(ooc: oh i thought we were done with the food-my mistake)
(OOC: That is ok. I thought you were playing tough guy. =)!)
He sat down, "Terrific. We'll be leaving immediately after dessert and coffee then...." he looked at the Plantoc, "Unless you have other thoughts Madame Chair? We do have some new guests arriving at Spacedock." He hoped she'd see his intentions of wanting to leave.
T'Kresh placed her napkin on her plate. The meal had been some sort of seafood, which was something her people found taboo. She had opted to have the rice and the kelp that came with it, but she could not force herself to eat the rest. "We should return as soon as it is feasibly possible, Gul Legrath. This meeting was a formality as you can see. We all appreciate your hosting us so kindly. Perhaps we could skip dinner so as not to keep our own guests waiting?"
Legrath felt himself fill with anger, but there was little he could do under the circumstances. "I understand, Madam Chair. I understand that your positions keep your schedules tight. Feel free to depart as you must. I am just glad that we were able to clarify that the Professor was doing fine here."
