Eleanor easily notes how the Eagle Masked woman does not care for hunting others for sport, but she sees this horrid event as an opportunity to learn new magic. So if this event doesn't provide new knowledge, than the Eagle Masked might help them...hopefully. She also notes the others at the table. She isn't sure if they can be persuaded to give up this game, and she knows that she would have to be ready to fight back and take a life if need be during this 'game'.

Regardless Mortimer answers her earlier words. She gave a smile and a raised eyebrow at his words about how he would put Stefan in the game as punishment. She knew he just contradicted himself as he was trying to frame this game as something to look forward for this entire meal. Before she could answer, the man in the Bear Mask abruptly stood from his seat and excused himself. She watched the man in the bear mask leave sadly, before she turns her attention back to Mortimer with that same defiant light in her eyes again. 

After Mortimer bids them to enjoy the feast, she does finally get to answer his earlier words about Stefan, her sentence spoken in finality of the topic, "[color=fff79a]Very well, then. For the future: I'm sure Stefan will be more than happy to regale you with how he managed to overpower me in our fight after I gave him my refusal,[/color]"
