The following day, Sadde goes to town at a reasonable time to buy a tiny cactus with some of the proceeds from his terribly tedious job, and sneaks it into the bag with his clothing he brings to Isabella's room. It is inside a cute little box, which he offers Isabella the following morning when she wakes up, saying, "Happy three-month anniversary!"

"There's still the regular human's two thousand calories."

"I don't count calories, I don't know how much that is."

[msmage]

"Yeah, me neither," she sighs.

[alicornucopia]

Shrug.

"'S long as you're not feeling bad," she says, and gets to eating her own food.

[alicornucopia]

"Enh."

Forkful of mashed potatoes, looked at dubiously, eaten.

[msmage]

"Enh?"

[alicornucopia]

"I don't feel hungry," he says. "Which is probably what you meant."

[msmage]

"No, not exactly. You can not feel hungry but feel weak from lack of food because bodies aren't built well enough to prevent this kind of inconsistency."

[alicornucopia]

"I'm not dizzy or anything."

[msmage]

"Okay." Pause. "Are you anything else?"

[alicornucopia]

"...what do you mean am I anything else?"

[msmage]

"Like, are you feeling any other bad things or stuff."

[alicornucopia]

Shrug.

[msmage]

"Okay."

Om nom food.

[alicornucopia]

Eventually Jackson wanders off, presumably to class.

[msmage]

And eventually so does Sadde.
