Jac reaches out and takes Mira's free hand, "Of course, sitting here 
with you *anything* would taste good to me."

He gives her hand a squeeze and says with a slight smile, "But I won't 
tell Chef Erma that."

"What won't you tell Chef Erma?" says a voice coming from your left. 
Glancing that direction you see a small woman dressed in the white 
uniform of a chef is standing next to your table. She has dark hair 
pulled back in a bun. You can see thin streaks of gray in her hair and 
lines on her face smiling. You would estimate her age as late 40's.

Jac turns and looks at her, but doesn't release Mira's hand, "Erma! I 
didn't see you approaching."

"I can see that." she says with a twinkle in her eye.

"The food is just wonderful, tonight, Erma." Jac says to her, "May I 
introduce, my good friend, Sianna Mira Hasta-Rur to you?"

"Mira, this is Chef Erma Tolay. The best frantz chef on all of Mark." 
Jac says smiling and releasing Mira's hand.

"Perhaps, *one* of the better chefs, but surely not *the* best." Erma 
chuckles and holds out her hand to Mira, "A pleasure Sianna. You must 
watch out for Sir Jac's silver tongue, when he wishes he can be *oh* so 
charming."
