( despite the crowd, MT doesn't need to wait long- jinx returns a plate, a bowl and a tray of drinks carried by a dutiful indeedee before things get worrying, let alone annoying for non-infinitely patient tree men. )

So, the bowl's for you? I thought maybe a nice salad would be good for you, but we can get more if it's not.

( the salad itself is lovely, with a raspberry vinagarette and a simple blend of salad, vegetables, gogoat cheese and walnuts. the plate, which is for jinx, is some grilled chicken skewers though. jinx knows what she's about. )

Aaaand then Hellebore's carrying some fruit smoothies.
