[ By the time 1pm rolls around and Gray's already gone off to his meeting with the Kaiser, there aren't a lot of people in the Great Hall left. There are, of course, still those getting a sort-of late lunch, and people loitering around and just clustering themselves together and chatting and passing the time before duty calls or whatever. It isn't as crowded as it was when Rin arrived, at least.
Madge has delightfully finished a small bunch of grapes for herself, while he took his time with his meal: meat and potatoes. So much meat and potatoes that he can get seconds or thirds without Aari scolding him for not leaving any for Freyj who's as thin as his violin's bow. Whatever. This isn't that story.
This is the story of a young man whose dragon, the other half of his soul, keeps getting him into trouble after doing just a simple task of retrieving fruit. It starts with an innocent question: ]
Erin, can I go get some more fruit please? Pleeeeeeasse? I'll share this time!
[ Rin gives Madge an appraising look. He's not sure if he should let her go off on her own, or if he should get the fruit himself, but... He's several parts lazy at times, so: ] Ugh, fine, whatever. Just don't embarrass me or bother people.
Yes! I won't, I promise!
[ Which is exactly how Madge, brave and fearless dragon that she is, ends up dropping an orange, a bunch of grapes, and a banana on Lyall. She lets out a squeak and immediately lands at the table the little girl was at, checking her all over. ]
Omigosh, I'm sooooooo sorry!! It was an accident! Are you hurt, did the banana injure you, are the grapes alright??
[ Meanwhile, Rin bangs his head on the table and groans. ]
