Not what I was expecting... or imagined, hoped and for that matter prayed.
The dining hall was huge! I mean like you could have put the whole facility I escaped from in here. Though there was only the three of us in the room, Eir lead us to the opposite end of the table from where we entered, past a large fire place.
Finally we arrived at the opposite end of the room and found Aldi sitting comfortably almost like she was watching us as we approached. I know she is blind but she is very perceptive, note to self don't let your guard down around her.
Eir spoke letting her know who surprise it was just the two of us was here. It was funny Eir spoke slightly louder than when it was just me around, it was only slightly louder but enough to know that she had jumped a few octaves. She had really been quite before.
I need to let her get louder or she might get suspicious.
"Welcome Lady Alexis, Eir. Come sit, it is not often that we entertain guests. Not since the last visit from young Sif, and that was some time ago. But for a warrior of her caliber is truly needed in these times."
Eir stopped at the last chair and pulled it back for me to take a seat, and then she took the one across from me while Aldi was at the tables head.
"Dear are you not uncomfortable with your cloak on?" Ok props where there due. Unless Eir was telling Aldi what was happening in her mind, it could happen right?
"No, no I'm fine." I said hoping she would drop it there, she did and just smiled.
"Well if we are already let us eat, I fear that long trek up the mountain has left my stomach wanting."
Not a lot of things surprise me in a good way. When I was back at the lab and I got a surprise I was more than likely not going to enjoy it. At best I passed out quick, at worst I was awake from the 'surprise' and it lasted a long time.
This was nothing like that. Aldi waved her hand and then the table, the part we were sitting at filled with fruits, pies, baked breads, a large boar, and pheasant.
I want to cry.
I gaped; I mean really this was… I had never seen this much food. I think I wanted to cry, I had completely forgotten the fact that an old lady had just waved her hands and food came out of know where. Look when your someone like me and you have lived your life on the verge of starving for most of it you don't care where the food comes from.
I saw Aldi begin taking her fill, as did Eir. Then I began to help myself, I noticed that I was eating like I had never been feed in my life. I like to think of it as making up for lost time, then I slowed down after catching myself. Both Eir and Aldi didn't seem to take much offence to this, or the portions that I was eating.
I tried everything, the pies, the boar, sweet fruits and some type of sweat drink that had a bit of a bit to it and made me fill kinda light headed after my 5th, I decided to slow down after that one.
There was one dish I stayed clear of, the pheasant. Now I'm not against it, but there was enough food to feed a family of ten people, not ten bird people mind you but I elected to skip the pheasant and still be the little glutton winged girl I dreamed about.
It was some time later I leaned back in my chair finally full, it was a surprise to me that I could get full but surprise, surprise you can. I highly suggest everyone at some point in life, if the opportunity arises, eat till your to full and ready to pop.
Sorry for not posting on Friday or even Saturday i was sick and stuck in BWI airport. Not my best day.
