When invited by Mavera to join her in stroking Dawntree's neck, Yvaine smiles happily as she watches how and where Mavera strokes the Rancor's neck before imitating her while listening attentively to Mavera's answers to her other questions. Her smile getting bigger when Mavera says that she would probably have to ride with her if Dawntree would allow Yvaine to ride her at all, Yvaine hugs Mavera's neck with her free arm, continuing to stroke Dawntree's neck with the other as she gushes enthusiastically, "It would be such an honor to called 'Sister' by you Mavera! Maybe I can convince Mum to make our next trip a visit to the Dreaming River Clan! I'd love to see Dathomir and meet your Clan! Looking at Dawntree, Yvaine coos excitedly to the Rancor, What do you think, Dawntree? Would you like to visit your home with me and maybe help me be worthy of a mount of my own so you'd have a friend with you on Coruscant?"

Dawntree, seemingly in response to Yvaine, heaved and rolled onto her side to expose her soft underbelly. Mavera is sure motion the princess to continue petting Dawntree's belly. The Witch, recovering from the surprise hug, suddenly gets a serious look on her face. Though my Clan, along with many others, are friends to the Empire, Dathomir is still a very dangerous place with worse things than Rancors to deal with. Dawntree gives an indignant snort. You're still very formidable, my dear! Mavera is sure to reassure Dawntree. She turns back to the girl with her. There is Darkness there, and even among my Clan, we could not guarantee your safety from our rivals should they strike us... Though with a warrior heart like yours, we would have a far better chance of victory. Then the smell of the cooking wafted over to her nostrils as she heard the chef's whistle, and Mavera felt her stomach rumble. Perhaps we can speak of it more after we've had a bite! She moves over to the table, much to the disappointment of Dawntree and her no-longer-rubbed belly.

Yvaine, petting Dawntree's belly after Mavera indicates that is acceptable, frowns a little as Mavera explains that a journey to Dathmoir would be a perilous one for several reasons, but soon grins happily when the Witch from the Dreaming River Clan concludes by saying Yvaine has a warrior's heart that could give them a chance of surviving whatever dangers they might face, and then, after giving Dawntree's belly a last pet, scampers off to join Mavera for a bite to eat.
As she digs heartily into the rice, meat and veg dish she asks Buf for, Yvaine looks over at Mavera and grins as she suggests mostly playfully but probably a bit hopefully as well, "When we ask Mum about going to Dathomir, maybe you could tone down all the dangerous and not guaranteeing safety stuff, she lifts a hand and spaces the tips of her thumb and index finger apart an inch or two, just an eensy weensy tiny little bit."

Buf took a seat once the Princess and the Imperial Knight Witch had picked out some food to eat. He pinged out a request for a smoker and some additional ingredients, at the top of the list of which was some low grade Yulant Shaak cuts. With his restock done, he took the free time to relax a little, bemused by the ongoing conversation between the two women. He mused aloud then
I could rustle up some Burra Fish for dinner... Could be nice to serve up a small taste of Dathomir, or as close as I can manage...

Mavera smiled at both those who had joined her. First she slowly nods toward Yvaine, hesitantly speaking as she did. I suppose... I could do less embellishing on the matter. Though I will not lie to your mother if asked directly. My honor would not allow it. She sets the utensil she had been eating with down and puts a hand on Yvaine's shoulder. But, someday, when you are older, you and I can go to Dathomir and see her beauty together. Hoping that the promise will be enough to pacify the excited princess. For now the Witch turns to Buf. Some Burra fish does sound lovely, though I would not wish to inconvenience you, you have already done so much! Taking another big bit and swallowing, And everything is so delicious!

Smiling happily when Mavera, after stating that while she might embellish less when they ask Faina about a possible trip to Dathomir she will not lie if asked directly about the dangers the trip would entail, says that they could always visit Dathomir when she is older and can make that kind of decision for herself, Yvaine says,"I'll hold you to that offer even if Mum decides to take us there sooner!" There are some things that Yvaine recalls wanting to do only for her interest to move on to something else or fade entirely, but she knows that going to Dathomir will not be one of them, the idea of meeting the Dreaming River Clan and seeing the unique sights Mavera's home world offers taking a hold in her mind.
Nodding in enthusiastic agreement with Mavera's assessment of Buf's cooking, Yvaine finishes the last of her own meal and asks Buf with a grin, "You don't make any kinds of desserts do you?"

He let out a hearty chuckle in response to the Witches comment that she did not wish to inconvenience him
It is no inconvenience at all. My only role and job here is to cook good food and keep everyone's bellies full...
He tapped away at the datapad quickly, adding an order for Burra Fish to the list for the Quartermaster to acquire for him. Sliding it away again, he slipped off his chair and moved over to a fridge, before pulling out a couple plates containing either Cheesecake or Custard Pudding and set them on the table
Just a small sampling of items I prepared earlier. There will be more available after dinner. But it would be good to have some taste testers, if you don't mind after all...

