste, deciding that he hadn't eaten anything as good in a long while. He tentatively placed weight on the side of his foot, the one without an injured toe, and found that the rest of his foot seemed to be fine. He hobbled back over to Ellie and plopped himself down onto the ground, pulling off his dusty sneaker so that he could examine the damage. His socks were a little smelly, so he glanced guiltily at Ellie, hoping she wouldn't notice, and then to Tanya, who would probably throw a complete hissy fit if she thought anything was going awry.
His little toe didn't look too bad, although the top had a nasty cut, but Ben decided that the bone was slightly off kilter, and he moaned. "My toe is broken! Whatever am I going to do?!"
