          Sarilyn slumped slightly, and turned a bright red as she learned
the reason for her being at this meeting.  Every time she thought she'd
gotten rid of her past, it jumped up to slap her in the face.

          Well, she'd do it, at least she'd have something to do to feel
helpful...something she needed right now in her life.

           Speaking softly, she offered her one bit to the conversation.
"We'll get started at the next meal.  In the dining hall.  Don't plan on
just digging in as usual though.  You'll be eating like court, and inbetween
bites, we'll talk about etiquette around nobles."

           Then her blush increased.  "And I'll answer your questions about
my background, since I know you're curious about it."
