Nyra shot her host a slight pout as he laughed. She finished her toast in delicate bites to keep up the broken illusion that she did not feel close to famished, taking the time to brush the crumbs from her fingers while studying the plate left on the tray. It was more food than she could handle after surviving on scraps for so long, but part of her was still tempted to shove everything on it into her mouth was abandon. Reining in such foolish impulses she finally settled into the empty chair already at the table and took another piece of toast off the plate, this time adding a piece of meat and taking a bite, her eyes briefly closing as she savored the taste.

"You have close ties to the surface, I take it?" she asked after a bit in an attempt at small talk. Ordinarily she was content to eat in silence when being fed at the mercy of someone else's generosity but Kai struck her as being the friendly, talkative sort. She could tolerate a bit of conversation. An unconscious part of her was even willing to admit it was just because she was starting to like the sound of his voice, her ears still ringing with the warm echoes of his laughter.
