bjornwildeAlustin knew his worth and always had, any evidence to the contrary aside. Of course, there were times when he had nothing but his faith in himself to rally against the world. That belief in himself had always served him well though, and so he clung to it. It guided him when others would have taken advantage of him, like his elder siblings, the stuck up other students at Skyhold whose offers of friendship he knew were nothing more than a means to build themselves up at his expense.
Which honestly was good for him, but did leave him without a table to eat at during meals, nor a companion to share the time with.
Looking over the dining area he spotted a few empty areas, some with individuals or small groups of people, but something held him back. He wasn't sure what, just a feeling. He decided to wander towards the area he knew had the strongest illumination, even if it didn't have the broadest nor brightest light, and found only a single table with any space. It was a small table with only four seats, one of which was taken by a gorgon who almost seemed folded in on herself.
Alustin cleared his throat and smiled when she looked up, only as far as his chest he noticed, but he was careful to keep his teeth hidden, remembering that teeth were a sign of aggression to the gorgons. "May I share your table?"
She merely nodded to his question, though almost thinking better of it showed him the live rat she was about to eat.
"I am certain your eating habits will not be a problem for me." He took a seat opposite her and noticed she still had not met his eyes, instead looking down at the table. Was she shy? He tried a few more questions, but never getting an answer, decided to eat quietly. He also avoided looking at her face, wondering if it were a gorgon custom of some sort."
