Victuals
You walk silently to the kitchen table for a midday meal. Both of your older sisters, Ci and Fen, are already well into their own servings of flat Bread, crisp vegetables with rich Sauce, and sliced Fruit. You sit and begin eating in silence. Ci and Fen are talking about something, probably, but you can’t even focus on them enough to find out what. You are trying to build up the Courage to tell them about your intention to talk to the Vicar tomorrow. They will probably be fine with it. Even so, you can’t stop worrying about what if they disapprove. You have gone through this every day for weeks. Today is the last day to mention it before it actually happens.
You do not mention it.
