"Oh, I'm so sorry. I had no idea you were already having lunch…" Elayne muttered. "Or dinner?"
"We're having a meal this week," Blank replied. "We usually don't eat every day."
"I see," Elayne nodded.
"I apologize, lords. I was too exhausted and ended up falling asleep," Mark sighed.
"That's quite all right," Silvester shrugged. "We were discussing business. If you don't mind, I would be glad if you joined us. Especially since you seem to be the ones behind all the crop production. You're the most important here."
"O-Oh, really?" Elayne asked in surprise. "Well, thank you for your kind words. I'll sit down, then, if you don't mind."
"Me too," Mark added, taking a seat.
"Hello, big sis!" Lisette greeted her cheerfully. "I've been eating lots of Nether Beast meat. It's delicious!"
"Yes, it certainly is," Blank agreed. "Why don't you have a meal while we discuss some important matters?"
"Oh, okay. Thank you," Elayne said, settling in.
