Subject: mmm...food.

"Dig in! Why wait, you all must be starving!" Wessae encourages cheerfully, a bit shocked that they'd wait for her before eating. Putting food on her own plate, she dutifully starts in to prove that it is indeed terrific food. When she starts eating it, she suddenly remembers how terrifically hungry she is, and speaks between bites. "Health is the most important thing, yes." She nods agreeably, a smile for everyone at the table as she eats.

A'rak doesn't need to be told twice. In fact, he's been nibbling ever since the other riders joined the table with food. Seeing that everyone is waiting for his sister to finish, he guiltily stops sneaking pieces of fruit off the table...for a moment. Then he's back at it again as he listens affably to the banner. At Tani's description he gives a nod and a pleased grin, this epithet is not unwelcome to the unashamed fellow. He gives a small wave to both new girls, but when his sister speaks he's totally focused on one thing: food!

Sensing her somewhat alienation from the group, Ina keeps eye contact with Jari, the one other person who isn't some sort of celebrity in this place. Why they were even at the table, she really had no idea. The group seemed friendly enough and she loved dragonfolk talk, but something about this was different. This group had history, like deep roots running through the ground and tangling together. And she was still just a seed, perhaps lying unkowningly on top of those roots in the presence of the trees. She didn't really feel like being here and being an outsider. Her sister Isabel was probably off primping someplace, but she didn't really feel like being with her sister much, if ever. Seeing the flit on the back of Tani's chair, she suddenly decides she wants one.

Over the sea of talk, she mouths across to Jari 'Want to go to the beach?' slowly and carefully several times. 'I'm going'. She adds several more before slipping quietly out of her chair and out of the caverns, unnoticed by the riders. Tani is too busy mock-glaring at R'nos. "Why, isn't that cute? Did the weyrlings teach you witty banter, brownrider? It's about as fine tuned as a bludgeoning club used on wherries, you know." She smiles sweetly at R'nos and sips her klah. "I'm sure with practice, it will get better, though."
