The circle of chairs is out. In the middle is a table with a wide selection of food, but most notably a big apple pie, the smell of which is wafting pleasantly across the bar.

Behind the circle, on the wall, is a large sign.

"Yes, Athelstan hardly likes to eat anything any more," Ragnar says. "So if I find anything he likes, I make sure he gets as much as he likes. Like olives."

[patterns_bloom]

"That's thoughtful of you," Alana says, resting her chin in her hand. "It's good to encourage him to eat. Anything will do. Olives are as good as anything. Is there anything else he likes to eat that you know of?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"He doesn't seem to care much what it is," Ragnar says. "Never has. He eats honeyed seed cakes if there are any, but who doesn't?"

[patterns_bloom]

"At least he's eating something," Alana says, pressing her lips together in a thin line. "That's good at least. Do you think he gets enough?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"No."

Ragnar sounds very unhappy with that.

"Well, if he decides to take the medication, maybe his appetite will improve," Alana says, shaking her head. "I'm not sure what we can do about that aside from hoping it gets better once the underlying condition is treated."

"Offer olives in the meanwhile," Ragnar says. "And olive bread."

Which is a good trick to make him eat bread, which is a bit better than only olives.

[patterns_bloom]

"Yes, keep offering that," Alana says, biting her lower lip. "It's a difficult time for him and for you. Hopefully he'll improve. I'll talk to him as soon as I see him next. Thank you for coming to me with your concerns today."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Thank you for listening to me, and explaining," Ragnar says. "It's all very worrying for me."

[patterns_bloom]

"I can imagine," Alana says, breathing in through her nose. "You're a good friend to him, Ragnar. He might come to you, and I only hope you'll be there for him."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Thank you," Ragnar says, softly.
