Settling into the chair, Luke let out a quiet sigh as he reached for the plate left aside for him. Bread, eggs, and a bit of dried meat—simple, but after everything, it was enough to satisfy his hunger. He picked up a piece of bread, tearing it apart as Sister Maria, wiping her hands on her apron, sat across from him.
"You were up early," she said, her tone light but curious. "Off to meet an old acquaintance, you say?"
Luke nodded, chewing his food before replying.
"Yeah. Just tying up some loose ends before I leave."
At that, Ilyrana gave him a knowing smile from where she was stacking dishes.
"I see it went well," she mused, gesturing slightly toward his newly reinforced armour. "Eamon's work?"
"Of course," Luke said, tapping a knuckle against the plated section of his chest. "Good as new. He made some adjustments, though. Feels a little heavier, but I'll manage."
Sister Maria hummed thoughtfully, watching him eat.
