As he looked at it, Tobias thought back to his first night. He was sure he remembered another older student saying something about using bigger coins, but he couldn't remember if the boy had said you could use bigger coins or that you definitely shouldn't. It was probably best not to test it now... and anyway... the slot on the turnstile was knut shaped.
Nah. It was fine. It was probably just for knuts. Yup.
Forrest nodded, offering him the sickle in his hands. Although this didn't solve the problem at all--
he would run out of knuts sooner or later too--it solved the problem of hunger for now, and Forrest was the happiest person on earth now.
"What's your name?" he asked while he waited for him to pass first (manners, y'know?). He was a much friendlier boy when he wasn't hungry.
