The Exalt sighed moving her hand away, she refused to respond to the comment. This could be the last time she would see her children, she just wanted a meal with them in peace. Caroline sighed looking over at Jacob. "So would care to introduce mother and I to the girl clinging to your arm like a lost puppy?" Caroline could be a bit stuck up, but she care for the people. Andres sat quietly now, observing the girl, you get the feeling he plans to test anyone who wishes to get to know his apprentice better. Either he's looking out for the boy or wants a excuse to fondle and talk to young women, possibly both. As they spoke the food arrived, a traditional Ylissian Royalty favorite, bear. Jacob groaned, his mother had a obsession with it, she hunted them in her youth. The meat was served in cuts as hot vegetables and wine were brought to each guest. Jacob looked at the man who was leaving. "My mother and sister do not mean to be rude, it's just that we wish to spend sometime together, I've been away for awhile, it's not about soldier and nobles, it's about family. After all soon we will all be dining together as we march towards Ferox." With that he sighed and took a very large gulp of wine. He hoped Marianne would let go or at least take the chair beside him.
