As they were left alone, Sarah walked over to Jhonny with the plate of food in hand.
"I was serious. These are safe for consumption. You should eat. With your body constantly growing like it is, it's a surprise you haven't collapsed already," she said, shoving the food in his hands.
"What about you?" he asked.
"I'll be fine on nutritional jellies. I brought a few with me from the ships' stocks. Eat the food. There are more protein and vitamins in what he brought than the jellies, and you need them."
Jhonny hesitated, his hunger pitted against his concern for Sarah. He could see in her eyes that she wanted some of the food, and it made his decision even harder.
"How about this? Give me a jelly as well, and we can split the food between the two of us," Jhonny offered.
Sarah smiled at him, but kept pushing the plate onto his lap.
