"THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR GRACIOUSNESS!"
The eleven Awakened who ate his food saw themselves out almost as soon as they were done. This was the most elaborate dine-and-dash Emery had ever seen. They even pulled out the classic "We will never forget this,"
Earlier he had been hoping for some returning customer or the other, but now that seemed like nothing but a pipe dream.
'Whatever. Some of them should end up coming back regardless,'
Actually, he had a decent, albeit naïve, theory for why they left so suddenly—the sudden energy boosts.
Those who didn't know what energy was would only be able to identify that their power had spiked suddenly, but would not be able to identify where that spike came from properly.
Emery, however, knew exactly what that boost was.
