'A grade three vita core, a vita ranked weapon and… a grade two vial of Vitaeon.'
The rewards made Malakai feel as though he had just eaten a full meal, even though he was currently starving.
'I wonder when he'll be done cookin–'
Malakai shook his head, catching himself.
'Did I just…?'
Somehow, Renlo's cooking had just flashed through his mind. The steamy and tasty soup, the well cooked and seasoned steak, even down to his bread, and somehow, he found his mouth watering.
'What's wrong with me?' Malakai wondered. Why was he craving the boy's food so much?
"Isn't it obvious? You love it!" Valentine looked at him with a smile far too wide for his liking.
"That can't be it." Malakai shook his head. It was simply food. Why would he feel such a pull toward it?
"Oh, Malakai, now you're making me feel bad for you. So many years of eating crap must have dulled your taste buds."
Valentine looked at Malakai with a gaze full of pity. Like he was staring at a lost puppy.
