(Should I try to start? I've been kinda waiting due to lack of inspiration and knowledge of the setting, but I can try if you guys want me to)

((I think maybe you can just have him walk in, prob me or spec can describe the area))

Kiaane has literally been doing nothing productive. Part of that stems from the fact they don't really know where anything is. After finding coffee, they basically didn't talk any more and just went around, wandering. As they usually stuck to routine, they don't seem the most comfortable with the turn of events. However, at least their silence is pretty accustomed to by their fellow guild members, hopefully none of which try to strike up a conversation with the awkward young man.
However, by the ending time of their venture, they've at least gotten accustomed enough to the surroundings that they're wandering back to the kitchen. Unfortunately for the narrator, they just remembered Kiaane doesn't really eat healthily/take care of themselves, so they're probably going back for bean water. Someone will have to order them to the dining hall, I guess.

((bean water owo))
Martin had given up on following Kiaane, so he had been doing some other stuff meanwhile.
He was in the kitchen pocketing some dried apple pieces at the time Kiaane would return to the kitchen.
So someone would have to tell him to go to dinner too.
Offline
Elio was actually walking around until he noticed both Kianne and Martin.
"Ah! Kianne. Dinner is being served, you should join us!'
Offline
Kiaane's expression might've been seen as funny by anyone other than the Thaohals in general because they look kind of caught off guard, like a cat trying to open a cabinet sneakily or something. They recover quickly though and slightly nod.
Unfortunately, Kiaan will probably not be the one to call Martin to the kitchen because they're not considerate that way and won't be able to see the issue until it happens.

((Kiaane as a cat tho))
Martin perked up at Elio's voice, but didn't move because he hadn't been addressed.
Offline
Elio looked to Martin for a second, "I guess you can come, too."
Offline
(Kiaan's so socially awkward I needed to do it. I'm gonna pull a random NPC here. Hope that doesn't hurt. If it does, lemme know. Watch me accidentally turn her into an actual character haha)
Kiaan, having nodded, doesn't move.
"He said 'you should join us," a nearby mercenary-mage remarks as she walks nearby. She only slows down her brisk pace to give a quick but reverent nod to Elio before turning her head to Kiaan again. "So, that means--move."
That gets Kiaan moving. Not quickly, though. Just their normal pace. Like they're obeying an order.
Offline
((👀 no it's fine! I was about to do the same thing lol. And 👀👀))
Martin smiled briefly before turning around with a serious face.
"Will do."
He started on his way to the dining hall (Ig).
Offline
Elio waits for the two to come closer, before he starts walking himself.
"What were you two doing anyways?" He asked.
Offline
Kiaan looks at Martin like they expect that he'll speak first, somehow.
Offline
"I was looking for a snack," Martin replied as if on cue. He put his hands in his pockets.
Offline
"Mhm. Whatever." Elio ignored whatever Martin was saying.
They were soon to arrive at the dining room. It consisted of large, long tables, topped with plenty of food and drink. Oh, and people too, people were also there as well. Ngl the narrator doesn't really know how to describe it too well other than that.
Offline
To answer Elio's question, Kiaan had responded curtly with something along the lines of them having looked around the castle.
--
Kiaane's going over to their usual spot by instinct--the corner, where no one can give them anything more to eat, not that anyone usually does that. Or maybe they do. Who knows.
Mostly it's because Kiaane retains a sort of liking for more secluded and somewhat dark places. In any case, it's not like they're not looking at the food. They're looking at everything plainly. As usual, one can't tell what they think about the food, since usually they skip this meal not due to food purposes.
Offline
Martin chose a random place, but not too random as he made sure to be far away from the most 'important people' in the family. The seat at his right was empty so it felt comfortable.
And well, he noticed just then that he was very hungry. Though now he would have to wait for the others to serve themselves first.
Aereon sat next to the head of the table, since that place was reserved for Elio. She kept her hands in her lap while she looked carefully over everyone present.
Offline
Aereon's gaze flickers over Kiaane just in time to catch how they don't really seem to know why they're here. Well, that's what how they're staring at the food like it's a stranger who just approached them implies.

(Hi Time xD)

((Oops sorry, I didn't notice))
Elio walks to the front of the table. Giving her a small greeting to Aereon before taking his seat.
Ignas was present as well. He was close by the front where his mother and father were, but not too close. He was probably grumbling and complaining about something.
Elio stands up, motioning for everyone to settle down and move their attention to him, "So, is everyone here?"
Offline
Aereon would have scolded Ignas, but he was too far away to do it discreetly. She turned her attention to Elio with a solemn expression.
Martin was finding it hard to focus with all the food in front of him. He was pretty hungry after all, even if he hadn't really noticed before. At least he tried to pay attention.
Offline
Said apparent NPC mercenary-mage nearly salutes jokingly but stops herself just in time.
Honestly, the narrator expects just no one really responds to the heads except the ones with greater authority.
Kiaan's just too preoccupied...uh, maybe pondering their life purpose. Who knows. In any case, it's hard to tell what they're looking at now. Perhaps it's somewhere in Elio's and Aereon's direction, perhaps not. Maybe they don't even know why they're here but came because a Thaohal told them to. That sounds very Kiaane-like.
Offline
Elio returns the look before standing up, "Everyone! Everyone!" He announced to get their attention
((Uh oh going into territory where it could be very awkward lol))
Offline
((I'm not even sure of what we're doing dw))
Martin grabbed a pea from a nearby plate and ate it. He quickly turned his attention to Elio.
Aereon's brief look of disapproval passed over Martin and was gone just as quickly.
Offline
(Lmiao)
Elio has Kiaan's attention even if it doesn't look like it.
The narrator would imagine just about anyone else looks fully attentive, like soldiers or something.
Offline
((Me too))
Ignas pays attention as well
((Bruh, This would've been better if this was a meeting, not a food thing bruhhhh. How about I just make this a food thing then meeting afterwards?))
