[Guilty as he feels about getting her punished (yes she was a willing participant, which he does have to keep reminding himself), Zelgadis has gone to great efforts to make this week as comfortable as possible for Saber. Food is important to her -- it's almost like the Wardens found the least punishments that would be worst for them individually. Zelgadis is still fretting about teaching a class in front of people.]
[But there's nothing to be done about that. About Saber's food troubles, however, there was something he could swing. Such as catching some fish in the ocean -- totally permissible, he checked -- and using some things from the convenience store to flavor them. Ramen flavor packets, bouillon cubes, things like that. He found some canned beans and some dry rice and used those to make a side dish. No vegetables, but he did find plenty of mini-cakes for dessert, and instant coffee with powdered cream.]
[It's all a very pleasant distraction from thinking about how things might change between them now -- or might not change. But whether they go on as before or don't is somehow less pressing now. She proved to him how she feels; what else does he need?]
[He's just finishing up getting the table set. Hopefully she'll like it.]
