A maid quietly shakes her head-

We can't- its the things the Princess isn't allowed to have...

[emptyself]

Oh. So sorry. Do you need help?

[ she gets a quick bow. ]

Um… is there a reason that she can’t have… whatever is behind there?

[beathollow]

They're not healthy! Too much sugar, or fat. Nothing the Queen doesn't approve of is welcome at this table.

[emptyself]

I see. That sure is the case with a lot of food in the city.

[ he nods, as if the logic made sense to him. ]

Um… what does the queen approve of?

[beathollow]

A good homecooked meal, of course. Mothers know best when it comes to providing a healthy meal for a growing child.

[emptyself]

[ no, he doesn’t know what a mother knows best, nor does he know what is best for a growing child, considering he had to find his own food.

but he does know that the elders know best, so this echoes eerily. ]

I see. Maybe it would be best to not have it, then. Thank you for explaining.

[beathollow]

... Thank you for listening. Please, help yourself to anything else.

It will just be cold and flavorless and without any love or joy.
