Ernest just smiled. He was as tranquil and composed as a spiritual master, and as quiet as one could be.
He wasn't eating the peaches although he'd barely had anything for breakfast. Even after traversing along the mountain paths for hours, he didn't look tired at all. He did not even eat the peach, and he wasn't hungry.
How was he human?
"It's very sweet." Adrian also peeled a peach and took a bite. "It also has a hint of the taste of the sun."
"Right?" Leah glanced at Adrian and then at Ernest. "Ernest, are you not going to have one?"
"I'm not hungry," he said flatly.
Leah felt like she was about to collapse. She was eating a peach when her jaw dropped slightly in surprise. "Are you... you not hungry?"
Ernest nodded. "Yes, I'm not hungry."
"Are you human?" Leah really felt like she was about to collapse. They were both the same human species, yet why could Ernest feel fine without eating, while she felt like she was about to die?
Ernest frowned.
