[With one hand holding the tray, he holds out his arm for her to take.
After listening carefully to ensure no one was outside, they quietly exit the room and quickly make it down the hall just before a servant turns down into it. Posing as the loving couple that they are (although is it really posing when they just act naturally?), they make their way back into the main hall. As they walk they quietly discuss their plan while masking it as if they are whispering sweet nothings to each other and for now they decide to stick together and feel out the guests before eventually separating.
Not wanting to stand out too much just yet, they find a table that has another seemingly doting couple and with a quick glance at each other they move over and ask if they could join. Although surprised, the couple happily oblige, allowing Cid to put down the tray of food he had been carrying. This of course prompts a question as to where they got such a selection that seemed different than what was offered at the food tables and before Benedikta can answer, Cid responds that she is currently feeling rather sensitive due to the strong smells and such.
The husband doesn't quite catch on, but the wife's eyes widen as she also notices the glass is not wine but something else. But she is polite and just smiles happily, wishing Benedikta to rest and not push herself too much. It's a "delicate time" after all (the husband still just looks confused, poor sod). But already from this brief exchange it seems the couple is at least perhaps more "honorable" than most here. They seem to be on the older side, the wife perhaps more mature than her more rotund husband, and while their attire seems on the more simple side compared to the glitz and glam of other younger and clearly affluent members, there is an almost elegant sophistication. The wife has pearls and diamonds as her jewelry, and the husband has a gold chain pocket watch hinted on his front vest pocket, the fabric of the suit and dress clearly high end.
Of course looks can be deceiving, so they'll need to probe more as to what they do...]
