Flexibility of a plan

Hecathe was a bit surprised by the suddenness of this question but he eventually had a small satisfied smirk on his face as he quite liked her response. 

"I never knew I would be saying this but you're a smart kid," Hecathe chuckled as he complimented the girl and the girl nodded her head as she readily accepted the compliment. 

"I've been told that a lot." 

"..." 

Before Hecathe could say anything more, the food came and the girl carefully tucked the white envelop away as she got ready to eat. 

As expected, it seemed that it had been a long time since the girl had a decent meal and this was probably the reason why she looked to be so thin. 

"Thank you for the food, Sir!" The girl beamed as she didn't bother being reserved in front of Hecathe and ate the food without caring about table manners. 

Hecathe chuckled as he saw this and responded, "Eat to your heart's content."
