The young boy, Lori Kanh, of the Kanh tribe, approached Zach when evening came around. This time, he carried two bowls of gruel, one for Zach and one for Nora. He was not as scared as last time and even dared to ask why only Zach and Nora ate and not any of the other maids.
He was intrigued by the answer that familiars, especially strong ones, weren't as bound by food as humans were. And if they wanted to eat, they wanted to eat the best and most delicious food. Naturally, they weren't interested in the gruel.
Still, Zach made sure to clarify that he was grateful for the food they were receiving. It wasn't much, and it was simple, but it was better than nothing. They were prisoners and from one of the Sesha's greatest enemies, the Evandiel family. It would have been understandable if the barbarians' starved them.
