Halfway through the meal, he started to yawn unbearably, eyes watering so much he could barely see. Next to him, Astira was already asleep, on the verge of falling headfirst against the stove.

In the next moment, however, on the wings of recalling he'd had nothing but tea, he remembered passing out. Drugged. Someone had known they were coming and arranged to have them drugged.
