Caelan gave her a piece of square biscuit, still unopened.
"You know, thanks for giving me this. You're not so stingy after all."
After all, Aria had written this male lead's character to be someone who didn't share his precious food with anyone except the destined heroine.
It's the apocalypse, any food is a luxury.
"I will make sure this favor is returned. I'll give you the food as I promised, as soon as you send me to City C. I will not be eating your food for free. I'll pay you later for this biscuit at its market price."
Aria said it to make sure her deal with the male lead was clear.
She wanted to eat the unopened biscuit without feeling like she was stealing someone else's food.
Caelan gave her a brief glance, barely lasting a second, and then continued scanning the surroundings.
He went into the convenience store, leaving Aria behind with an invisible question mark above her head.
What?
Isn't she just thoughtfully reminding him of their deal?
