[Fortunately, Erhard is not so tired that he can't catch the onigiri without fumbling them. He does look at them with some confusion, though. He thinks he saw Dr. Tachibana with something like this once, and he's seen a few of the others here eat them. But finally, after a few seconds of staring, he takes a bite of the end opposite the nori strip. Different than plain rice, sort of sweet and vinegary? And what's in the middle...?]

Is this salmon?

[sotoshini]

Yeah. The other one is tuna. [ It hadn't occurred to him that Erhard wouldn't be familiar with such a Japanese staple, but that would require a level of thought a bit too far. ]

You need it. [ Natsuno is far from the shining bastion of health so clearly if hes saying this it looks bad. ]

[Erhard's lips twitch, and for a brief instant there's the hint of a wry smile on his lips.]

It makes sense that you'd want to keep me healthy. Iron-rich foods low in saturated fat, to replace lost blood. Thank you.

[He sits down to eat, gesturing for Natsuno to sit as well if he wants.]

[sotoshini]

Mhm. [ A beat and then he pulls out the chair and sits down like he has in the past. Oh, hold on a second. Right he has a bottle of orange juice too, so tossing that over as well. ]

I really am going to be on a diet next week...

[cryosurgeon]

[Erhard catches the bottle and sets it down for when he finishes the first onigiri.]

No, you're not. You need to be as close to full strength as possible, and you can't feed from multiple people. The more people who know your secret, the more danger you're in. I can handle this, Koide.

Sensei. If I take as much as I did the past two weeks, you have a pretty decent shot of dying, or at the least being nearly comatose. I'll deal with it.

There's someone else I could take from but that won't be necessary either.
