Jonathan listened politely to Stefan as he corrects him. He started to mention his family and that his father had died when Stefan was a boy. Jonathan could easily sympathize with him. He too knows the excruciating pain of losing a parent. He knew that he was lucky too lose his mother when he was an adult and not as a boy. When you lose a loved as a child it is harder to take in and it can cause prolonged effects one one's emotional stability and, in some cases, psychological ability. Even though Jonathan was a fully fledged adult that has aced the psyche evaluation at police academy and has also seen a cop-buddy or two killed in his precinct, he still can't handle his mother's death. She was innocent in everything. She has given her life and soul to her family and has never majorly sinned anyone without reason but she still got killed in a gang attack that she was oblivious of. She deserved a better death than that. She needed one that would have honored her effort to her loved ones but instead she was gunned down like a pig without dignity. His understanding of Stefan's loss made him nod at him in sympathy.

"I am sorry for your loss. I too know the feeling of losing a parent...I lost my mother a couple of years ago." He then takes a quick drink of whatever was in the cup in front of him. It was unfortunately not alcohol. He continues. "It's not easy handling the death of a parent, isn't it? Someone who took time to raise you, teach you right and wrong and tell you to stop chewing with your mouth full." He gave a small smile at the very end of his sentence but it disappeared as he continues. "Parents who took time to teach us these lessons deserve a long and healthy life. It's harder to handle their death when you know it isn't what they deserve and it becomes a fucking anvil on top of your head when you have to bury them. I have great condolences for you Stefan. Men should be burying their parents. Not boys." 

He raises his glass of water towards Stefan and nods at him. It was a thankful nod. He hasn't emphasized something like that to anybody for a while now. He feels Stefan is a good man and he hopes he can trust him in future. "To parents." He then takes a drink of his water.

The room was then met when a barrage of waiters came through to the dining room from the kitchen with plates and bowls full of food. They led it on the table in front of everyone. It was quite a delicious sight. It was a mixture of meat, vegetables, fruit, fish, bakery, dairy etc. It was a very broad range of food that contains nearly everything to everyone's taste. Quite clever of the host thought Jonathan. The host would have been unsure of what everyone's preferences are when it comes to dinner, so he brought a wide variety for everyone to choose. This tells Jonathan that the host wants to comfort his guests and be prepared for them. It tells him that the job must be either so important or so difficult that he has the need to butter the guests up. Speaking of butter, he has noticed a large dish of ham and chicken pie was right in front of him with a savory looking butter melting on top of it. Jonathan licked his lips in minor excitement and took himself a slice of pie for his plate. Others seem to be sitting down as well. This may be the first time that everyone is in a room together on this island and this hopefully may prompt our mysterious host to reveal himself.
