Xander and Emily shared a look, before their eyes darted to Keir who was looking at Delaney with an unreadable expression. Keir didn't allow his eyes to wander like their previous encounters but that didn't mean he didn't want to. He was curious to see her without her usual clothes but he managed to restrain himself.

This time she was served potatoes, meat that was well cooked, unlike the others, and a peeled and sliced apple. Her face didn't show any reaction but she picked up her cutleries and started eating quietly like the rest.
