He sends a lot of the carrots and apples home to his family because it's the nice thing to do and because there's a recession coming on, but some of them he keeps on hand.

Many of his costumes have quite a lot of spare room and it's actually incredibly convenient to have an apple or carrot on hand for a snack when he wants to avoid food services. Richard hangs out there sometimes when he doesn't have a scene, and lately he's taken to putting together flamboyent unicorn puzzles. Bradley's not sure if Richard heard the ridiculous story or if someone just got him the puzzles.

The snacks also prove useful when Bradley catches Colin sitting in full sun, doing what appears to be yet more homework. He tosses an apple so it lands perfectly in Colin's lap, and when he finally looks up, gestures him over into the shade.

"What is it with you and all this homework, anyway?" Bradley asks as Colin settles his pens and things and leans against Bradley in the shade.

"This isn't homework," Colin replies, "It's a letter to your Mum."
