【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十九章:时光 Time(29)
No.
The Thirst was not something I could afford to indulge again. I had given in once and by some miracle, as Alessandra named it, there had been no ill effects but that… that was an impossibility that I was willing to accept once and only once. I was not so arrogant as to test fate a second time and drink from Alessandra again in the expectation of another miracle.
It had happened once, and that had been a gift, I was not going to repeat the mistakes of my kind and continue to take and take and take until there was no more left to give.
Not from Alessandra.
Never from Alessandra.
I shivered again before making my way out of the bedroom, picking up a robe on the way out and tugging it on before nosing around for some breakfast.
I activated the burner of the stovetop in the small kitchen, laid down a flat iron pan, and drew out a few handfuls of something Alessandra had called ‘Nara Eggs’. Apparently they were a common breakfast food originating from one of the pastoral Agriworlds in the subsector, and she had been incredibly pleased to have found a stock of them in a cooling unit that still had power a few levels up.
