Clutching the blanket around her with both hands, Cris waited for someone to tell her that yes, she could have some food. She rolled back and forth on the balls of her feet, looking around to the four corners of the room. With no answer incoming however, and the hot bowls of sweetened oats oh so tempting....well, she could always apologize, and if she had already eaten. Plus if she was quick enough...<br/><br/>She grabbed one of the bowls and began to eat, as quickly and as quietly as possible, retreating into the corner to do so. It tasted sooo good, she hadn't eaten, well it felt like forever. She jumped when the elven woman entered the kitchen, holding the half eaten bowl to her chest guiltily, her lips stained with oats. However the elf didn't seem to mind, even offering her some ale to wash it all down, and so she accepted.<br/><br/>Cris looked at her, the eyes, her expressive, only vaguely aware of its complexity. She saw someone friendly, the face of the woman who had saved her and the others from execution, and a painful one at that. She politely ignored the scars, the exposed flesh, and raised the offered mug. “Cris,” she drank deeply. “Thank you for rescuing us all. How are the others?” she asked in Eleven. It was rare she had the opportunity to use her mother's tongue.<br/><br/>A final, large spoonful of oats, and then the last of the ale. She hid the empty bowl and mug behind her, and hugged her knees to her chest, the tightly wrapped blanket making this awkward. “So you're a Raven? How long have you lived here? Is it true the Ravens killed 50 demons at Mason's Crossing?” she'd heard the story a dozen times, but after the scene at the execution, and lying there in the infirmary bed, she truly thought it was possible. “Do you have some clothes I can wear?<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Maybe a bit...longer than yours?</span>” she squeaked. She didn't want to offend the woman, but she couldn't imagine wearing something like that, but she did want to get out of this blanket. It was starting to itch.
