Even after being offered the first cup, she'll take a sip to be polite, and then wait until he has his ready before actually drinking any. And when she has her food, she finds a patch of ground that's still mostly grass. Kneeling, she soothes the skirt of her dress down around herself, then starts picking daintily at the meal, small bits of this and that. Nibbling, not gulping, in spite of her hunger.
"All in moderation, including moderation. Perhaps if you were too comfortable under the ground before, this was just what you needed to shake yourself up a bit, and reawaken your senses to what lies in the wild. I know I must ever return home, else I get to comfortable out here, and let the wyld of my nature ever closer to the fore."
And Maxim, you need not miss it so badly! I shall visit you, and I can bring some of this with me! Perhaps a piece at a time, and perhaps more; but you'll not be left for wanting. And too, I shall beg and plead, and you may yet find yourself on other days, doing just what you are doing now. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, these are good times to celebrate the outdoors. You shall see, I am sure."

"It will be alright, mon ami. I know this."
