Lusius look around as Shai ran about setting the table on the one remaining surface they had in the common room, a rather small end table that didn't leave much room for snacks. Still there wasn't any problem with putting dishes and plates on the floor as long as nobody gave them a swift kick. It was then that he realized all the work she had put into making this. Sure he got it started up, but she made the amount of work he put in look like almost nothing.

The smells were splendid and he wanted to dig in even before Shai said to do so. As she was away in the kitchen he leaned over the food and took a few inquisitive sniffs, looking to find any hints of poison. Though it wasn't due to any distrust of her, but more of a nature habit. ANy offered gift could be a trick made to end you, especially one made by a witch. It didn't matter if the witch who gave it was kind, sweet, cute, adorable... Uh... It didn't smell like poison...

Reaching over he took a fork to stab a peice of egg, but before he ate it he looked over his shoulder at Shai who was busy trying to clean up the kitchen, [color=red]"Hey stop that! We have food that's getting cold and the dishes will be fine."[/color] He called out to her hoping to get some company for this meal.

From there he decided to take a few bites of the eggs as well as some of the bacon. Simple things but always favorites for him. Though when he was warned about the tea he picked up his cup and immediately felt the warmth slipping through the clay cup. Taking a few breaths to try and cool the top he took a sniff of it once again on instinct to avoid being poisoned, but then took a sip to see the tastes she spoke of. In fact... She was right and it did taste good. Of course he had no idea about Giner Roots or Mint, but at least this tasted good.

When Shai showed up to join him he quick his feasting to look directly at her and even into her eyes to do something that he didn't really have a chance to yet, [color=red]"Thank you... For all of this Shai."[/color]
