My mind still felt tired, so I didn't pay attention to how Ned cooked. I simply helped along when my assistance was needed, but was out of it for the most part.
When we finished, it felt surprising to me, almost like a flash. It was as though my mind was somewhere else while my body robotically finished the task in front of me.
As we walked over to the table, my eyelids began to flutter. For some reason, the fatigue was coming in waves, battering my mind like the high tide. I hoped they would settle down soon. After all, there was still a spell to memorize.
My mind was still in a blur by the time we reached the dinner table. I sat down and when my vision cleared up, a large amount of food was spread out before me.
I recoiled my head back and blinked a few times.
"Ah, there's a lot here."
Ned laughed and slapped his knee.
