When Jada had been delivered an invitation to meet a friend for lunch, she had been ecstatic from the get-go. It was such a rare event, really! Jada's social calendar was full of non-social things, like teaching, and watching Tsereni, and visiting D'ren (and one man wasn't exactly social even when it was) and oiling firelizards. So many of the sharded little monsters, ever since Krypth had.... Eugh. So to be invited to join Ellaira for lunch was thrilling, and exciting, and not even a question. She'd replied with an immediate yes, and then sent Indivara a long-winded little note that exploded joy all over the place.
Indivara's reply to Jada had been acerbic, possibly written in the blood of innocents, and ended with 'have a good time.' At least, Jada noted, the girl's handwriting was improving. And all of the curse words had been correctly spelled. Beaming, Jada had pinned the note to the wooden board she kept in her hut, and went to sleep, dreaming of nubile lizards and chewing on sand.
The next morning, she had woken up and set a small goal for herself. She wanted to get a little something that would be a proper treat for herself and for Ellaira. So after much thinking, and much debating, she had finally picked her goal. But how to get a little bit of wine? It would be nice if she could just go and ask for it, but with everything else, the rumors would probably be everywhere by lunch that she was an alcoholic, and hated life. So instead, she went to someone else to acquire it.
R'nya. And that had been.... educational.
When she finally showed up for lunch, flushed and giddy with success, Whimsy was the first to pounce. Klah and Cocoa creeled in dismay as the little Gold flung herself towards the lunch basket, eyes whirling with food! Food! "No!" Jada gasped, and grabbed the Hatchling by her tail, dragging her back in. "Hi, Ellaira!" The wine was kept hidden as Jada surveyed the food being set out. "Oh, it looks lovely! How are you?" She reached out to embrace the other woman, always the friendly, huggy sort. Klah made a noise and dropped off Jada's shoulder, prowling towards the box of firelizard food, making a noise of greeting to Ellaira's blue.
