Zot was quietly nodding in agreement as the girls conversed. He wasn't sure he had much to offer the conversation that hadn't already been said at this point. Besides, he didn't think they'd appreciate him speaking around the wonderful stew the few times he had thought of something. He would have gotten smacked for manners back home had he done so. He paused eating every so often to take a decent pull off his mug. The beer was delightfully refreshing and definitely not as sweet as the skin of wine they had insisted he travel with.
No, this was exactly the kind of meal he had hoped for upon arriving: warm, filling, and delightful. Yes, those were his chosen adjectives for this moment. And the company didn't hurt either. With that in mind, he looked up and smiled at both Cara and Kimberly.
"Yes, absolutely delicious," he said in agreement. The meat was tender and fresh, the potatoes and carrots were as well. And the broth, oh Lord the broth was a perfect compliment to it all. "If you don't mind me asking Miss Kimberly, how long have you been here waiting for school? You seem to have a great amount of knowledge of the trading post so I was curious."
