"Oh, I see." The cheerful expression didn't waver. "It's good that I've explained it, then." And without another word on the subject, Sai went back to finishing his breakfast. There had been many meals when he'd gotten so involved in discussions with other patients that his food had gone cold by the time he'd gotten the chance.

There wasn't all that much of it this morning, so it didn't take long for him to set the plate and fork aside and return hid attention to Cid. "How long have you been here?" he asked, purely for the sake of conversation. He would have been perfectly willing to spend the rest of breakfast in silence, but that wasn't the preference of most.
