Chapter 6: The Tin Knight and The Knights Page
It took about two hours for the Tin Knight to return.
Dorothea, who had been contemplating whether to eat the jerky and dried fruit in her hand, brightened at the sight of the roasted chunk of meat the Tin Knight had brought.
“I was wondering why you were taking so long. Did you actually make this?”
[The 'Tin Knight' gives a thumbs up!]
A faint smile appeared on Dorothea’s lips.
If it had been freshly hunted meat with the cooking yet to begin in earnest, Dorothea might have been unable to hold back her irritation any longer. However, since he brought a finished product, it was a different story.
She wondered where the cooking had been done, but didn’t dwell on it too deeply. Dorothea herself could easily light a fire if she wanted to, so she assumed the knight before her had managed somehow.
[The 'Tin Knight' urges Dorothea to eat before it gets cold!]
The Tin Knight held out the meat.
Although there wasn’t a proper plate and she had to use the bone as a makeshift handle, the fact that it was still warm made it decent enough for an outdoor meal.
“Thank you for the meal.”
