[Ginger]

Judging by Duchess's visage, Ginger assumed she was having a bad day. She paid little attention to her attitude in attempt to avoid further tension. Turning to face Espy, she asked "How does your salmon taste? Have you ever tried a fried shrimp wonton? They're really good, if you would like to try one of mine." Ginger waved to a waiter passing by and kindly asked, "Do you think I could get another fork please?" The waiter smiled and nodded, and replied "Yes, I'll be just one moment."

When he returned, he placed the clean fork neatly next to Ginger's plate and asked "Are you in need of anything else, ma'am?" Shyly, she replied "That would be all, thank you."

Holding the shiny fork in her hand, she motioned for Espy to accept her offer. "They're really yummy. I promise you'll like them." Ginger smiled and winked to reassure her that eating was perfectly alright.
