Ma'ai was still laughing rather loudly when he hurried to get up and help Chrissa. "Wait wait, no need to do that! I'll take care of it, it's partly my fault." But she'd already left again and Ma'ai wasn't entirely sure she'd heard him. By now the trio were receiving funny looks from others here in the cafeteria and Ma'ai promptly shut up. The smirk remained plastered between his cheeks, however, when he began swiping the tabletop clean and collecting the crumbs in his hand so he could properly dispose of the mess. Ma'ai paused when Anuriel whispered to him, and a wicked grin tugged at the edge of his lips. It disappeared as quickly as it had come though since Ma'ai didn't want to give away the little secret. "Is that why he's been so quiet?" he whispered back. Without waiting for an answer, Ma'ai straightened up and promptly left to find a bin to dump the crumbs in. He returned shortly afterward, clean hands and all, then sat down to eat the soup Chrissa had brought him. It smelled delicious and he'd been dying to taste it since she first brought it.
