Kalila gives a tired but relieved smile to Gerta when she greets her in the hallway. She follows her downstairs to see the food and the staff. She blushes slightly when her stomach growls and meets everyone of her hunger. Apparently being scared takes a lot of energy. 

Before anything else, Gerta introduced the staff to her. Kalila does give a smile and wave, albeit shyly, and greets the staff in turn, “Hello!” Then Gerta proceeds to begin a prayer. Kalila decides to mimic the rest of the staff and bow her head respectfully during the prayer. There was no sense in causing trouble over a difference in how things are done. 

Besides, there was nothing wrong with giving thanks for the things they’ve been blessed with. 

With Greta’s go ahead, it was time to eat. Of course, Kalila hadn’t forgotten her words last night. Upon seeing that a seat by Gerta is open, she decides to sit there.

When she does so, she speaks to her, “I can’t thank you enough, Gerta. Though, I suppose now is the best time to explain myself?”
