It was easy enough to reply to the sadness in his tone and in his voice. "Take another drink of that fruit juice for me. I'll leave a meat roll right here." Jada had talked to him enough for one day, she thought. And with her luck, she'd probably done more harm than good.
Carefully, she wrapped the meat roll in one of the clean, plain white kerchiefs that she had in the bottom of the basket to keep crumbs from getting everywhere. She sat a piece of fruit next to the roll, and filled the drink a bit higher, about halfway to the top.
"I hope you feel better." she told him, and meant it. "I hardly have anything useful to do, just classes and spending time with Krypth. If you want to talk again... I can come spend some time with you. I won't even preach at you next time." She tried to keep the puppy-dog hope out of her voice, and stepped backwards, away from the bed. And then she turned, moving for the door of the room and opening it wordlessly, slipping outside, shutting him inside firmly.
