Saucepan enthusiastically welcomed Diamond and Sophia as they sat down at the table.

"How did you find the seafood?" Sophia enquired of him.

"Oh, I just turned right at the Lembas" he replied cheerfully.

Sophia and Diamond groaned in unison. Diamond pointed out that that "joke" had been used once already at the party.

"Yes, I'm on a seafood diet, you know. When I see food, I eat it" Saucepan continued, oblivious to their groans.

Sophia made to poke him in the ribs, while Diamond aimed a light blow at his head with her well-thumbed book. The combined effect was a particularly melodious combination of clanks and crashes as Saucepan first ducked and then jumped. He grinned sheepishly and, glancing at his plate, quipped "Hmm, I think I must have had too much of the corn", eliciting further groans and affectionate swipes.
