Upon hearing your request for food, Joel immediately pulls out a small ration that he has kept hidden in his backpack. He hands it over to you without any hesitation, his concern for your wellbeing evident in his actions.
"Here. Eat this," Joel says, his gruff tone softening just slightly as he offers you the food. You take it gratefully, the thought of nourishment bringing a sense of renewed energy to your body as you begin to eat. The taste is somewhat stale and dry, but it's enough to provide you with some sustenance after four long days of going without.
As you take another bite, you can feel a warmth permeating your body, easing the hunger pangs and soothing your aching muscles. It's a simple pleasure in this world of chaos, but it's one that you deeply appreciate.
