Bait

Trap to catch a bird?

Then… Can the caught bird be eaten?

Roast! It will be tasty!

Apply cumin and chilli powder!

Gluttony was stunned, looking at Kieran with puppy eyes and drool.

Without even sensing his thoughts, Kieran knew what Gluttony was thinking with a single glance, so he changed his way.

"Do you want to be eaten?" Kieran asked.

Gluttony shook his head repeatedly.

He loved to eat, not get eaten by something else.

"Then you can't go in there," said Kieran.

"But, but, but, it's t-tasty…"

Gluttony stuttered, his words disconnected but the unwillingness on his face giving out some hints.

"You'll need a loyal and nearly undead subordinate to scout the path for you."

Kieran snapped his fingers and Bloody Mary appeared right away.

"Boss, at your service."
