"I would like that very much." Sornnolu says to Naitiri, clearly interested in her proposition.

"Neutralist Organization?" There's a hint of a laugh in Felyn'wae's voice. She seemed to find the idea of it somewhat absurd. "How can you influence anything while remaining neutral? Surely you must take a stand at some point!"

Felyn'wae smirks at Asim. "You are drow, are you not? A son of a noble House? It is your right to be here, at the appearance of a Matron of one of the greatest Houses in Menzoberranzan."

Those near the buffet tables will see that they are loaded with many tasty dishes from the Underdark. Some are simple snack sized items, while others were more elaborate, such as the massive Diatryma Bird cooked in its own plumage and huge haunches of roasted Rothe. Mushrooms of all sorts were on display, cooked into soups, stuffed and roasted. Pale and eyeless cave fish were baked in salt. Albino lobsters were grilled and split and served on a bed of lichen. Starchy root vegetables were diced and baked, some were mashed and heavily seasoned. Flatbread and rolls were made from the same vegetable. One table was devoted to desserts. Small tarts filled sweet mushrooms, cakes drizzled with a sweet syrup made from the same mushrooms. A recognizeable dish was simple cheesecake. There was also something that appeared to be squares of fudge, but would be discovered to be lichen flavored. It was not quite chocolate, but it had a similar rich and complex flavor. A soft cheese was being served, as well, alongside crackers and a bowl of what appeared to be sweetly roasted nuts.
