Valerie stood up and smiled, "It's okay big brother. I already ate some bread from last night. I am not hungry."
Valerian squinted and said, "That bread was being stored for a week, Vali. What if you fall sick?"
The girl stuck out her tongue. Both the young and old did not want to trouble each other, and thus they would do their best to get by. Valerian would fulfill all his duties as a guardian, and Valerie would try to avoid disturbing the young man with her demands. She was a growing child, and her diet was not consistent.
