Alone with her niece and Tara, Mina ate half of each dish before even putting one drop to Lady's lips. Fortunately, she was not a fussy baby and did not cry, even though she should have been hungry. Tara continuously tried to assure Mina that the food was genuinely prepared with care and not tampered with, however, she could not blame the woman for being weary. In the past, Mina had been poisoned by the very kitchen she was now trusting to prepare a meal for her niece who had not even taken her first steps yet.
