Nox couldn't resist a chuckle as he watched her. Shaking his head, the teenage mercenary looked down to his own food. Bouillabaise was very rich, and he could never stomach something to decadent. Quite literally: Last time he tried to eat it, he threw up.

Gently pushing the dish to the side, he gently picked up the wine glass and sniffed it. It was a good stock, but something to him was off. Setting it back down, the student looked at the heir. A grin that brooked trouble spread across his features.

"Mr. Silas, how much do you trust your chefs?" The question was phrased innocently, but there was no mistaking the message.

"Erm..." The heir looked at his food uneasily, now doubting his chefs. The merc was having a bit too much fun.

"Because, after all. Wouldn't it be easy for someone to slip a bit of poison in? Unless of course, your chefs are as good as rumored."

Tristan smirked, looking at his breach in protocol. He gestured towards Nox's currently untouched food. It was considered a rude gesture to not eat the food in front of you provided by the host.

"If you would try some, then you'd understand those rumors are true. Is there something wrong, Mr. Caeruleus?"

Cold laughter flowed from his lips. He'd watched others play this game for a long time. It was refreshing to get into it himself.

"I am simply saving room for the main course, Heir. After all, the spread looks delicious. Though, some foods are considered off limits to all but the guests." The heir's eyes narrowed the slightest, understanding the hidden meaning. Nox's eyes remained the same.

"But, often those restricted are the sweetest to taste."

"And yet, some dishes can bite back." That confused Tristan, who decided to converse with Tianee instead of continuing the back and forth.

He waited until the two finished up their appatizers, and then Tristan gave the signel for the main course. It was quite simple: point out a dish to a servant, and have it brought out to you fresh and warm.

He turned to Tianee, and smiled. "I see that you're enjoying the meal."
