William gives a shrug as the presentation wraps itself up. The Warmachines, new helmets in hand, slowly disperse towards the dining room, and you follow the hunger in your stomach there yourself. Unlike when you first entered the room, you are now seated at the raised dias-- and there is just piles and piles of food upon trays, waiting for you there. William takes his seat as head of the Family, and Emma sits next to you.
The offerings today is a motley collection of bug meat casserole, grainmeal, potatoes, and yogurts. You devour all you can, until you feel full-- and you make a sizable dent in the collection of food. You wash it all down with a delicious wine. Sitting content, you listen in on various conversations, mostly out of boredom. Emma and you make small talk as well, but eventually, the two of you rise to head back to her bedroom, excusing yourself from the table. Emma showers, then you.
The night draws on as snow begins to fall outside her window, you lay in bed, watching the fire crackle in the fireplace while Emma finishes her remaining paperwork. Mitch lays in front of the fire, gnawing on a bone.
