Following Thessalia's question, a second of silence followed as she'd caught ReivaX mid-mouthful - though his answer thereafter didn't surprise her much; it being much the same reason as her own. Thinking about what to say in return, Thessalia couldn't find much more than a simple "I see" in return - and falling into silence after that; the only sounds coming from the players all around or the cutlery being used. Despite this very thing - a quiet lunchtime break - having been exactly what she'd been hoping for, the kind of quiet that hung between two people at the same table was quite a different thing from what she'd been anticipating. Passing off the silence by simply continuing with her meal, she occasionaly glanced up at the other table occupant or the other patrons of the inn - even as she realised that, despite having been stuck here in Aincraf for over a month now, she had yet to really hold much of a conversation or spend time with other people. An inaudible sigh came over her lips at that realisation - and the next one thereafter: she was still her quiet old self that felt uncomfortable around strangers.

Glancing over the various other tables as another guest passed the table she was sitting at, she wondered if it might not be better to try and actually go about making some friends - after all, it could hardly be that absolutely everyone in the world harboured ill intentions; even in such a life-or-death environment - and after some had already showed the opposite to be true. For a moment, she considered the option - but then, with a small shake of her head as if to clear it of such thoughts, decided against it. It really just wasn't something for her, it seemed, asThessalia concluded. It was only then that she also noticed her own plate had lost most of the meal it had carried - a large portion having been eaten as she wasn't paying attention. Seeing that, she looked up across the table - unsure if the other occupant, the black-haired swordsman, had, in her longer-than-anticipated state of being lost in thought, broken the silence or perhaps even simply left the table altogether.
