It was, surprisingly, as he was young as well as a hare, not extremely easy. He only rarely ate food at crowded tables, preferring to wait 'til the majority of beasts had finished - at home, this preference had been masked by his refusal to come to the table until he'd spotted his bird for the evening. But this was hardly supper, and thanks to that flock of geese and his promotion, he had no excuse... He just made sure to sit at the end of the table so his footpaw wouldn't be jostled by a neighbour's leg or tail. As he kept his snout very near the surface of his soup, he bemoaned again the fact that Black Arch was not Redwall. Who here could possibly be interested in feather patterns, or wing-shapes of obscure birds? And how could he possibly be interested in any of their chosen topics of discussion? If it wasn't about food, it was about fighting - he tried to tune out Benoni's chatter by letting his ear dip into his mug of cordial and using that as an excuse to rub feverishly at it with a napkin. Why couldn't Kani rub his ears when he wanted them rubbed? And any minute now somebeast was going to try to rope him into talking about his new position or something... At least now there was a slight chance in the future that not everybeast would unnerve him with their higher rank... hah. At last Enamel decided to muster his hare-powers and stuff his mouth so full that nobeast dared try to get anything out of him lest they got a spray of crumbs in their cream... He reached for the nearest platter, found it a paw's length too far. Oh, dear. Why did he choose the edge of the table, why? There was no alternative. He would have to instigate conversation. "Could... could somebeast pa - please pass th'..." The hare's nose wrinkled in thought as he scanned the table. If only he knew the names of dishes as he knew the names of his far-off feathered friends. "Th'everythin'?"
