Micolash mumbles a 'thank you' to Abysa regarding being allowed to eat privately at a later time. What an embarrassing display were that to be if forced to do so in front of another person! What with how mealtime requires a dropper and a liquid-only diet at this time. Even Abysa's explanation (perhaps more for Ashlynn's gratification than his) doesn't really make him feel better. Oh, how there will not be a single day of this new life that he does not mourn the loss of the form given to him in the Nightmare!

When they've come upon the kitchen, Micolash lingers at the door's threshold, looking around the facilities with trepidation. Maybe a little disdain as well. The scholar's disgruntled mood comes out as he eventually grumbles, "By Oedon, you would think not wanting to eat was a crime around this place. Am I the only one who truly sees the process for the disgusting ritual it is?"

That being said, Micolash sulks by the door, arms crossed and also to one side of the doors now. When he's joined by Abysa, he turns that frown down towards the floor. I'm not looking at you. You're embarrassing me.
