Chapter 700 A Quiet Offering, A Stubborn Heart

• Gawen's condition wasn't going to improve on pills alone. His body needed real nourishment, something he hadn't had in a long time.
• Most days, he lived on fish cakes that barely counted as food—more potato than protein. Scoring a few cans of anything decent once every week or two was already considered a stroke of luck.
• Living on scraps like that was slowly wearing him down. If it kept up, it could easily cost him years of his life.
