No shortage at all. [ Not with the methods he employs. ]

Wonderful. We'll arrange for it as soon as is convenient. [ A laugh. ] Of course you can eat. I don't mind it. It's not as if I miss it, you know.

I'm glad. [She would offer herself in a heartbeat, otherwise.]

Ah, you don't? But there are so many wonderful flavors to be had from food. I think I might miss it.

Just to be safe, I think I'll eat beforehand, and after, but not during.

[ Oh Tohru. Don't tempt him. ]

As time passes, you forget. So you stop pining for what you're no longer missing. Much less what you no longer need.

Such a sweet girl. But there's hardly any reason to deny yourself. I'll keep a platter of cupcakes at hand, for you to snack on.

[She wouldn't mean to. Tohru just wouldn't be able to bear the idea of Karl going "hungry." What if it was harmful to him?]

Has it been a very long time, then?

You don't have to do that! Don't worry. I'll be okay without. The tea will be more than enough, with your company and reading.

[ Not as harmful as his attention would be to her. ]

Years and years. Flavors are phantoms by now.

Ah, but I ins~ist. I can't have my little narrator going hungry, now can I?

[Yes, that's why it's a good thing Karl has "volunteers".]

I can't imagine....

If it's for the best, then all right. I wouldn't want you to be concerned about me. You should be able to focus on the reading in peace.

Such an accommodating angel.

I'll look forward to when we're both free enough to do so, then.

I look forward to it, too, Mister Karl!

Until then, I will do my best to keep staff fed, and the house clean!
