[ He eats like a man starving. To be fair to him, it's quite possible he could be. Whereas Akua had eaten before the event -- old habits die hard -- and she only had a single drink in hand, she still watches the buffet table, because many of the new folks had been making their way there throughout the entire event. She waits, until he's had his fill, to approach, since she's not one to interrupt someone while eating.
Except. She thinks it's going to take a while, because the boy had really filled his plate up, hadn't he? Really filled it up. So, there was nothing for it, and she was going to approach him while eating anyway. Being someone who wanted a good handle on new arrivals, their capabilities, and who they were, she can't help but swing in for an approach.
With a glass of wine in hand, she neared him, picking up a single piece of...something, she wasn't paying attention to it anyway, and then turned to him, and looked at his plate. ]

Are you starving?
[ She asked, curiously. ]
