“Oh, come on!” Sebastian exclaimed, rolling his eyes as he gestured at the measly plate of food that had been slid into his cell from under the bars. “All you’re giving me is a piece of gross jerky and a hard-boiled egg? This is less than half we got yesterday!” He continued to complain. The guard let out an exhausted huff as he turned and slid the other food tray into the woman’s cell across from him. She stared silently at the two small pieces of bread and singular slice of cheese. The food wasn’t just terrible, it was also way too small a portion size for her body-building routine.

“New orders! Neither of you eats a full meal until we start learning the truth,” The young guard said sternly. The woman continued staring stoically at her tray, not even bothering to look up at the smarmy guard that looked down at her.

“Figure with those stupid muscles that you probably need it more than I do,” Sebastian said with a shrug. She worked diligently to form a small sandwich with all the ingredients they had at their disposal. She shook her head and groaned.

“Oh, ancestors help me, the man’s falling in love with me…” The woman said, letting out a sigh. Sebastian, who was too impatient to make any sort of sandwich out of his ingredients and had a mouth full of jerky, let out a hardy laugh.

“You could only be so lucky!” He snorted, chewing wildly as his mouth reminded him of his forgotten hunger. He usually was pretty good at distracting himself from his growling stomach.
