Breakfast, the best time of day. Or at least it used to be. Ramji lifts his cup, sipping tea. His eyes roam over Guunnar's mounded plate in amusement. He slowly shakes his head.

"My friend, where do you put all of that?"

Guunnar looks up from his food. "Vas? Ist chust a little bit."

Ramji looks up as Keon and Cassie come down.

"Have you noticed how different Ke seems? He has even put a blue streak in his hair. Cassie has put a black streak in hers."

The Brownie at the next table looks up, eyes darting to The Dark Lord. Twillon rises from their table and moves to intercept the couple. His demifae companion peeks out from his long blonde hair. Guunnar motions to Cassie and she joins the two Riders.

"Sometink to eat, Cassie? I haff plenty."

Ramji rolls his eyes. "More than plenty," he murmurs.

Cassie laughs and sits in an empty chair. "Guunnar, you picked the biggest table?"

The big man nods. "I vait for du and Keon, Ramji," he nods to the slim dark man sipping tea, "Little Sister, and her Erik." He leans close, "Ve also expecting company. Messengers were sent to those needed." He looks her up and down. "Vas ist das? Du goin punk?" He pushes a plate towards Cassie. "Eat little vone." Cassie frowns and pushes the plate away. "Du must eat. Keep up your strength. Keon wear you out if you not eat."

He frowns, then begins picking out fruits and putting them on her plate, along with cheeses and crackers. A demifae flits down and looks over her plate, much to Cassie's surprise. It nods, salutes, then darts back overhead.

Ramji grins and Guunnar leans close to Cassie. "Dey take der chobs very serious. Protection..." he looks her in the eyes. "for everyone."
