Aya was comfortable just sliding into his characteristic silence when the other two filled the space with unnecessary words so much better than he could ever manage. He nodded again at Duo, pondering for a moment what the boy meant, but mostly concentrating on his plate.

Or that was until there was an extra hand reaching toward Aya's plate.

He glanced up at Ken, snorting softly as the carrot ended up between Ken's teeth soon after. If Aya had not been nursing a fresh wound at his shoulder, he might have reached over the table to pay back somehow. As it was, he lowered his gaze back to his plate with a hint of curve upon his lips. Some things would never change, and he found himself grateful for that.

"Maybe they find it practical to feed us well so we can go on night after night," he also found himself saying as he stole a glance at Duo, surprising himself as well. However, it had been a good morning this far. And the hint of a smile upon usually grim line of lips when Aya shifted his gaze back at Ken seemed to say so as well.

"I suppose we offer better entertainment that way." Or there was something in the food what Landel's wanted them to eat. Aya had thought of that, but wouldn't bring it up now. It was a pointless topic after all.
