"Likely. But I also rely on sound, touch, and taste." Asha was amused by Kesari's fascination with her sense of smell.

"Huh. Neat." Kesari nodded, before nodding to the food. "Alright, so what're you hungry for? There's an extremely large amount of food here."
group
"Hmmm, I'm craving some duck at the moment." She tilted her head this way and that, shamelessly eavesdropping on nearby conversations. More than once, her blindness was mentioned and how it would render her practically useless.
"Let's see if we can find some." She looked over at Asha, snorting. She knew what eavesdropping looked like, and she could only imagine how useful the heightened hearing would be for that. Moving along the table and scanning the food items, she grabbed two small plates, searching for the duck that was bound to be there.

Asha tapped her lips with one hand, then brought it down to feel along the table. It was more to keep herself from wandering too far from it and to know where it was so she didn't bump into it. She usually just grabbed food and ate–she wasn't that picky–but she supposed that this was an as good opportunity as always to see just how helpless her Guardian thought her to be.
"Ah, our first problem." Kesari murmured, narrowing her eyes at the table. "Two, actually. I can't find the shrimp, for starters. Second, I don't actually know what duck looks like, meat wise."
group
Asha chuckled and used her nose to find the meat section. It wasn't too far from where they currently were. She then tilted her head and sought out her favorite meaty scent, pointing to the other side of the table. "Seafood is over there."
"Thanks." Kesari nodded, looking between the two sections. "Split, gather, and reconvene?" She suggested, taking Asha's hand to hand her the plate. "I'll be right over there, in the off chance something manages to go horribly wrong. Which is, honestly, more likely than anyone actually thinks."
group
Asha chuckled and smiled softly. "Sounds like a plan to me." She nodded in farewell in the general direction of Kesari.
"See you in however long it takes to load this thing with shrimp without looking weird." Kesari said, turning and heading towards the other end of the table.
group
She chuckled again and found the duck. She took off a few slices, then grabbed random foods to go with the meat. She did surprisingly well with judging where her plate was, though it was just a pile of food.
Kesari grabbed what could've been considered too much shrimp, before picking around for a few other food items. Her eyes lit up as she spotted the roasted vegetable somebody had brought, immediately popping a shrimp in her mouth and starting for those.
group
Asha finished piling her plate and turned around to find someplace to sit. People were generous enough to move out of the Witch's way as she strolled about, mindlessly eating some of the food with just her fingers. She didn't care. In her mind, it was all finger food.
Once Kesari was satisfied with her selection-never turn down a free meal-, she turned to find Asha. Furrowing her brow, she scanned the crowd, relying on the bond to help find the short Witch.
group
Asha sensed her Guardian nearby and came up behind her. "Hello. That's an awful lot of shrimp I smell."
"No judging." Kesari warned playfully, popping another shrimp in her mouth. "I don't get cocktail shrimp all that often. I'm making the best of an opportunity. You find your duck?"
group
Asha nodded. "No judgment–simply observation. I'd like to talk to you about my visions later today. They were quite vague."
"Those are the best kind." Kesari grumbled, nodding. "Somewhere private, though. Until then, I believe we're supposed to be getting to know each other."
group
Asha nodded. "After the party," she said, talking about the visions. "And I do believe that's what we're supposed to do. Not that I've seen many Witches and Guardians interact much at these things."
"I've been to one of these, before now." Kesari said, looking around. "So I wouldn't know. Do you want to break that commonality of yours, or should we stick to it?"
group
"You seem pleasant enough, I don't see why we can't talk." Asha shrugged and took a bite of her food.
"I'm hoping that's a compliment." Kesari nibbled on a carrot, thinking. "You grow up around here?"
group
Asha shrugged. "I don't know," she said honestly but didn't offer anything else. She never told more than what was asked.
"Alright then. Favorite food?" Kesari asked, realizing the issue with her first question.
group
She held up a slice of duck, smiling slightly. "Take a guess."
She huffed a small laugh, rubbing the back of her neck with her free hand. "That should've been obvious, huh?"
group
"Well, I could've simply been craving duck and had a different favorite. I'm going to take a gander and say your favorite is shrimp?"
"Actually, I'm a bigger fan of roasted vegetables." Kesari said, eyes flickering down to her plate. "Shrimp are just a rare treat for me."
group
"Ah." Asha nodded. "See? A food you wanted but wasn't your favorite."
"Alright, alright, you win." Kesari said, huffing a laugh. Something told her that was exactly how most of their interactions would be from then on. "Music. You more of an upbeat dancing type-or the slow, soulful lament deal?"
