When Zacharias spoke again, Ernie stopped and looked over his shoulder, the small bundle of clothes he had just gathered in his hands. Maybe this was a trick question. Was he, or any other servant, even allowed to actually have a meal with their assigned students? If anyone found out, what would happen? Certainly people would notice if the others were still skinny and Ernie was gaining weight. Right? But those eggs certainly did look delicious...
Biting his lip, Ernie shook his head and looked away. "I'm fine, thanks," he answered. "You enjoy your brunch, I have work to do. loads to pick up and clean here. Should start getting a move on if I want to finish before dinner time."
