Of course, it's such a noble cause so how could I resist checking in on how you're doing as well as offering to make sure you have plenty to eat?

[ there was only a slight pause at this, settling on a gentle smile in response ]

I assure you Father, I'm doing quite well and appreciate your concern. I do a lot of drawing, painting, some sculpting and practice my instruments. These activities alone are rather therapeutic on their own. Besides, any thoughts or concerns I may have seem so minuscule that it's not really worth so much.

[ ah, but here it was, the moment of truth! ]

Oh that won't do at all Father, afterall, it's been a long time since the church changed their ruling of enjoying good food to be a sin. A happy diet makes for a happy person, while basics alone can get you by there's so much more needed to get one through the day.

I'll be sure to start making meals for you to enjoy, and will steer clear of shellfish.
