This isn't what you'd planned for. Your intentions on the beach had been to prey on the giant crabs and sandworms, maybe indulging with some fish if one managed to get beached like a whale. Opportunities, taking what you can from bigger creatures. The principle here is the same.
Sure, you won't be hunting the supreme beings that live in this house, but you will have to depend upon their routines, waiting for them to display their awesome power in providing access to food. So, hungry or not, you'll have to take all that you can when the gods deign to cast open the gates of manna.
It's not glorious, meaning you're little more than a scavenger as opposed to the heroic hunter you might have been on the beach, but it's what you need to do to survive.
The plate with the slices of bread lies undefended before you while the woman crouches before the divine glow of the refrigerator. Timing will be everything here. Do you dare snatch from her plate right now, and dash off before you're seen? Do you watch as she applies each layer of filling, hoping for the luxury of choice? Perhaps you're only prepared for the finsihed product, or even wish to wait until she and the danger she represents have gone completely, even if there is a gamble that she may not leave any crumbs!
