She marveled at the softness of his skin, the brush of lips against her hand so stately, so formal, and yet so intimate. She realized then a blush rising to her cheeks. Ducking her head, she clasped her hands together and watched the servants entering in a bustle of activity. The smell of freshly cook turkey reached her nostrils, and the hunger in her stomach panged to life.
"That smells wonderful! Oh thank you so much!" Sounding a bit like a little girl, Adriana rushed to the table, eyeing the delicate desserts. She sat and began, without no ceremony at all, to serve herself a portion of turkey, wielding the utensils like a slightly drunk swordsman. All the same, she managed to get a sizable chunk onto her plate, and hastily put a large bite into her mouth. Instantly warm flavors flooded her senses, the taste of spices and herbs she did not recognize tantalizing her. Eyes half-lidded, she chewed quietly, swallowed, and took a sip of water to wash it down.
"That's simply divine, I tell you," she said softly. Her hunger momentarily abated, her eyes lighted on Keldon once again. They seemed to wont to do that, but she blushed, and smiled warmly to him before turning her attention back to the plate of food before her.
