[John put the fork down and gave a sigh. He wasn't sure how to respond to this other than maybe Shiki wasn't much for vegetables. It was a guess at best and instead of forcing Shiki to eat it, he simply went on to the next which was the potato. His own meal was growing cold and fighting a stubborn person wasn't his ideal of a good time. Before taking the fork to the baked tuber, he reached for the glass of water first and thought that washing it down was a better idea.

Still no words. It was pointless to talk to someone that wasn't going to respond.]
