“When was the last time you had a meal like this?” she asked. He thought about this for a while “Hmm… Maybe a couple of weeks ago? I don’t know. I usually just don’t spend that much money on food.”.

Then she started talking about all those potential reasons why a girl from a noble family would run away like Miss Hibiscus had done. “I really have no idea, though I’ve heard rumours about her having some sort of affair with a guy here from Dalen. Maybe she’s run off to be with him? Though she would have to be pretty desperate to travel all this way all alone. I just have to hope that she’s still alive otherwise I won’t get payed.” He said, not at all trying to hide that he didn’t care about the reason, but only did this because of the money.

He observed her while she ate, wondering what her problem with the food was. In his opinion it had been amazing, but her expression revealed that she definitely wasn’t of the same view. “Is that all you are going to eat?” he looked at her in disbelief “You can’t be serious. Even a mouse could have eaten more than that. It’s not polite not to eat what’s being served, you know?”. The last part he added a little teasingly, because of her otherwise very polite and well-mannered way of acting.
