It would be at somepoint in the early morning the servant arrived, unfortunately he couldn't speak any Greek. However, a simple meal had been prepared, a mix of fruits, a small amount of meat, and a flat bread.

Regardless, there wasn't much left here for the Pharaoh to see, but he wasn't about to leave him here.

The note was taken, and translated aloud for all to hear, there was the odd noise of discomfort from some of the guards, and something was said by the captain.
