He was very uneasy, she could feel his body shivering on the inside like that of a cat. His stomach was even making some weird noises--grumbling. It could have been hunger, but who knew? Sigrid could not guess, she just held his hand and occasionally sneaked a piece of chocolate into his mouth.
Maybe eating candy at a funeral was not the greatest idea but this was Lady Jane's funeral. A lot of things were going on that would be frowned upon more than the esteemed leaders of the empire eating candy.
