The Appetite Comes With the Eating - for A Little Drabble Do Ya!

Having found a list of Russian proverbs online, I thought I would use them as prompts for some 100 word stories, so here is the first, of potentially... many.

Appetit prikhodit vo vremya yedy (The appetite comes with eating)

"Didn't you eat half an hour ago?" Napoleon's incredulous question failed to distract his partner from the task at hand.

"I did," the blond acknowledged with a nod, "but I do not know where we are travelling to or how long for. Therefore, it pays to be prepared. May I offer you a fry?"

"Not hungry," Napoleon declined.

"The appetite comes with eating," Illya quoted the words his Babushka used when he claimed to be too full to eat his cabbage.

Twelve hours later, in a cold cell devoid of sustenance, Napoleon resolved to put Illya's Babushka's theory into practice.
