Chrestienne smiled as Elwen pushed back her hair. "It was more a passing comment than anything else," she said after taking another bite. "You just feel different than Soronume."
She glanced around the table, refreshing her memory of faces and names. Dorlenar looked particularly thoughtful. Chrestienne wondered idly about his thoughts, for he looked troubled indeed. Soronume looked totally at ease, Niniel positively glowed sitting next to him. Mardath was being obnoxious, and she was beginning to think that was his usual modis operandi.
With a contented sigh, she pushed her plate a short distance away from her and turned her attention once again to Niniel. "I'm very sorry to ask you to repeat yourself, but I have forgotten the question you asked me earlier."
