You know,” OreSeur muttered quietly, obviously counting on her tin to let Vin hear him, “it seems that these meetings would be more productive if someone forgot to invite those two.” Vin smiled. “They’re not that bad,” she whispered. OreSeur raised an eyebrow. “Okay,” Vin said. “They do distract us a little bit.” “I could always eat on of them, if you wish,” OreSeur said. “That might speed things up.” Vin paused.

I think it's important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating.

They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food. ↗

Thank God (my wife) and I were both born poor so the concept of fidelity was allowed to take root in us. ↗
