Prince Shamir blinked at the Dwarf's appearance; Dwarves were rare in his home country, as far as he knew. So he greeted Garanin with a wave and a smile, saying, "Good to meet you, Mr. Stonechewer! I hope we can -" 

But Garanin had already begun gathering food before Shamir can continue. Finding a section of the buffet that contained Manakish and Pita Bread, Chicken, Beef, as well as Couscous, Shamir began putting food into plates; this was more lavish than his old family palace! Then, he would go to the 'foriegn' sections of the buffet wheresmall bits of raw fish on rice were, drawn to those by curiosity. He would then, with clean hands, take one of the delicacies and pop it into his mouth, smiling as he tasted the texture of the raw fish treated with vinegar (he can taste the latter) and coldness so that it would not cause disease.

"This is heavenly!" he said, as he put more on a spare plate, then, with a heavy load, went to where Garuda may have ended up sitting, set his burden down, and began eating. He was going to need all the energy he can in order to learn tomorrow...
