It's kind of like a bun, but with mashed up rice instead of flour so it's chewy. [Sorey plucks one from the plate, though he turns his head away to eat it since Mikleo seemed to be bothered by the sounds of chewing the last time he ate with him in the room.] And it's got sweet filling inside. It's reeeeally good.

[Sorey rests his chin lightly atop Mikleo's head as he flips through the mystery. Mikleo's very slowly but very steadily improving. He's not as tired these days, staying awake for longer (though that could be out of sheer stubbornness) and managing to sit up on his own. He still needs help to stand and walk, but that he can do it at all is a vast improvement.

It's just...these visions he keeps having that are the problem.] So? What's the verdict? Does the book mystify and intrigue?
