[QUOTE="spyscribe, post: 818024, member: 5808"] [b]Meanwhile...[/b] Lira notices that Reyu has paused in her tale, and takes advantage of the gap to beckon to Mrs. Blackburn, the mistress of the boarding house. “Is there any more porridge left?” she asks. “Might be a bit,” Mrs. Blackburn allows cautiously. Lira looks up at the older woman with an expression that would put a stray puppy to shame. “Please?” Mrs. Blackburn snorts, but turns back to the kitchen. Lira swings her legs happily under her chair as the landlady soon returns with a refilled wooden bowl. “Thank you,” says Lira and she digs in with gusto. After a moment, she notices that Reyu has not started her story again. “Go on. You were arrested by the watch, and…” But Reyu is still staring at the young woman across the table. “How can you eat like that?” Lira stops eating. She checks. Elbows off the table. Back straight. No porridge dribbling down chin. She swallows so as not to speak with her mouth full. “Like what?” “Aren’t you full?” Lira shakes her head. “Not quite.” She looks down at herself and shrugs. “I know it isn’t going to muscle, but… I’m hungry. Mother always said it’s why I don’t get sick much.” Reyu mentally files a note for her future reports to the matriarch. [I]The size of an Elf, but with the constitution of a horse--[/I] “So, what happened next?” The young human asks. [I]--and the patience of a swallow.[/I] Reyu drags her attention back to her tale. “So, we were arrested…” [/QUOTE]
