Wilbur only grunted in response.
“Kingdom’s on fire,” Tommy continued. “Rioting in the streets. The guards are staging a coup. Techno is leading them.”
“Sure, Tommy,” Wilbur said noncommittally, reaching to dip his quill into the inkpot.
Tommy casually moved the inkpot out of his reach. Wilbur glared up at him, finally acknowledging him, albeit with annoyance.
“What do you want, Tommy?” Wilbur asked, irritable.
Tommy took one of the apples and planted it squarely in front of his brother. “Starvation’s a pretty shit way to go,” Tommy said. “Find a less dumb way to die.”
Wilbur stared down at the fruit as if he had never seen one before. “I’m not hungry,” he said, at the exact moment his stomach started to growl.
Tommy snorted. “How embarrassing for you.”
“Shut up.” But Wilbur was putting down his quill and reaching for the apple. Tommy bit into his own to hide his self-satisfied smile.
