Snippet #2009556

A nervous habit of smiling and laughing usually came up with Joker under situations of stress. But the smile he made when Fia turn to him with a bowl of what looked like noodles and half a loaf of bread, it broke through his nervousness completely. He could almost cry. This was more food than he had eaten in the past month. He started the season only affording to spend money on rice grain; the rest of his money was required for someone important. He never knew who he was suppose to give it to, but his master told him of it often.

A very vague and flaky master, he would sometimes forget they were even talking. Joker never could tell if he was doing it on purpose, because it seemed like he heard and saw everything. Joker grew up in fear of being caught doing something bad and being sent away, and the fear developed his morality, but through his own personality made his will. Joker was always a determined student, learning everything that he could comprehend, his last test drove him onto this quest away from home.

Joker took the bowl, "Thank you! I'm so relieved to have some good luck for a change." and with that he began to eat rapidly and desperately, scarfing down at what seemed like inhuman speeds and amounts. After but devouring all but about a cup of noodles and three slices of bread, he stopped, mentally scolding himself for his impolite eating. He looked up nervously and smiled, "Thank you for the meal Mistress Envoy Fiammetta Ma'am..." He spoke unwittly, a rare form for him, unsure of how to address her, despite knowing her name.
