Varshahn and food.

[Alleluia]

Vrtras eye is an aether battery. I doubt he *needs* to intake any aether while in the Varshaan body. At least not under normal circumstances. But he still can cus it’s a working body. And good food is pleasant, and communal eating is a social experience, so he does it.

As for how they covered Vrtra’s own food intake when the lie was still ongoing, prolly just claimed the food was for the satrap’s household in bulk and left it at that? I don’t think we actually know how much dragons need to eat anyway. Their biology is so weird, first brood more than most. I mean you assume they eat, and eat meat or fish cus of those teeth, but no idea how often it’s required. Vrtra may have eaten such a small amount the satrap’s family could easily just include it in their groceries without anyone noticing.

It's worth noting actually that Vrtra's presence in the Satrap's home was already known, or at least rumored. That being stories of "The Satrap's Dragon ally."

Oh, people knew that the dragon was a thing, that wasn't unusual to them. So an entire dragon's worth of food would've been expected; it would've been weird if they weren't getting that much!

Varshahn was made to appear like a real boy, so it only makes sense that he could eat. Thavnair would've noticed if he never did!
