Ilene took greedily her bowl of soup as it was given her by Ari and started to eat. The hot foot made wonder to her and soon her face started to blush caused by the inner heat from her stomach. It was by this time she noticed Rose. Ilene had mixed feelings for Rose, on one hand she really liked the woman she was so like herself in so many ways and she felt that Rose even inspired her being the free soul she was. Rose wasn't bound by any man nor did she seem to care what people said behind her back. Ilene knew that more or less whispered behind her own by some and she leaned against Rose when trying to learn how to deal with it... not that Rose would give any answers. On the other hand she didn't like Rose at all, to Ilene she was a competitor for attention of another degree than Ari and Reya... their beauty was impossible for Ilene to compete with so she only had one way...<br/><br/>She was just finished with her food when the door came up and Xholkrox entered followed by an older T'skrang. Not that Ilene noticed the other one, Xholkrox was all she could see. He was so handsome this evening and the flushing to her cheeks brightened forcing herself to concentrate on something else but him... which itself was impossible. Somewhere inside she even wished he would walk out from there making it possible for her to think again. Of course he didn't, instead he stroke up to the table and sat beside Garashana. Ilana lowered her eyes swallowing hard hoping that her voice would hold, she would hate it to make a fool of herself in front of Xholkrox. She kept her eyes at the table not looking at anything until she heard his voice asking her if she wanted an Ale. Looking up she made the mistake of looking into his eyes and her tongue thickened and her hands became sweaty.<br/><br/>"Y-yes." She managed to blurb out and at once she felt as the greatest fool there was. She did hear that he had something about her beauty but that was as he always spoke and with Ari present she knew that he didn't really ment it as such. It was then she actually noticed that the older T'skrang had been offered a seat by them as well.<br/>
