[ also startled when Rupert starts, fumbling his own menu. The other shadows at the table do too, one of them reaching over to pat Molly on the shoulder, which makes him jump even more. ]

[he whispers that, as if that will make any difference to whether or not these shadow people can hear or not.]
Maybe we should just go along with it. I don't really want to find out if anything happens if we upset them.

no subject
