As sort of started in the latest don't harass story skippers thread it got derailed a bit and the eating of food got brought up. Which made me maybe think too deeply about why Varshahn even needs to eat. Let alone how does that work since I'd assume small Varshahn would be just a lifeless body whenever Vrtra removes his eye from it. And now we have two Varshahns who unlike Meteion and mammets are capable of eating food. Which would help back when the lie about Saltrap was needed.

So I went and wondered how does the whole eating thing work since I assume the body behaves like Emmy from the movie Mannequin. Or a Geth or an Android model from their respective games. Where they'd look as though they were asleep. As the bodies wouldn't really need the food since Vrtra's eye is the thing giving the Varshahn bodies life. Meaning does Vrtra's eye get the nourishment and thus Vrtra? Or does the body get extra energy and Vrtra gets nothing and still needs to be fed himself?

Which then had me wondering how no rumors ever got made about how the Saltrap seems to eat a lot more food then you'd think a "normal" person would need to. Back when the lie was being used.
