The small piece of meat had a fairly strong taste to it, a bit of a burning feel on the beef, strong and warming inside. There was a little lighter taste after the heat passed, leaving the meaty taste on the tongue from the bite. "Roasted ox with some ground peppers they seem fond of." Alessa smiled, explaining on and encouraging him to try things out, while her other hand came to gently pet along his closer knee.<br/><br/>At that time Celeste smiled at Gabriel a bit widely, leaning ahead to lift the bottle and pour him some more wine, never removing her other hand from his her thumb gently brushing his hand.

Looking down, but tasting the wine slowly.
