"Thanks," Thessalia said before putting her plate down and moving the seat back a bit before sitting down as ReivaX confirmed that it really was as unoccupied as it looked; only looking up as the quick cough that had preced his words turned out to be ongoing. He seemed to recover quick enough though, as just a few moments later he went on to ask what she was doing here. Poignantly looking from the black-haired swordsman down to the plate before him and then the one before herself, Thessalia answered the question truthfully nonetheless: "Just taking a quick break before heading back out later." Casting a glance across the Inn's various tables as if to make a point, she went on just a moment later. "Sorry to interrupt you, but all the other tables were taken," she explained; refraining from mentioning that he looked like he wanted to keep to himself much like she'd intended. "And you?" Thessalia returned the question; picking up her own knife and fork as she did. Whilst her expression had been mostly neutral and reserved, a look of content did steal its was to her face as she took her first bite - going for the more expensive choice had definitely been the right way to go.
