Upon hearing the crash, Cuthalion turned to see the Saucepan Man stealing the show. He grinned broadly and shook his head.
"Now that guy knows how to make an entrance!" he thought as he ordered some club soda, responsibly remembering that he was the designated rider for the evening.
He held out his hand to Maika and they made their way to the buffet in order to stop her belly rumbling. Maika grimaced at all the clattering so they headed for the far end of the line. Several Hobbits elbowed their way past and one tried to sneak a peek under Maika's dress. She slapped him soundly and snarled, "Watch it! It's lucky for you the Orc stopped me on the way in here or you'd have another orifice!" Cuthalion smiled nervously and went to look for a table with a couple of empty seats.
