Tara, for her part, was more or less content to simply listen to the conversation going on around her. It was comfortable, and she did appreciate someone else was asking all the questions she was a little too shy to ask. Not that anyone had yet seemed to mind a question or a request for assistance, but she would definitely rather listen and absorb the information than ask about it.
So she ate, and listened, and glanced to see who had shown up and who hadn't yet, mostly keeping an eye out for the people she was sort of friends and friendly with, aside from the ones who'd already joined them at the table.