Yvaine, smiling happily as Buf produces plates of dessert, takes one of each kind while telling him, "I'd be happy to be your taste tester, Buf! Taking forkful of the cheesecake, Yvaine points the fork at it as she makes satisfied noises, swallows and then asserts, That is mag-freaking-nificient! Since she has generously offered to taste both desserts, Yvaine spoons up some of the custard and, after finishing the first bite, smiles as she tells Buf, Sooooo good!"
Alternating between the cheesecake and custard, Yvaine has nearly finished both when she hears a commotion from the field and turns to see that the game appears to have ended, the players all congratulating one another or telling their opponents they played well as the start heading en masse for Buf, the limmie game apparently having left them all with renewed appetites and thirst. Finishing the last of her custard, Yvaine takes the plate with a bit of cheesecake left on it and hops off her seat as she grins and warns Buf, "Hungry, hungry Mandos inbound on your twelve o'clock Buf! Spotting her Mum, sporting a bloody nose while joking about something with Fionnuala who has a bruise on her right cheek and grass and dirt stains all over her flight suit like most of the players do, Yvaine scampers around the first Mandos to reach Buf and start calling out their orders boisterously, asking her Mum, Can we go to Dathomir next, Mum, please? Mavera says she'll help me get me a Rancor of my very own!!"

Mavera was just able to give a quick Thank you! to Buf before she moved just in time to not be trapped by the approaching mandos. She too spots the Empress. She rushes over, concern written on her face. Are you alright, my lady? Do you need any aid? The Witch curses herself silently for not having split her attention, being distracted by talk of her homeworld. Dawntree, with her partners internal screaming rousing her from her relaxed state, lumbers over toward the Delvardus' as well, ready to render whatever service a large predatory reptile may in this situation.

Faina, holding her nose with one hand while holding the other up to let Mavera know she has no need to be concerned, assures the Witch in a nasally voice, "I'm fine, Mavera, thank you, explaining as she removes her hand from her nose and sniffs before experimentally touching the sides of her nose to make sure it is not broken, Fionnuala accidentally hit my nose with, she giggles and dabs the blood from her upper lip with a sleeve, her face," the description causing her to hold onto the Morganian, who is also laughing merrily as she nods and points to her bruised cheek to confirm the Queen's story, as she joins the Mandalorian in a fit of laughter that persists for a moment before dissipating.
Arching an eyebrow as she remembers Yvaine saying something about a Rancor, Faina gently pats Dawntree's snout as the Witch's mount lowers her head to sniff at the Queen's injured nose, telling Dawntree, "I'm fine, Dawntree, really. Looking at Yvaine, who is the only one around her that does not look concerned since she is too occupied by her attempt to plead silently for a yes to her request to go to Dathomir with theatrically sad eyes, Faina pulls out a card familiar to mother's everywhere as she tells her youngest daughter, We'll have to ask your father."

Mavera bowed and retreated, now slightly embarrassed for her overreaction, she put a hand on Dawntree, who also backed away to give the Empress space. I am glad you are not badly injured. If you do require anything, please let me know. The Witch was at this point a bright shade of red from the aforementioned embarrassment, but still felt she needed to make up for her perceived failure in her duties as bodyguard.

Faina smiles as she gently clasps Mavera's forearm and, able to see that the Witch is embarrassed about leaping into action even though it was not necessary, assures her, "I will let you know if we need anything, certainly, and then motions towards the Skid Lid Sizzler as she suggests, For now, relax and enjoy yourself, asking, Did you and Dawntree have a chance to eat yet?"
Remus, dodging between Fionnaula and his Mother, hops onto a stool and asks Buf, "How was your game with my sister? Chuckling, he asks jokingly, Or did she talk so much you never got to play at all?"
Punching Remus lightly on the shoulder, Yvaine says, "Very funny, then asks him, Who won the Limmie game? Turning to Buf, she grins and asks, Is there any more of that cheesecake left?"
"Me and Auntie Fee's team won, Remus informs Yvaine proudly, then asks Buf with a smile, There's cheesecake?"

As the game had wrapped up, Buf had gone into full service mode pulling deserts out of the fridges and cooler boxes and getting them setup on display across the covered grill surface. Managing to get everything set up before the PRince arrives
We arrived at a draw, so the Sabacc Champion of Agamar remains undecided at this stage...
He chuckled as the two siblings quarrelled a little, as most are want to do. He produced a pair of plates with cheesecake then and held them forth
Even little Princes and Princesses should use their manners, no?

"Can we please," Yvaine asks Buf with a cheeky grin as she accepts his reminder that being a Princess is no excuse that she forgets her manners.
". . . have some cheesecake, Remus, having spoken in synch with his sister, finishes along with her, adding a, Sir?"
"Buf? Yvaine concludes her request, using her new friend's name rather than the sir, and then laughs as she realizes she and her brother were talking over one another. Thanks, Buf! Yvaine says cheerily as she moves aside to let some of the Mandalorians that had been playing Limmie start calling out their orders as they rush the Skid Lid Sizzler. I'm getting a Rancor," Yvaine tells Remus after he manages to dodge around and between the Mando's making sure Buf earns his credits for the day.
"I'm getting a Kom'rk!" Remus tells his sister as he takes a bite of the cheesecake.
Faina shakes her head and chuckles as she says in a sing-song voice while dabbing at her bloody nose, "No one is getting anything until . . ."
"You ask," Yvaine starts to finish her mum's sentence.
"Our Father," Remus finishes along with Yvaine, making his sister giggle again.
