Trying to semain indifferent, I grabbed the jug, pouring myself some juice just as Theon lifted the crab, but rather than eating it, he used his knife to push it off his fork, letting it fall rather unceremoniously back onto the platter.

I was about to put the jug down, when Theon reached over and took the glass I had just filled up.

Madelia asked politely as he led us inside. I wonder if the alpha sent her to at least have some courtesy, because Theon clearly lacked that. “The master will be happy to have you here.” The man replied. “His health is deteriorating, very fast…” The gravity of his words was obvious, and I knew the man we were to see would not live for much longer. We followed him down the wooden panelled halls. The floors were covered with rugs with modest patterns, and the smell of orchids and mangoes filled the air.
