Hours ticked by. 

They moved to the train's dining compartment and took a seat around a round wooden table that was polished.

A waiter with an ordinary face, who was dressed immaculately in a white shirt that was crisply ironed, a black waistcoat, trousers to match, and shoes of patent leather that gleamed, approached them with a professional smile.

Each ordered their meal, and their preferences varied. Val asked for a steak, while the nun requested a simple vegetable stew.

The unusual choice came from Lord Lucious, who requested nothing more than a glass of red wine despite having abstained from eating for half the day.

His unusual choice led Val to quirk an eyebrow in surprise. 

His eyes reflected his curiosity as he observed Lucious across the polished wooden table. 

He wondered, wasn't the man hungry?

Shortly after, the meals were served.

Eliana commenced her meal after a short prayer.
