[The Gradral Household]
Cutlery clinked on plates and pitchers hit the glass rim. Everyone ate in silence.
Reynard peeked over at his father who was picking at the peas in his plates. Reynard remembered very well how much his father liked peas, but today, he looked upon them with no appetite. It was likewise for Rosa.
She sat staring emptily at her untouched food. Reynard looked at his own plate and realized he was the only one who ate at all. It was a weird thing. When other people were nervous or in grief, they either ate very less or didn't eat at all. Reynard, on the other hand, built up an appetite when he was anxious.
