Those that had gathered in the castle grounds were talking with each other, but Arin was left alone to converse with her bird companion. The priestess hadn't felt contempt for Choco, although it was clear from the glances that they had received that Arin and Choco stood out in one way, shape or form. Placing her hat back on her head, Arin blinked a few times and slapped her cheeks to shake away the awkwardness that plagued the priestess, just in time for the prince to return from his short disppearance and greet the group once more, now with a prized royal breakfast. As they were ushered into the banquet hall, introductions were to be had and questions were to be asked. Some were more strict as they spoke, and some were curious as to what the mission was. There were also a few that were silent at the dining table, and even those that cared not to introduce themselves and preferred to ask questions. Regardless of how each of them went about speaking (or staying silent), Arin waited patiently and politely for each one of them to finish before she spoke. Standing up from the chair she was seated in, Arin held her staff with both of her hands, and bowed before Eli and Rhea.[/color] [color=lightsteelblue][b]"I am Arin Nilinas, a priestess from Avondale, and this is my companion, Choco."[/b][/color] [color=silver] As if Arin had trained him, Choco proceeded to bow his feathered head towards the prince.[/color] [color=lightsteelblue][b]"The both of us hope to be of service to you, your most royal highness."[/b][/color] [color=silver] With a smile to Eli and his bodyguard, Arin took her seat once more. Once introductions and questions were finished, Arin began to eat the food that was presented to each one of them on the table. The food looked delicious, and entirely different than a typical village diet. The bread was hardly rough, and the meat appeared tender. Arin was ready to dig in, if she was able to take a bite. The priestess stabbed a fork through a piece of meat, and raised it towards her mouth before it disappeared. Blinking in confusion, Arin continued to attempt to eat several times, and each time the food was disappear. Looking upwards at Choco, Arin was able to realize that the bird was stealing her food as she tried to take a bite. Hanging her head dejectedly in contrast to the entusastic music the bard was playing, Arin sighed and set the fork down. Forced to wait until they were off on their adventure to eat, the priestess couldn't help but to feel disheartened when her first taste of royal food would have to wait due to a greedy bird.[/color] [hr] [center][@Mistiel][@Tenma Tendo][@Tala Avana][@Kazemitsu][@Lord Orgasmo][@Redneckatron][@Ambra][@Mercurial][@Zeroth][@Solace][@LordVoldemort][/center]
