GM: You’re about halfway through your watch when you notice the little boy glancing over at the leftover rabbit occasionally.
Elf Paladin, ooc: Oh, he must be hungry. I go and take some of the leftover rabbit to him.
GM: Your character is clumsy and it’s pretty dark out, so I need you to roll a d20.
Elf Paladin: *rolls* …7.
GM: You take the meat to the little slave boy, but on the way over there you trip and drop the meat on the ground.
Elf Paladin: Oh no!!
GM: The little boy bends down and picks up the rabbit and holds it out to you, since it’s your meat.
Elf Paladin: *to the little boy* No, you need it more than me. You eat it.
GM: *pauses* …So you just. Dropped this meat. In the dirt. …And now you’re telling this little boy…to eat the dirt-covered meat….
Elf Paladin, ooc: *horrified* No!!! I didn’t mean it like that!!!
GM: *gleefully* No take backs!!
-About a month later, in-game, after we’ve freed the boy from slavery and now travel with him-
GM: The boy notices that you’re hungry and goes to the kitchen. He reaches under the counter and pulls out a whole roasted rabbit. He sets it on the table in front of you. It looks delicious.
Elf Paladin: I thank him cheerfully and pick up my fork to eat.
GM: The boy holds up one finger to pause you, reaches down under the counter again and pulls something else out. He holds his hand above the rabbit and gives you a sweet smile, and then sprinkles some dirt on the rabbit.
Elf Paladin, ooc: WHAT!!! …Okay, I deserve that one….
