Miaren is watching the creature as well, her back against the very wall that Fern is behind.  It feels real to her, smooth and trackless.  Hunger gets the better of her - far too distracting to ignore, and therefore far too distracting to leave be if she intends to escape.  One of the fruits parts from its branch under her manipulations, and almost absently gets lifted to her lips.<br/><br/>She'll save two for Fern - that's only fair.
