</div><br/><div style="text-align: center">《 Armando &amp; Marcia》<br/>
Location: Abendblume<br/>
Present: Rebel <a class="username" data-user-id="6997" data-username="Traveler" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6997/">Traveler</a>​</div><br/>"It is hard to imagine people haven't seen that side of things now, but many of the people in Abendblume have been shielded from that. A blessing," Armando pointed out. "Thank you, Rebel, for reaching out. You need to be careful with Alvaro. You need to be careful with Hale as well, and not provide too much opposition or too much change too quickly. I don't want to see you make yourself a target or to undo your growth within the community." He would be a good man to have helping bring about some change. With more people working towards the same goal it felt more accomplishable.<br/><br/>"That is a good idea, I think. You<i> should</i>get out a bit. We will plan something with the kids," Marcia suggested to her brother. "I don't think it will be permanent either. Your work shoulders the weight of three men. That is why Hale had to replace you with three, but, when you do resume I will be happy to see you working with others so you don't have to take on such an extreme workload. This change," she nodded towards Rebel, "It is a good thing." She looked over to the untouched plates, a frown forming on her lips.<br/><br/>"Why aren't either of you eating? Please, this isn't a formal meeting," Marcia insisted. Generally, business wasn't conducted over a meal in Brazilian culture. Had they been waiting on her? She looked between both men, realizing that subconsciously she'd been waiting on them. She was used to the man eating first, making sure he approved and was comfortable, before she situated herself to properly enjoy her meal. Had she been doing the same with Armando and not realizing it? Armando apologized, admitting that he was waiting for her to conduct the morning prayer as she usually did before a meal.<br/><br/>"Oh, I didn't know if.." she glanced towards Rebel.<br/><br/>Armando gave Marcia a look that said Rebel's presence was irrelevant to their way of doing things. He needed his faith more than ever and it was their home. They could conduct things as they wished and if Rebel did not want to participate, he did not have to. He took his sister's hand, and she looked over to offer her hand to Rebel.<br/><br/>"Louvamos-te, oh Deus, pelas bençãos que nos dá por meio de Cristo, nosso Senhor.  Agradecemos pela alimento que está em nossa mesa. Amém," Marcia offered in prayer.<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">

</div><br/>"Thank you, Marcia."<br/><br/>Marcia let go of Armando's hand to reach for her fork. The food was still warm and savory, the bread soaking up the oil and seasonings. She broke the yolk so the flavors could mingle and took a bite.
