The sight of Rock Sayer made York's face darken completely.
Rock mirrored York's scowl, then sidled up to Claudia. "Claudia, mind if we join you?"
Claudia smiled and nodded. "Whatever you'd like, Master Sayer. My treat."
York grabbed Claudia's wrist, pulling her slightly closer to him. "Claudia," he said in a low voice, "have you already forgotten what I just said to you?"
Claudia looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Did you say something to me just now?"
York's face remained grim.
Peter walked over from a distance and greeted the three of them. "What a coincidence!"
York frowned at the sight of Peter.
Rock chuckled. "I just followed these two in here."
York was speechless.
Peter graciously offered, "Since we're all here, let's eat together. It's on me."
"Aren't you here with a friend of a friend?" York asked him.
Peter pointed to a nearby four-person table. "What's the fun in eating with friends? It's much more enjoyable to eat with you guys."
Rock linked his arm with Claudia's. "Claudia, let's sit together."
York grabbed Rock's arm, his eyes flashing a warning. "I can call your grandfather to come sit with you."
The two men glared at each other, sparks flying.
Rock pouted, released Claudia, and cheekily sat down on Peter's side.
Claudia and York sat on the other side.
