Kyu looked down at her small plate of food. She picked up her fork and poked at the small piece of eel on it. She then looked at the small proportions of mashed potatoes and rice and smiled. She spun her plate so the eel was in front of her. She stabbed the fork into it and bit into it, feeling the juice of the meat soak into her mouth. She ate the rest in small bites and smiled so slightly it would only have been noticed by the most observant people. Glad he knows our country isn't accustomed to eating much... I must thank him later for studying tradition, but in privacy. She then ate the rest of her food and placed all of the dishes and silverware back into their positions. She place her hands on her lap and sat, waiting for everyone else to finish eating. She turned to one of the maids and gestured her over. She smiled sweetly as the maid scampered over, knowing she was nervous approaching royalty. She whispered into the maid's ear. "Please tell the chef that the princess of Meledonia would like to speak to him after dinner. I want to give my regards in person." The maid nodded and walked away swiftly, heading towards the kitchen to tell the chef. She then turned back to the table, searching through her brain for the name of him so that she wouldn't seem disrespectful.
