You look up at him

He carries a bowl, of what appears to be a few berries.

"Thank them for their mercy, at least. I'm starving!" You think.

He places the berries in your cage and steps back, gesturing at you to eat them. His face is expressionless.

You look at the berries. They look innocent enough. And if they had wanted to kill you, they could have done so much earlier, with less hassle.
