What if I add a liberal amount of sugar to it?

[Somehow Poland's getting the sense he doesn't actually have a choice in the matter.]

F...fine.

[She lets him get used to the taste of the soup, mixing sugar into the tea wordlessly. The worst of her fever had yet to break, but she's yet to get through the cotton headed phase.

This time, she holds the cup to his lips more gently, not forcing it down his throat. She only keeps her hands on it to steady it.]

[Poland's tongue flicks out at the tea, and he pulls a face. Tea.

But he takes a sip anyways.]

[It will at least settle his stomach come on.]

You should feel lucky. We don't even have half of the food in the mansion back where I'm from.

[Poland's no stranger to roughing it. But that was a long long long time ago. At least as far as he can remember anyways.]

...seriously?

[Fine he'll take another sip.]

Hmmm. [She starts slicing the bread, next, doing it with ease as if slicing things up is something she's done all her life.]

Until I enlisted, we lived on one loaf of bread each, a day. I can't remember much of my training days, but it was mostly bread and potatoes for trainees. [She remembers being on kitchen duty a lot, but not those she's spent it with.]

[Poland looks at the bread uneasily. Liquids were one thing, but bread might be pushing it.]

...is the place you're from poor or something?

[What if she coats it generously in jam? What then?]

More or less. Humanity's lost most of its cultivated lands since we all live in walled areas now, so resources are low. Refugees received the lowest portions.
