Trillen looked at Kate, a pained expression on his face. Shaking his head, he turned to look at Ann. A smile graced his lips as he bowed low to her. He didn't have too. He knew that, but he felt like it was needed. "Thank you Ann. I do not know if Trudy has said thank you yet, so I am thanking you for the both of us." He knew sometimes that foods varied from region to region. Just the fact that Ann tried so hard to fix something that very well may not be available in this region put her into his respects even more.<br/><br/>Gathering up his courage, he reached out and offered his hand to Lady Kate. "Would you do me the honor of accompanying me to dinner? I believe that is how I should ask in a polite setting?" Practice where he could. Practice makes perfect or at the very least, it would allow him to do actions without causing embarrassment to her.
