Luca joined Jiru by his side, lying back at the wagon for a moment. "I earned that money, you know!"

He began to ponder what to eat. Meat, soup, bread... perhaps a buffet would only suffice for the best of times. There was a shop nearby that sold mouth-watering meat pies of every variety, even if he believed that cats were sometimes used for filling when they ran out of other sources. Another shop sold great soup dishes, though there were occasional rumours of human bones being used for soup stock.

They needed to get better shops around here, or less gossiping hens.
