Christian did not say anything, merely waited out the very awkward silence, occasionally taking a sip of his drink. His eyes glanced from Bella to Enjolras repeatedly.

*Bella took another gulp of her 2nd glass of wine and looked up.* So! This is...this is nice.

"Very much so." Christian's voice had lost all trace of emotion.
"I hope you don't mind my asking, but when will the food arrive?" He had to escape from this place as soon as he could.

Soon, I think. *She giggled slightly as she took a sip of her 3rd glass of wine.* Oh, look! Heeeere it comes! *Sure enough, the food was being carried out to them.*

A waft of the food drifted over to Christian. It smelled tantalizingly delicious but he had no appetite for it now. Betsy shuffled over and settled several dishes and the main course: turkey. ((Why turkey? Because I want turkey. )) "Looks wonderful."

((Curse you! Now I'm dying for turkey. ;D ))
Indeeeeed. Thank you, Betsyyy! *She smiled tipsily as she finished off her 3rd glass.*

Christian raised an eyebrow.
"Bella, perhaps you shouldn't drink so much. It's not good for you or your child."

Christian grinned slightly to satisfy Bella and did as he was told. It was cruelly delicious. When he noticed that she would not cease drinking, he took the glass from her. He placed it on the opposite end.
"Terribly sorry, but it's for your own good."

*She pouted slightly as Betsy brought her a glass of water.* Fiiine. *She took another bite of her turkey and a sip of her water.* So how are youuu, Christian? You haven't really talked about yourself at alll.

Christian's eyes involuntarily shot to Enjolras before he replied.
"Well, um, what would you like me to talk about? I'm not a very interesting person, just so you know."

*She giggled and rolled her eyes.* Of course you're an interesting person.

"Well, as you both know, I'm a poet. When I first arrived at the Opera Populaire, my intention was to tell others our story." Christian shook his head before correcting himself. "Sorry, Satine and me. Our story. But along the way, I met Bella here and Sydney. I've escaped both Death and Fate at a price. And now, I'm here."

See? You're interesting. *She smiled at him tipsily* But what have you been doing in Paris since I saw you at the Valentine's ball?

*Enjolras quietly thanked Christian with his eyes--he had zoned out for a second there, not noticing that Bella had been drinking like an Irishman. He nodded at the man.*
"Bella, are you quite sure you wouldn't like some water?" *He asked her, a bit miffed with her. Everyone knew you couldn't drink while you were pregnant.*
