The Empress' Estate- Sam

Sam bows his head and stands, taking his place at the table.
He'll eat with gusto, having had only his packed rations for the day's trip, but the Empress or anyone else might notice that he eats slowly at first, only taking from dishes that are quite full, and only starting to really pick up and take foods once the former slaves have had their fill. The least he can do is make sure he doesn't take the last roll when they wanted it, after all they've been through.
