Roberto smiled and sat down. The soup had been changed out, and because they'd been gone so long, they missed the salad course, it was a roasted quail rimmed with baby carrots and grilled onions. Roberto grabbed one of the quails legs, ripped it free and turned to offer it to Tora, "Will cooked bird bones hurt you, Senor Gato?"
The woman on the other side of Roberto grimaced again, using her knife and fork to cut a small bite of meat from the bird.

Tora gave Roberto a hard look. He was no one's housecat. He moved over to sit next to Violet again.

The pirate looked to Violet, "Does he not like bird meat?"

"His name is Tora," Violet replied. "He would prefer if you call him such. Do you want quail?" the question was directed to Tora.

Tora shook his head. He didn't want Roberto's anyway. He wasn't Roberto's pet.

"Perdone, Excuse me, Senor Tora..." Roberto nodded then shrugged, "I thought you might like to try the quail..." He stuffed the entire leg into his mouth. The bare bone sticking out of the side of his mouth. "I do not know your opinion... but I prefer the taste of bird, over stag or elk... I thought you might like to try a small bit..."

"I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted me to purr too..." Tora thought to himself bitterly. He remained seated protectively next to Violet.

As if hearing Tora's thoughts he looked to Violet and asked, "Can he purr like normal cats? Or have you never heard that? Are the rest of his... people like him, or a country of big gatos with wings, or is everyone different but with wings?"
Mit looked around Violet, "Roberto... I don't think you should keep up this line of questioning..."
"Tranquilo, amante de tierra. No hay nada incorrecto con estas preguntas. Trato sólo de aprender más." Roberto replied quickly seeming to have sobered up quickly. "Please Senorita Violet, would you answer my questions?"
"He said, 'Quiet, land-lover. There is nothing wrong with these questions. I am just trying to learn more.'," Ambersky thought into both Violet and Tora's heads.

Violet's smile faded. She didn't like the tone of his questions. "I have never been to Tora's homeland. I met him after he left there."

Tora's eyes narrowed and his feathers ruffled threateningly from where he sat.

Roberto leaned back, thumbing his nose, thoughtfully, "To bad... I would like to know what the place he came from is like..." He grinned not noticing her distaste for this subject, "Must be the adventurer in me... I want to see all the oddities in this world..." He chuckled, "No offense Senor Tora... And If you do not mind me saying, Senorita Violet... You and Senor Mitica's people... you are all different the the... hadas... lamentable, excuse me... The Fae I know from the south... The are not so pretty, or... safe."

"Si..." He paled visibly, "I saw one from a distance once... it was a... Cervato... Um... A being that is man and goat... A trickster... It... had tricked a small child out into a Hadas ring... A Fae ring... And de creature... It ate de bebé..." He looked down seeming older then he was. He crossed himself, his voice stricken with grief, "Estrella... Dios me perdona para no proteger usted, pequeña hermana..."
Ambersky looked down, and Mitica looked away. Ambersky didn't translate.
The woman snorted, looking appalled as she had all night, "Do not say the lords name in vein, or are you such a b*****d you can not even pay respects to our religion!"
Roberto stiffened, but didn't move.

"he is mourning the loss of a child's life," Violet said, sharply. "If calling upon him in remembering such a time is vain, then your God is neither kind nor merciful." Her gaze was cold.
