Cecilia's joy was quite palpable. She could hardly contain it. But she managed pretty well. "I'm glad you like it! Take your time alright?" she said. This felt like an achievement in and of itself. But for fear of ruining the moment, Cecilia tried to quietly pick out a chair nearby, nodding at James to join her. "I'm relieved we went with the fruit then. I'd be more than happy to take the dishes back when you're done, alright?" She could rest easy with the most nerve-wracking part now over. She looked to James for a moment, nostalgically remembering a promise she made on the first day. He may have forgotten, be she hadn't. And few things would make her happier than for James to make friends here as well. Just then, Neric hopped on onto the table, taking the form of a bunny, which coaxed a good chuckle from her. "[i]Aww Neric[/i], you were feeling neglected, weren't you?" she teased, her hand coming over to pet him around the back.
