The twins holler thank you mam as they hoist themselves onto their seats and the booster books as well. Inej smiles and hollers back a little, bright and native tongued, as she serves them. More than anything she appreciates that Daniel doesn't mind their company. She's come to expect it with Marcus, but Daniel's casual acceptance of friendship, and the shape that has to accommodate her children, is a slightly different beast.
She serves him as well, and then herself, an instinctive decision that has lived in her blood since she was a child. The cook always serves. And when they all have their meal, she sits down and gives Daniel a smile.
"Do you do a grace before you eat?" she asks, genuine and curious. She's taken to it fairly well, since she's been in Darrow, a more formal thing than when she was with her family or in Ketterdam. It seems right to ask how Daniel does it, if they're having a meal together.
