Raefindan looked up as Mellonin savored her drink. "Mettle spoons. It reminds me of Nettle. Nettle spoons... Ouch. That sounds like a very uncomfortable way to eat."
He decided to change the subject slightly. "I remember that I didn't walk very long distances the way people here commonly do. Somehow, traveling was less time consuming. I'm not certain how or why."
"You rode horses." Mellonin shrugged.
"Not normally."
"Mumak?" she said, alarm in her voice.
Raefindan laughed. "No. No Mumakil."
She relaxed. "But where did you ride to?"
"Classes."
She frowned.
And so did he, putting his head into his hands. "I don't understand. I can't remember."
"Eat, " she said. "How about some more soup?"
He sighed. "Please."
She got up to fetch a round of seconds, and he stared at the table.

"I'm sorry, Melonnin," Raefindan said. "I thihk it's high time for me to get some sleep. I'm sorry about the soup, but I've lost my appetite. I haven't touched it. Please feel free to put it back in the pot."
Raefindan started heading towards the stairs.

"Raefindan? Weren't you sleeping out in the loft?" Mellonin called after him.
Groggily, he swayed back down the stairs, one hand to his head. "The loft. Of course." He headed out the back kitchen door. "Quieter out there, " she sighed, and retired soon afterwards.
