Blanco leaned over and whispered something to Posco. Then Posco looked up at Lily, much to her delight. Her brown eyes sparkled as she looked into his, almost losing herself in them. Then he dropped his gaze into his teacup again. He mumbled, ""Miss Mira, tell me... us... more about yourself." Then he spoke up a little, turning to her, "Lily, have you finished your supper? Do you want anything more?"
Lily almost did not hear the question, for she could still remember his dark brown eyes looking at her. She missed Mira's answer, but she didn't mind because she had probably already heard it. The part she did hear was, "But...would you like to tell me a little about yourself?" Lily wondered if he would answer or not. In the mean time, she felt it would be a good idea to answer his question.
"Yes, I have quite finished, and I am full. I don't need anything more," she said. She felt rather uncomfortable eating while the others at the table had no food, and pushed the now empty plate towards the middle of the table.
She noticed that Blanco was watching her. She shifted in her seat and gave him a small grin. She wondered why he was staring at her so, and wished he would say or do something, anything, it didn't matter much. She looked around the table, first to Iadarion, who was entirely too merry. She wondered if he was still drunk. Then to Mira, who was watching Posco and waiting for an answer. Finally her eyes rested on Posco and found herself wishing that he would look up at her again...
