Do... do you think that would work? Throwing some food out for me? I-I don't want you to get into trouble, and if something goes wrong, I could... [I could die. He mouths the words, too scared to actually say them.
But. Still. Simon tilts his head and eyes the cafeteria again, then Hershel, then the cafeteria again. Hershel's really, really cool. Not many people would offer to help him like this.]
Would you... would you really do something like that? For me?
