Diner time.

(Sorry guys you can't just restart a failed negotiation.)

Upon entering the inn you find the mage Corva talking with the inn keeper Bennita. Bennita is the first to notice you (well Iris anyway) and promptly greets, "Well hello miss Iris. Diner will be ready in a few minutes, so come on in and pull up a seat." Before Iris can respond though Corva buts in, "Well if it isn't little miss all talk mage. I half thought that you wouldn't have the nerve to have diner here, what with what with a competent mage being present and all." To which Iris retorted, "Hey watch what you say. I was just trying to be considerate earlier, but if you're dead set on a fight lets head out to the beach right now." Before Corva can respond Bennita interjects, "Woh! Slow down ladies. I don't know what this hostility is about, but whatever it is I'm sure it can wait till after diner. So please sit down while I go fetch the food and set the table." With that both Iris and Corva sit down (at opposite sides of the table) and the inn keeper leaves the room. You can tell by the red hot glaring going on between the ladies that this will be one awkward diner, not that you've ever been to a diner before. Come to think of it since you don't have a body how will you eat, and do you even have to eat?

The thought of just loirering around while others eat diner seems somehow unpleasnt to you. So you tell Iris that you'll be taking a look around while she eats diner. She nods in acknowledgement and away you float, but not without noting that the unagreable witch, sitting across from your perky little partner, noticed Iris' nod to you. She hasn't reacted to your presence thus far, so she probaly can't see you like Iris can, but if she noticed Iris responding to you she might have deduced your existance. Of course she might just be thinking that Iris is crazy, either way this requires action. You decide to check Corva's room, if your lucky you may be able to gleam some usefull information from its contents. Finding her room was easy, it was right next to the room that Bennita gave to Iris. You faze inside the room without insident, and find the layout to be identical to Iris's room, except instead of leaves strewn across the floor you find a slip of paper with black and orange symbles writen on it lying directly beneath you ( in front of the door) and a black bag with blue embriodery resting on this room's chair. If you had to guess the paper is some sort of magic security device you're just glad that it dosn't appear to have reacted to your presence. So you turn your attention to the bag. The bag isn't very large mabey 2' by 1' by 6" in dimentions. It apears to have only one opening flap held shut by an ebony buckle. You try to faze inside to see the bags contents but as soon as you draw near the blue embriodery begins to glow and you find yourself unable to get closer to the bag. Startled you pull back and the bag returns to normal. The bag must have magic security mesures too, and these apear to be efective against you. It apears the only thing you've learned in this expidetion is that Corva is not very trusting but fairly compotent in magic, guess it would be best not to take her lightly. You faze your way back to the diner seen to find that Bennita is just barely surving the food, and Iris and Corva are still glaring at each other.

Maybe learn how to eat?

With your Witch snooping done and diner being served you decide to observe the meal, not like you have anything better to do. As you head for the table you find Iris and Corva are both making a marked effort to focus on the meal rather than on each other. Your best guess would be that this behavior is in deferance to Bennita. You know from firsthand evidence that either of the young mages could take the frail inn keaper in a fight, but that glare of hers cuts right to the soul, and you should know what with being a disembodied soul in all. So in this way diner passes quietly, and you decide to try and explore your own nature. Its been bugging you for a while but deep down you know you should need to eat, even though you've yet to feal hunger and lack a mouth with wich to eat or a stomach with wich to digest food onece eaten. Still that nagging intuition calls from the back of your mind.
