Connor was sat quite near to Mr. Hemingway, near the end of the table, with the Captain on his right. His every movement was nothing but focus into the presentation at hand as he feasted upon the fine meal provided. His own plate was Brahmin rib roast, soaked in beef broth and seasoned liberally with garlic and parsley. To the side is Appalachian-style green beans seasoned with pepper, and with it was fried okra. While dining, he took the odd drink of California red wine from an ornate glass, all the while proving immersed in the proposition.

"None." Connor commented, a warm smile upon his face as he answered the question of input.

The Captain was of course sat right of Ambassador Connor, dining on his own meal. In contrast to Connor's dinner, Riley had his own ideas. The main course was grilled poultry drowned in Appalachian-style sausage gravy. On the side was a collection of neat buttermilk cornbread squares, along with a buttered corn-on-the-cob. As for his drink, it was simply fine beer, of no real specification other than its extreme quality. The Captain stayed rather silent during the presentation itself, staying immersed nonetheless.
