He isn't even given the time to recover from that when the red string between them lights up. He nearly drops the bread, swallowing hard as he frowns down at the sight of it in confusion, wondering if his mind is just this slow right now over this or if it's the blood loss.

[ He stares at the string still half in disbelief and gives a short laugh. ]

[ Absently, starts on eating that bread since there's pretty much nothing that can put off his appetite and he's not going to question this part too much. Someone feeding him is someone feeding, no matter the extenuating circumstances. ]
