Nessie blinks in surprise at the variety of food she is presented with, but smiles warmly at Alfred. "Thank you very much, sir."

She pours herself a cup of tea, eschewing the lemon and honey for the time being in favor of drinking deeply from the cup and quelling any more sounds from her stomach.

"Will you join me? I always feel awkward eating alone..."

(Though, no matter what he says in reply, she's picking up one of those cucumber sandwiches and taking a small bite.)
