The day had been an uneventful one for Amelia, save for the encounter with Zelgadis and Mason early that morning. The princess was still a little worried about Mason; he looked like he was really hurt! It had to be very difficult for everyone living here, being unable to rely on magic for healing, and unable to trust their doctors, too!

Fortunately, the lack of excitement in the day also meant no running into Hellmaster, which the girl supposed was a blessing. Not that she would ever think of turning her back on evil! She merely needed to grow accustomed to this place and this situation before striking back against the forces of darkness. And as an Ally of Justice, there was no doubt in her heart that she would! Eventually.

Those thoughts aside, dinner looked delicious. While little could compare to the luxuriant meals prepared by the palace staff back home, Amelia always found trying the foods of foreign lands to be a fun and rewarding experience.

While at first, she was grateful for the lack of competition, mealtimes were starting to feel a little too quiet with the absence of a certain hot-tempered sorceress and dull-witted swordsman. Without them stirring up trouble, a journey to a distant land just felt incomplete, somehow.
