"Mmhmm," replies Vex, arching an eyebrow in return. Yes, she believes you, uh huh, definitely been eating well while stuck as a prisoner and feeling very miserable. "Well, if you do have any complaints, be aware a few of us have been helping in the kitchen, and not everyone has managed the art of actual cooking yet."

Hence the cookies? Well, no, Vex made those because she could. And it was a convenient excuse to get a good look at the girl. She's much younger than Vex anticipated, but she still has that Spark - means that while she's a little dented in spirit, nothing's been done to break her. Yet. And from what she's picked up around here, that could well be an option on the cards in future..

But then isn't now, and the question earns a sunny smile. "Actually yes, since you ask." Vex pauses, deliberately lifting one hand to deliberately sweep back a loose lock behind a very pointed ear. "Is it actually true that your world has no magic? Or is that just something people here keep telling me to console me over my lack?"
