Sylas found himself having to actively use his newly upgraded [Primal Gut] in order to process it properly. His mother watched with a smile that he only now realized had a hint of deviousness to it.
Sylas said a lot about how much Cassarae and his little sister understood him more than almost anyone else. But there was probably one person who stood on a tier all her own when it came to how much insight they had into his brain.
Isolde could have guessed Sylas' thoughts from start to finish.
He originally only sat down to eat the meal she cooked because she had cooked it, not because he had any real interest in eating it, and certainly not because he thought it would be helpful.
In fact, he had probably also weighed whether it was worth telling his mother that such "normal" meals were little different from eating air to him.
