[color=a0410d]"She reeks of old hatred!"[/color]  the girl declared tensly, then she looked down, and trembled again as if realizing that she might have uttered something she shouldn't. 

[color=a0410d]"I--I am sorry. Thank you for helping me--" [/color] Her voice was muffled, and Jorry clutched the hem of her dress. [color=a0410d]"Your kindness will never be forgotten... I will do my best to be of use." [/color]

The situation became awkward and only eased up when Nina suddenly returned with a tray. 

[i]"Heeey, it’s lunch time!"[/i]

The three stared at each other for a moment. Bear was sitting on the floor and was in a deep conversation. It was impolite to interrupt, but the door was open and she did say she would return. Ugh! 

"It’s heavy. Hurry and take it!" Nina grumbled, then Cedar stood and reached for a table so Nina could place the tray safely 

The menu was soft bread, vegetable soup with chicken and colorful beans, fried potatoes and onions garnished with salt, garlic, and pepper, roasted beef with sauce and fruit cake as dessert. That was the usual in this inn. Plain and simple food but homey and wholesome.

"Dig in you two!" Said Nina, smiling, but soon she smacked her forehead after realizing how big Cedar was. "Err... maybe call me later if you need something else?" There would definitely be a call later, but Nina just put up the last defense from bankrupting her entire kitchen.
