Valetni looked up from his meal. Ah, that wayward apprentice of his.<br/><br/>"Riley, Good." he said, taking item and placing it on the chair next to him. "You've eaten?" He asks, coughing.<br/><br/>"No sir." Riley shook his head. Valetni gestured the boy, nearly a man, now that he thought about it into the seat next to him.<br/><br/>"Eat up boy, then get back to work, the front stairs need scrubbing again." At these words, the boy began wolfing down his food as quickly as he could. It wasn't long before the boy was choking on some portion of food which had become lodged in his throat. With an exasperated sigh, Valetni whacked the boy on his back, forcing him to expel the food.<br/><br/>"Thank you sir." Riley replied, eyes watering as he gulped down a drink.<br/><br/>"Have I ever told you you have a girl's name?" Valetni growled after a moment.<br/><br/>"Yes sir, many times." Riley replied, now eating more slowly.<br/><br/>"Hmmm," Valetni said. "Maybe you should man up."<br/><br/>"Yes sir, as you say sir." Riley agreed. The two continue to eat in silence, the package on the other chair, ignored for now but not forgotten.
