[Hider=Obligated 4th Wall Break]Lance sat in wonder as he realized, he'd been eating for over two days! But he wasn't getting any fuller, and the food and wine hadn't been dissappearing either! His jaw was starting to get sore. Looking around, he realized that the idle coversations and small talk had stopped. The room was silent. Not to mention, nobody was moving. The old man Gioberto, looked like he was frozen in place, an almost desperate look on his face. The conversing girls weren't moving either. The monks were all stuck in several positions, like they were clay models. Lance felt a little unsettled. He was getting worried about the situation he was in. What had happened here while he was eating?[/hider]

I just don't want to move ahead and make it seem as if I'm ignoring the Empress since she was the one who initiated conversation. PLus we might have a new person in our little group of misfits, so there's that too.
