[QUOTE="Malvoisin, post: 3061021, member: 40128"] Lavinia says, [COLOR=RoyalBlue]"Are you hungry? I know I am! Let's continue our conversation over dinner." [/COLOR] She gives Col a strange look as he has already seated himself and begun eating a roll; but, she offers a very pleased smile to Anar at his chivalry and charm. Lavinia seats herself at the head of the long table, and invites the rest of the dinner party to do the same. Moments later, a pair of servants begin bustling in and out of the room, laying tray after tray of succulent smelling food on the table. Fresh boiled crabs, broiled ans teamed fish, roast turkey, and smoked venison are supplemented with yams and numerous other vegetables, fresh fruit, and warm sweetbread. The wine and ale flow freely and everything is beyond delicious. Everyone enjoys the meal for several minutes until, at last, Lavinia gets to the business at hand. Wiping her mouth with a cloth napkin, she begins to speak. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]"As you may have heard, I recently inherited my parents' estate.
