Felix was ever in tune with Irene the moment she arrived. As soon as she got into the inn's dining hall and looked cautiously at the man who was once irritated and bordering on disrespectful to the knights, the second in command perked up.
"Over here," he called his friend, forcing her to come to the table where the man, the Commander, and Felix were all dining.
Luckily for her, there were plenty of others around, so there were unlikely to be any awkward pauses that she would feel the need to fill with something else.
Rather than going to the side where the man sat to the Commander's left, Irene sat beside Felix and furthest from the Commander. It would certainly be more comfortable for her like that.
"Good evening, gentlemen," she addressed the man she was joining.
A few other responses of 'good evening' were heard throughout the tables, but the Commander took it a step further.
