----Silence. It lasts and it isn’t comfortable, but it’s a question that strikes them to their very core because they know the answer immediately. Yes, it’s a resounding yes. It depends on what they’ve eaten, what’s in the body, what’s been absorbed by the muscles. Depends on if they’re eating someone who’s been dead for days or months or years versus it being someone they’ve killed seconds ago.
❝ It really.. Depends. ❞ It’s all they can manage, and they can’t find it in themselves to meet their gaze. They feel like there’s a knot in their throat, like they can’t get anymore words out beyond that even if they wanted to. Thickly, they swallow that lump, try to find their voice again. ❝ ...The same way the taste of a dish might depend on how much of each ingredient is added. ❞
