As I said my piece about my position, a group of servants emerged from nearby doors. Each one was holding a silver platter thing with the big dome things on top. Super fancy. Each dome was so reflective as they put it down I could see myself perfectly within.
And as much as I was a sight to behold, heh, I resisted the urge to rub my hands together for the fancy feed. I was still hungry after not finishing that whole lasagne... 'I really hope this is more lasagne...'
My excitement soured instantly as the lids were removed. First of all, they had given me the food my food eats. A bunch of leaves on a plate. I was a meat man! Second, the portion... If you could call it that. There wasn't enough food on the plate to fill up a twig.
"Don't worry. This is just the first course. To activate the stomach and encourage appetite." The girl to my right said.
I smiled at her, relieved, and thanked her. "Thank you. Maxine, right?"
Maxine smiled at me and nodded.
