Everyone needs friends.

Who: Diana and the grues.
What: That dinner Diana and Some planned like months ago.
Where: The Training Center Commons, then the Speakeasy.
When: After sunset.
Warnings: Two of the three are maneaters.


Talking Ele into this had felt like an accomplishment. It would be all-new for her, all of it. He had carefully avoided calling it 'going out for dinner,' because it wasn't, for them. There would be water, and for politeness's sake, he would order them a little plate of pork, but that wasn't food. In fact, he'd cautioned Ele about eating very much of it - his own experimentation with the meats they had available had gone badly.


But that was all ahead of them. Now, he was simply waiting anxiously on the ground floor of the Training Center for Diana and Ele both to join him. And trying to keep his mind off worst-case scenarios. Ele was not going to try to eat Diana in the middle of a crowd.

"Hello?" Diana ventured, assuming that the words she couldn't understand were introductions. "It's lovely to meet you Ele, and to see you again, Some." She happily took Some's hand to squeeze in greeting, her polite smile widening when she met his gaze, then held out a hand to Ele, in case she wanted to do the same.

"Will you try their language?" he suggested gently, with a light hand on Ele's back.
