That's it.

[ Sound of some lunch getting thrown on the floor ]

I'm not taking another bite of this slop. I want better food, and I swear I'll starve until I get it.

Rhode. You need to eat.

[petitnoire]

I don't like it, and I don't want to.

[insertbadtouchy]

And sometimes we have to do things we don't like.

Eat it, Rhode. I won't ask you twice.

[petitnoire]

I can't stand it.

[insertbadtouchy]

Rhode.

1/2

[petitnoire]

[ A heavy sigh ]

[petitnoire]

My hand hurts. If you look at it, I might.

[insertbadtouchy]

Is it bleeding, dear? Have you unwrapped the bandages?

[petitnoire]

No! Well, not really--

Just a little.

[insertbadtouchy]

Then wrap them back up and eat your meals.

I'm quite busy around here, Rhode. I don't have time to cater to your whims. It's time for you to grow up, I believe.

[petitnoire]

It's not a whim, daddy. It's something you'll like, I promise.

[insertbadtouchy]

You're refusing to eat. That's a whim.

[petitnoire]

No, that's what you get for us having a good cook at home.

If you come see me, I have a story for you, and I know you'll want to hear it. ♥

[insertbadtouchy]

And is there a reason you cannot tell me now? I told you. I'm extremely busy. With so many staff members leaving, it has left us a bit tight on help. I don't have time to just drop by on a child's whim, even if that child is my daughter.

[petitnoire]

Yes, because the Earl's friends could hear. Besides. You'll be busier if you don't.

[insertbadtouchy]

You'll have to make it quick.

If I do stop by though, you'll have to promise me that you'll eat.
