For a while Aivena just silently studied me in the same manner I studied her, except that instead of suspicion, her eyes were full of contemplation. Finally, she pulled the bowl with her "sample" she wanted out of my cage and into her lab to do heinous things with it. Somehow, I felt like I passed some sort of test.
That didn't last long, though, before Aivena left the laboratory and teleported elsewhere. I was left alone and without explanations again. The next time I saw her was several hours later. She had a parcel in her hands, from which came a mouth-watering smell of fresh baking goods and cooked meat.
"Devourer. Your good behaviour lately deserves a reward. It's good to know that you realise that even though you won't escape, complying with my commands can only do you good. These are yours." Aivena threw the parcel through the bars of my cage.
