( she is not the only one that doesn't know about his condition. in fact, only the person that knew him from before his arrival here in Chantes knows about his heartlessness. sometimes he thinks it shows, whether he wants it to or not — there's gaps in his behavior, places he can't feel or react the way he's meant to and people slowly are likely to notice those absences. there's nothing he can do about them, and perhaps it would be better to explain.
yet he holds it back, for no good reason other than not wanting to explain how he lost it. why it had been taken, the things he'd been forced to do. he's not ready to talk about that, not even with Emma, who at least knows a shadow of what his life had been before the curse. he doesn't know that he'll ever want to talk about it, which leaves his heartlessness a secret he keeps to himself.
it doesn't stop him from living, as bizarre as that sounds. he sets the table quietly, and neatly — and stop to get some water he'd collected the night before. it's a perfectly respectable breakfast, and he tugs a chair out for his companion before he sits himself. )
Have you any plans today?
( as far as his go, they're probably to go out to town for a bit. try and see if there was any word out on the Order. it isn't much of a lead but hopefully the more information they find, the more they'll know about how to help Chantes. )
