The Becoming Of A Crayterian

[Doreen]

For the moment, the meeting and discussion took a back seat as all began to dine. She had her napkin in her lap and she was very much a lady as she ate. Small talk dominated the dinner session. It was a fine meal of locally grown and produced products and meats. Doreen like her sea food.....when she could get it and Benjen was a typical kid where a burger would keep him happy. Still, he would eat pretty much whatever was put out in front of him. She gave a loving smile to her son and continued. For the moment, she didn't have a lot to speak of.

She enjoyed a meal that for once she didn't have to prepare. After a long day's work, it was the last thing she really wanted to do. Sure, Bennie could make something quick for himself if he chose but she wanted him eating as healthy as possible. A glass of ice water was her dinner time drink. Sure, she could have a glass of Gallic Red Wine but she saved that to settle in for a quiet evening.

"New Astarte," she asked Ryo, "tell me about it."
