we fed off each other\'s comment

Non-PRO English to French Other Poetry & Literature
Bonjour,

From the high ropes course, we were directed straight to the dining hall and Clara and I decided to continue the charade during dinner.
Sitting next to each other, it was easier to keep up the ruse as we fed off each other’s comments.

(Ce sont des jumelles qui ont décidé de changer de place)
