[Self-conscious as he feels wheedling lunch from a stranger who doesn't know him from a hole in the head, his stomach gives a unanimous yes, please to having a whole sandwich all to himself. He's been eating so much since he woke up, it's like his body is trying to make up for something it lost.
Following Aranea's example, he takes a healthy bite out of his, considers a second, then comes to the conclusion she's definitely knows her foods, too.]
You were right about these sandwiches.
[He puts the back of his hand to his mouth so he can laugh without spraying crumbs everywhere.]
Secret's safe with me, it's the least I can do. [It helps that he doesn't know what her husband looks like, so less chance of his letting the amnesiac cat out of the bag.] Sounds like me. I... didn't remember I was adopted until I almost passed the guy who took me in on the street. Like a flash and then the blindfold came off.
[The hospital's an anchor in rocky waters--home base until he knows where home really is.]
I'm not officially discharged yet. I'm hoping they'll fix me up before then.
