Viktor picked out a table that no one else was at. He liked to be alone usually, especially when he is eating. "But", he thought, "This may be the most opportune time to try to find someone for an alliance. Like his mentor said, there is safety in numbers." He was wondering, and slightly hoping that he would not have to be the first person to initiate talks about an alliance. He was not very good about talking to people. Back home he would just tend to his crops all day and when he got dark out, he would go home. He missed home dearly, but would never let it show to anyone else, that could be a sign of weakness.
