"No, not at all. My apologies it's just that I returned from a tedious journey not long ago and I do believe I am in need of rest." Ma'ai wasn't gonna lie and say everything was perfectly fine, fearing it may only come around to bite him in the rump later if this conversation dragged out longer than necessary. Though he calculated that he could continue chatting for a little while; he didn't mind Damien so much, plus he fully intended to finish every last bit of his chowder and not allow any to go to waste. "It was no problem at all" the angel finally added when Damien thanked him for his advice. Ma'ai certainly was no expect on the subject but he tried to help where he could. That's when Anuriel returned. "Would you two like some privacy?" he asked. Ma'ai was being courteous of course but there was a small part of him inside that hoped they said no so that he wouldn't have to relocate tables.
