*Finally they were at the tavern. Kade entered and was assaulted by the smell of hot food and good drink and the sound of many kinds of beast, all being merry. There was a mix of otters mice and squirrels, with a variety of other species sprinkled throughout. He stopped so as to wait for Siohen to enter before going to find a table. Didn't want to lose her in the crowd because who knows what might happen then...*

Siohen was quite stunned by what she saw before her. A bunch of species she didn't know, a bunch of smells which probably belonged to food that she, again, didn't know, and more beasts than were in her entire village. She silently followed after Kade, wide-eyed at the senses bombarding her. This confirmed the idea of her life being turned upside-down, all right; these beasts had fur on their tails, even!

*Kade noted Siohen's astonishment upon entering the tavern and figured it might be best that they get a table that was a bit further away from all the action going on. This being said, he noticed a table for two that was located against one of the walls of the tavern and it was fairly set off from everything else so it'd be good for her. Siohen seemed to have slowed somewhat in her following him so walked back to where she was slowly following, put a paw against her back and gently gave her a tiny push and lead her over to the table.*

Bumbling over to the table, she cautiously seated herself in the chair, not really knowing what was going on. She might as well have been a monitor lizard for all intents and purposes; foreign, tough, incapable of speaking correctly, she actually did check out pretty well on that list. Not sure exactly what was going on, Siohen just looked at Kade blankly, trying to figure out what it was he expected her to do here.

OOC: YIM?
"Ok, just stay here for a second. I'm gonna get a couple of menus from the bar." *He told her and then walked up to the bar and grabbed two of the parchments that had the list of food on them. After having done so, he went back to the table, handed one to Siohen and then sat down.* "Ok, just try and find something on there that sounds good, even if you don't know what it is, and I'll tell you what it is." *He said, then started looking the his menu, unsure of what he was gonna get.*

OOC: I don't think our messages are getting through.
BIC: Nothing on the menu even remotely sounded familiar to Siohen. Most of it was words she didn't even know, including the term 'menu' itself, although she did see the word 'toasted' somewhere. It was in reference to some sort of grain product which she didn't know the nature of at all. Confused by what she was reading, the mouse looked up at Kade in exasperation. It couldn't be that difficult to eat something she actually knew the nature of, like some berries or a boiled sparrow egg or something.

OOC: You're not even online, though
IC: *Kade saw Siohen look up at him with quite an exasperated look on her face. Perhaps it was just all too much for her.* "Ok, so... can you name off a few things that your used to eating? I'm sure they'll have it." *He didn't notice what else to do to get her to pick something, she seemed rather lost. Kade himself was leaning more towards a turnover and perhaps some soup of some sort.*

She nodded slowly, but then realized that would require verbally listing them. Upon this little revelation, Siohen just glared at him, frustrated that he'd expect her to be able to not just speak but actually list a whole bunch of things. Communication with beasts wasn't going to be that easy from here on in, not that it ever had been. She hadn't learned sign language of any sort or anything.

*Kade just propped his head up on one of his paws and threw the other in the air in exasperation.* "Fine, starve, see if I care." *He was just trying to help her. You would think that she would at least be able to say certain words like what kind of food she liked seeing as how that was something that needed to be said on a regular basis. In the least, a way to show what she meant. How had she lived her whole life so far without working out a system to try and tell other beasts certain things like food?*

"Eggs?" Managing to get that word out without stuttering, she surprised herself by involuntarily speaking it. It seemed that when she didn't really think about what she said, it was easier to say it. Now that it was out in the air, though, maybe she wouldn't starve to death there. Siohen just looked at Kade, not really expecting him to react. He already seemed angry at her anyway.

*Kade wasn't angry, just... a tiny bit impatient. He raised an eyebrow and looked over at her.* "Eggs? Yeah, they've got all kinds of eggs here. If that's what you want then I can finally order the food. I'll be back in a second..." *He said, got up and walked over to the bar. Sometimes that was just easier than waiting for one of the waiters to come by. He ordered a plate of eggs, a turnover and some veggie soup. As for drinks, he remembered that earlier she mentioned that she had wanted some water so he ordered some for the both of them. After having done so, he strode back over to the table and took a seat.* "It's gonna be a few minutes until the food gets here..." *He wasn't exactly sure of what they would do with the minutes in between because Siohen couldn't really converse with him and that was all there was to do.*

Due to a lack of conversation, Siohen just looked around the room slowly before eventually returning her gaze to Kade. The room's first impression hadn't worn off on her at all and she was still awed by the crowded noise and cacophony of various sensual stimuli that battered at her mind. This meant that all the mouse could do was stare and try not to go completely catatonic or anything.

"So..." *Kade started, he was unsure of what to talk about to a beast that couldn't talk.* "I'm guessing that this is all new for you, huh?" *It was one of the few things that he coud ask that was relevent and didn't require much in the way words. It was just something to break the silence that was becoming more and more common and more and more uncomfortable. At least for him it was uncomfortable.*

It was uncomfortable for Siohen as well, but she had more trouble voicing it. All she could do was nod slowly in response to Kade's question. She was beginning to feel more and more like the beast she'd been known as in the village, which was, quite simply, a mute. In this case, though, it didn't have much of that superstitious glory attached to it. It was just embarrassing to be unable to speak due to something she couldn't control but, indeed, controlled her.

"I thought so... are your from farther south?" *Kade had figured as much but decided to ask anyways, just for clarification. That and to keep the dreaded silence away. He just hoped that the food would get there soon... sometimes the service here wasn't as fast as it could be sadly enough.*
