"Well, I suppose we could use some nourishment, both for our bodies and our spirits." - Torquato comments, - "Before we go, how did the situation in Throtl went? We saw Larcent is well obviously, but during the struggle we lost sight of Rof. Any news on him?"

Sir Karl chuckles and says to Robin, "Of course. We don't have much, but we can put together something of a small feast for you all."
To Torquato, he adds, "Sir Larcent did manage to retrieve Mister Zimmer as they made their escape from the city. They also managed to retrieve Mister Abelaard on their way back here. I sent the both of them, along with Sir Dietrich, to help find the remaining missing patrols. Unfortunately, they are not due back for several days, so the four of you will have to go on without them, I'm afraid."

Serafina, upon seeing Maya, even though she doesn't know the woman personally, seems to kind of shrink, if possible into her chair.

Robin wiggles his posterior slightly in joy at the prospect of a feast, even if a small one. He looks at the rest of the party, and responds to Torquato "Oh most definitely! Such things have been neglected for far too long as it is."
Looking to moon, he notices her discomfort and leans closer to her. "It's ok miss moon, I'm sure you'll find something you will enjoy eating and if you think they'll be too much food, sit near me and I'll help finish any for you." He gives an extra smile at the end.

Gordon half-heartedly voices his support of the feast, but he agrees with Serafina’s reaction. Something about this Maya’s demeanor is…not quite real.

Torquato seems relieved by the fact that their former companions are all alive and well, before noticing the discomfort of Gordon and Serafina: "Oh, I get you totally. I can only imagine the chaos that this celebration will entail. I think I will just eat something before retiring to my room to study a few new incantations I meant to try. But you have fun." - he concludes, speaking with Robin.

"Well then, feel free to rest up, wash off the dust from the road, and hopefully we'll see you all at the celebration at nightfall," Sir Karl says. "We'll set up at the local tavern. You all remember The Broken Shield, yes?"

Serafina shakes her head at Robin. "That isn't it," she says softly. "But she looks Silvanesti." And that worried her.

Robin wiggles his nose. Moon was upset. His mind raced, why should she be shy, did Moon like Sir Karl? No, that didn't seem right or was it... Though she... She used to be a servant! Outlandish thoughts that she had been the one to enslave her, or had been a previous owner or had somehow otherwise mistreated Moon made him boil with anger.
Jumping from his seat, he looked squarely at Sir Karl. "We know it. But I must protest! I don't agree with such familial friendliness being shown by your lady friend... Even if she was being very nice and reminding you of the feast... It... Makes... ... Me uncomfortable" Robin lost steam. He wasn't really bothered by the display and she did seem nice, but somehow she had arrived Moon and that needed dealing with. Even if he was unsure what was to come of this, or where it should then go, or what he should say next. Oh what a pickle!

Robin, having temporarily forgotten that not only was Serafina still a slave, but that she belonged to Torquato and his family, not this Maya woman, angrily complains about the affection between the knight and the elf.
Sir Karl clears his throat and quickly tears himself away from Maya's grasp, his face beet red. "Oh, uh, yes, of course, we should, uh, maintain a decorum of professionalism, after all," he stutters.
Maya's face flashed with heartbreak for but a moment, but she quickly masked it and simply nodded, clasping her hands together. "...Of course. I did not mean to make anyone uncomfortable. Excuse me." She then hurries out of the room.
Sir Karl reaches out as if to stop her, but quickly stops himself. "Uh, yes, well...I'll see you all this evening then." He reluctantly sits back at his desk and starts shuffling through his paperwork forlornly.

Serafina turns bright crimson at Robin's outburst. "I'm sorry," she finally says. "He just knew I was uncomfortable, and he was trying to defend me," she explains. "It was nothing that either of you did. I just wasn't expecting to see a Silvanesti woman here." She was assuming that Maya was that, but there was a possibility that she wasn't.

Torquato exhales a sigh. - "Does the mere appearance of appearance of a Silvanesti woman really stirs up such turmoil in you, Serafina?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause trouble," Serafina says softly. It wasn't as if any of the others were in her position, so they didn't quite understand. Explaining seemed kind of pointless too.

Oh dear! His plan to make Moon feel better seems to have gone awry and she still seems upset. He moved back as if to sit but with his legs and posterior against the chair edge he looked to Sit Karl. "I'm sorry Sir Karl. I'm not sure what relationship there is between you and that young lady, I didn't intend for her to need to leave or cause further upset. Maybe .. Umm... I'll leave until tonight and hope to start afresh that we may make our introductions to you and your last then..." With that he moves of from the chair and bows low in readiness to depart.

"No apologies are needed," Sir Karl assures the kender. "Lady Maya is simply...a good friend. I'm sure no offense was had."
