"Do not worry, I intend to be as cautious as possible from this point forward to avoid any other misunderstandings. Perhaps you could explain some of the finer points of Human culture, if you would like to help with that endeavor. And...thank you. I do not think I need to say how embarrassing that entire situation was for me, and no doubt you as well. Give me a moment to collect my meal and I will be glad to take that seat." Ssarak responded, bowing once more before stepping away to grab a plate. 

Ssarak moved quickly around the room, searching for interesting foods to try. He saw a few dishes with ingredients from the Scorched Lands, but as he was already well-familiar with their tastes, he passed them up in favor other dishes he had not seen before. Even so, he tended to stick with cuts of meat, or at least meat based dishes, as it was rather difficult for him to eat fruits and vegetables with teeth that were designed for cutting and tearing. Most of the cuts of meat looked pretty much the same as those from creatures in the Scorched Lands, but it was easy to tell by their scents if they were from different creatures. Grabbing one of the largest plates available, he filled about half of it with three large cuts of meat from three separate animals, then moved on to the selections of seafood. Since leaving his homeland, Ssarak had become somewhat obsessed with the water and the creatures that resided in it. His homeland did not have bodies of water large enough, or stable enough to support any sort of underwater ecology, and he found that aquatic creatures had entirely different tastes and textures from anything that lived on land. When he first arrived in Human lands, he was surprised and excited to find that they had lakes and rivers in which one could actually swim. He nearly drowned the first time he stepped into the water, but he had since learned to swim decently well. 

Once Ssarak had his food, he walked over to another table to grab a drink. Just as before, there were a plethora of options, but he finally decided on a bottle of Ember, something to add just a touch of his homeland to his overall experience. He quickly returned to Aruna and took the seat she had offered, though he did not begin eating immediately, instead deciding to observe the others around him first to make sure there were no Human traditions he needed to be following in regards to beginning his meal. 

"This feast is certainly spectacular, like nothing I have seen before. I look forward to the magic demonstrations, especially that of the psychomancy instructor. I am eager to see what I might be capable of in the future." Ssarak commented.
