Carrick's gaze went to Anastasia who was still standing and looking at the food. "Pick up a plate and serve food for yourself princess!" he said as he shook his head.
Embarrassed, Anastasia quickly picked up a plate and served rabbit stew for herself from the pot. She picked cheese cubes that were wrapped in a cloth on her plate. Carrick got up from his place and offered her to sit. She smiled and thanked him. She could feel Darla's eyes on her but she avoided her.
"Ileus, I know this inn in Óraid where they serve one of the best roast lamb with green sauce. We are going to stop there!" She offered him a spoonful of stew. He tried to take the spoon from her hand, but she took the spoon to his mouth. "I will make you eat today to my heart's content!" she said.
Ileus opened his mouth and she gave him the stew.
