It's a lovely bathroom, but Felix thinks the best feature is one of the occupants.

Felix is very flattering.

When they're done it's almost time for them to go eat.

Yes, where are they supposed to go again?

They're supposed to wait, actually, and—

—knock knock.

Felix briefly wonders if he should introduce knock knock jokes to this world. He answers the door.

"Good evening," says a servant wearing a less outrageously pretty and formal version of what the High Consul had worn. "I am to escort you to the dining room."

"Thank you, lead the way."

So he does, taking them to yet another exhaustingly beautiful room. Naoh is already there, shaking like a leaf.

Oh, dear. How is he doing?

Not very well, given the way he jumps when Felix addresses him.

"It's okay. It's just me. Is there anything I can do to help?"

He shakes his head mutely.

"Alright, if you think of something or if anything happens, please let me know?"

Small nod.

Okay. They can wait for phe Bez to arrive.

Which doesn't take long. "Hello, hello!" he greets them as he walks into the room, just as exuberant as before. "I hope I didn't make you wait too long."

"It was no wait at all. How have you been phe Bez?"

"Splendid! I trust you liked your accommodations?"

"They're delightful," Felix says sincerely. "Everything looks so gorgeous."

He beams widely. "Well, let's eat, then," he says, taking a seat at the head of the table. At no command of his, servants appear to serve their food.

Okay, was that another "small deception thing?" or is Felix looking too much into it because Kaede pointed it out?

Regardless, he will accept food and follow etiquette.

Kinda was, but Kaede still think it's most likely just more shows off power and wealth.

phe Bez is an excellent conversationalist and looks genuinely interested in their lives and in the answers to his questions. Naoh isn't as adroit with the etiquette rules as Felix, let alone Kaede, and the High Consul makes no note of this except by a small curling of the corner of his mouth. This Kaede is not so sure is nothing.

"You're rather good at this," he mentions to Kaede when she picks the right fork to use with barely a thought for a particularly fancy dish.

"I'm a fast learner," she replies, smiling.

"Yes, so I see."

"Kaede is a really fast learner," Felix says, voice full of admiration. "It's one of her many, many qualities."

"Mmhm. Very curious," he says, merely raising an eyebrow.

Well that's worrying, she tells Felix.

Because he thinks you are too good at this?
