Natalie let herself relax as Sarah grabbed her hand, glad for her friend's reassurances, and grinned as they hurried toward the kitchen, giving Erik a shy smile as Sarah led her toward him, resisting the urge to turn and hurry back to her room for something to cover herself with.  She didn't think Sarah was trying to set them up, but noticed Arianna and Jacob talking, so attributed the leading to politeness.  Even if Sarah had been trying to start something, Natalie knew she meant well by it, and wasn't angry.<br/><br/>She watched Sarah make her way outside, before turning back to Erik.  "I don't know a lot about cooking, but I learn things pretty quick if I get decent directions," she said, trying to keep a straight face and concentrate on the first part of her statement, rather than the implications that could be taken from the rest of it, given what this wek was for, and how little everyone was wearing.
