Elias left the room to continue digging into their enemy. He crossed paths with Linera, delivering breakfast to the room. Her cheek was swollen and bright red. He was reminded of the slap she had received from her father, and the force that had been used. The old man had truly not held back.
Linera ignored the stare, rushing into the room as if the patient was starving. As soon as she delivered breakfast, Mrs. Miller took it from her. She sat as close to Sienna as she could get, spooning porridge into her daughter's mouth as if she was a toddler again. She even blew on it, and said 'ah...' encouraging Sienna to open her mouth.
Sienna. half amused and half embarrassed, let herself be fed, patting the sleeping cubs curled up beside her.
The fox guards stationed in the room stood with stiff backs and sharper eyes than usual, pretending not to notice the domestic scene, though one of them coughed suspiciously when Mrs. Miller scolded Sienna for chewing too fast.
