Clara and Tanek
"You mean, like, summer?" Tanek asked, feeling for the right answer. This was actually his first year spent in an actual school: the year before, he had been a vagabond and the year before that, a prisoner.
He contemplated the answer, immediately losing the beat as his feet shuffled around awkwardly. He narrowly missed Clara's toes. "The food, I guess. Fresh fruit and vegetables. In the castle, summer was better for food." While the captives of Anton Castle were never actively starved, they did not get as much food as they needed, especially considering their ages.
