"You are the first in a long time to have seen my face."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Galen murmurs, shadow of a smile crossing his face before he gestures to her plate "Please, eat."

"I'll take that as a compliment. Please, eat."
Seeing the light flicker behind his smile her gaze softens just a little before she looks at the food, and takes a moment to relish in the smell of it. Nostalgia rose again, reminding her of a time before she became a cleric, and with those memories in mind, she begins to eat quietly.

Reaching across the table, Galen pours himself some wine, eyes flicking to her "Would you like some as well?"

"Would you like some as well?"
She picks up the glass and holds it out with a small smile, having not had any in quiet some time. "Please. The food is magnificent."

"Please. The food is magnificent."
"Thank you." Galen states softly, pouring her about half a glass full, trying not to give the wrong impression, lips pursed

"Thank you."
She smiles and sits back, taking a sip as she studies him. "Where did you learn to cook so well, Commander?"

"Where did you learn to cook so well, Commander?"
Raising his fork to his lips, he pauses, food about halfway there before his arm lowers, small smile crossing his face "A fellow knight, who informed me mine was tasteless and burnt."

"A fellow knight, who informed me mine was tasteless and burnt."
"A rather bold statement to tell another knight," she says lightly, setting her glass down. "But you certainly have come a far way if that's how it tasted in the beginning."

"A rather bold statement to tell another knight. But you certainly have come a far way if that's how it tasted in the beginning."
"She's always been bold, strong." Galen murmurs, smile fading after a moment, clears his throat, small laugh "I tried."

"She's always been bold, strong. I tried."
"Your and her efforts paid off." She watches as she starts to see a different side of him, a more relaxed side, her blue eyes keen.

"Your and her efforts paid off."
"Good to know someone can appreciate my cooking." Galen murmurs, lips twitching before he takes a bite of the meat, falling silent for a moment

Taking several bites, Zaire mulls over his change in demeanor, and a change in his heart that is now visible to her.

"Forgive me for asking Mage, but why haven't you married? You're beautiful, you have an occupation." Galen asks quietly, gaze down

"Forgive me for asking Mage, but why haven't you married? You're beautiful, you have an occupation."
At the question her fork lowers, her gaze on the table in front of her as she tries to figure out how to explain it. "I was married, once," she says quietly. "But it was some time ago."

"I was married, once. But it was some time ago."
"Apologies." Galen murmurs, falling silent, eating so he doesn't press the issue, valuing privacy highly
