He smiled warmly at the Tiefling, admiring the way her face and her eyes lit up when she was talking about food. If he had a piece of gold for every time she'd snuck some bread when no one was looking, or even when everyone was... he supposed he might have enough money to pay for all the bread she'd eat.

But he knew she'd probably figure it out.
