the rose of vacuo book 2

chapter 4

Morning

*Ruby woke up, the memories of last night hitting her like a bullet train. She groaned softly, and looked up, she didn't see glynda anywhere, so ruby did the only logical thing. She tried to escape by the window*

Glynda:before you leave, would you like breakfast? I'm sure raven is gonna train you hard again

Ruby:......

*Ruby looked behind her, and saw Glynda leaning against the door, with a neutral expression, but with a raised eyebrow. She heard ruby groaning and walked to see her*

Ruby:..... yes, I would like that

Glynda:then come to the dining room, food is ready. Though I wouldn't call what they gave me to work with, as fresh

*Glynda said with a bit of disgust, since she was the kind of person, who needs all her food to be all organized, no GMO, from the farmer's market. Ruby shrugged and walked to the dinning room*

Ruby: food is food, better than starving. And yes, I starved a lot while I was under....under his control

*Ruby said with a soft hiss, the memory of her dream, making her extra bitter this morning, Glynda was of course putting that in her little mental checkbook*

Glynda:hm. I'm sorry that you had to go through that, and I can see that worry in your eyes, I won't talk about what happened last night, if you're not comfortable. No one is gonna force you

Ruby: It doesn't make me uncomfortable, because there's nothing to talk about, it was just a stupid dream.

*Ruby said harshly, she was being completely transparent. But Glynda didn't push ruby anymore than she needed, they made it to the dining room, and ruby sat down, started eating the second she did so. Glynda sat down and ate calmly, it tasted vile, she could taste all the chemicals and plastic in her tongue, she quickly spit it out and washed her mouth, she glanced at ruby who didn't care, she was eating it all aggressively*

Glynda:ok, no. Ruby stop eating that, it's not good for you

Ruby:what are you talking about, food is food

*Ruby said a bit annoyed, she became more annoyed when Glynda took her plate away, she had to force herself not to bite Glynda's hand*

Glynda:food filled with chemicals, where is the farmer of this tribe? I need to have a word with him

Ruby:there isn't one, all the food here is stolen

*Ruby said, taking a drink of her water. Glynda gave an annoyed smile pinching the bridge of her nose*

Glynda:of course it is. I'm gonna have a word with raven, and make her portal me, to my local farmers market, to get real food

Ruby: here's your chance, in 3....2.....1

*Like clockwork, raven opened the door. She didn't look pleased, but to be fair she never does*

Raven:ruby, I've gotten complaints of your screaming last night.

Ruby;I'm sorry chief. It won't happen again

*Ruby said, not meeting raven's gaze. Now Glynda was mad for a whole nother reason, but raven wasn't finished, as she tossed something do the table*

Raven:see that you don't. Or next time, I'll make you wear that

Ruby:yes chief

*Ruby said, hidding her annoyance, Glynda on the other hand was outraged for ruby, since what raven tossed on the table, was a muzzle to make sure ruby stays quiet*
