Alice sat down at the table and looked up and down it. "Wow." She filled her plate with various foods and looked at her goblet, "Could it be?" She asked herself. Taking a drink her eyes lit up, *mmm, forgot how good things taste here.* She smiled and began picking at her food, trying one thing, then another. She looked at each house table, and saw Alex sitting at his. *It was nice of him to talk to me again.* She thought. Her face broke into a huge grin and she looked over the staff table, still picking absently at her plate. |
