It was an unprecedented scene, a Great Hall filled with both elves and demons, all collected together under the semblance of peace.  Most of the people there had never expected something like that, to be sitting with beings they had been fighting to the death not long ago.  Now they were to raise glasses, to eat and break bread and<i>talk</i>.<br/><br/>There was plenty of conversation, but most of it was between elves; they only glanced at their demon table partners occasionally, whispering comments and remarks to each other, or chatting about the treaty and its supposed contents.  Some voices were indifferent, but many were shaded with disappointment, irritation, even malice.<br/><br/>The voices turned to gasps and murmurs as the demons began to eat, so voracious and intense in their enjoyment that the elves could only see this as further proof of the demons being like beasts.  It was completely unlike the elvish attitudes, their etiquette and polite behavior, and while the demons dug in, the grey figures around them picked and sampled at their food, using delicate utensils to taste each tiny morsel.<br/><br/>Tamlin watched Ranuk begin to devour the boar's leg-- a whole leg, but then again, Ranuk was large and probably could eat plenty more-- and then made his own plate of fruits and small pies.  He didn't want to eat much, still nervous and on edge from the day, but he could feel his stomach telling him to feed itself.  Naviin's plate had little, his appetite gone.<br/><br/>From Ursalo's seat, he would spy Jera sitting at a table farther back, on the outskirts of the party.  He was seated next to a much darker elf with white, wavy hair; the two seemed to be familiar, and the redhead looked busy telling a story to the other.  He glanced over, saw the snake's stare, and gave him a grin and a small wave-- just a quick one, it wasn't a good idea to draw too much attention.  Then the dark one beside him signed something in question and he had to turn his attention back to the other, proving Tamlin's previous statement that some elves did indeed use trade sign regularly.
