Kunik sighed wearily, noting the visible ribs on her own frame as well as Grace's drop in weight. "I'd tell you not to be afraid, that everything will be okay, but that would be a lie lass. If you're not afraid you're not right in the head."

I'll starve before I see you perish from this." The young girl had been through too much to die from a famine, even without knowing her story she had seen the skittish nature Grace possessed. The scars on her leg were inflicted by a wolf, it was obvious. Kunik wouldn't watch the girl starve to death, she would give her all the fish in the damn stream if she had to.
