[Peace is sweet, Eridanus decides, and it earns a soft laugh from him as he watches her face twist around the words and ideas.]
Cake it is. I'll make sure they bring something good.
[And, as if summoning their food with those words alone, two waiters bring them their entrees in a flourish. The food is set before them, with scents of fresh herbs and garlic wafting on its steam. Eridanus does not move to grab his fork just yet, instead favoring the merlot that is poured to a polite level once more by one of the waiters before they leave.]
You are precisely right, and even I know that Rosefica is nothing if not protective of our family. Unfortunate for her that she married into a family of nothing but strife, yet, I cannot find pity for her there. She did know of my past — somewhat — before we married, and had it not been for this peninsula, the rest of my skeletons would have stayed locked in the closet where I meant them.
[He pauses to sip his wine,] I plan to speak with her soon, we've a match of fethesi to play together.
