Raku looked down at Aimee, considering her in silence. She was a very... innocent girl. There was simply no other way to describe his Master's daughter. She acted like no one had ever hurt her in her life, but Raku's eyes were experienced. They had seen many things more than a boy his age should have seen. They had seen scars like hers before. Many, many times. And not all of those scars were physical.

He turned away from her, dead eyes fixed on the path ahead as he held onto her hand, guiding her to the door and away down the hall.
"No," he whispered in response to her question. "I am not hungry."

It wasn't a lie. It was never a lie. Raku was never hungry. Many people had observed that he seemed oblivious to such human plagues as hunger, thirst, exhaustion. Indeed, he seemed inhuman. He would work, he would fight, until he dropped, fell unconscious for simple lack of caring. It had happened many times: he had come back from a mission and collapsed in the middle of his report because he had not thought to stop and eat or drink or sleep for several days. He didn't take care of himself. He didn't have to. His only duty was to serve this family.

He led Aimee down the hall and around the corner to the kitchen. The cook looked up as he answered, and began rapidly bowing, seeming to forget the soup he had been seasoning.
"Raku-sama!" he cried. "It is a pleasure!"

"Of course," Raku replied in an emotionless voice, gentle smile vanishing completely, leaving his face as empty as his eyes. "Hime-same is hungry."

"I have something right here!" the cook cried, and vanished around a corner of shelves to fetch the rice-cakes he had made for Aimee.
