"Hey, Ban! Did you have an extra pair of clothes?" Alex shouts while helping prepare the table

"Nah, I picked this one up on the way to the village..." he turns around smiling carrying two barrels

"Stole, you mean," Gowther says

"Food! Food! Food!" Hawk stands on his hind legs looking at the food on the table

"Hawk, mind your manners," Diane tells him

"I think it's bad manners to sit like that" Elizabeth looks up at Diane and giggles

"Oh yeah, you're probably right" Diane smiles and fixes her sitting position

Alex walks up to Cain and Meliodas talking. "You're leaving already? Why don't you stay for a drink?"

"No thanks, I won't trouble you guys any longer. Besides seeing you guys is enough" Cain replies

"Alright"

"Keep in mind, if your seeing traces of Liz whenever you guys look at that princess... well no, never mind. Alright, may we meet again someday!"

"Take care of yourself, old man!" Alex waves and Cain waves back

"If only they knew, huh Meli?" Alex looks down at the ground, resting her head on Meliodas's shoulder while he looks to the sky "If only they knew"

"Nice to meet you, Sir Gowther. My name is Elizabeth, the third princess of Liones. Would you please lend me your assistance in saving the kingdom from the Holy Knights?"

"No"

"No?!" Everyone shouts in unison

"This isn't the first time we've met, we've crossed paths once in Ordan, and, also, you became acquainted with us when you were a child" Gowther explains

"Whaddya know, so she was the little runt who was always hanging around the king" Ban rubs the back of his neck

"How weird, I totally don't remember that!" Diane says

"Show some respect when you speak to her highness" King slides in 'sneakily' whispering to Gowther

"I stand corrected - Princess" Gowther speaks to Elizabeth once again

"Oh um, sure. So then, have I met Alex and Sir Meliodas before, too, by any chance?"

"Of course, you did silly" Alex says walking up to the group, beside Meliodas, hand in hand

"So what'll it be Gowther? Will you be joining up with us?" Meliodas asks

"I'll agree to it. It was the king who named me to the Seven Deadly Sins. If it's a request from his daughter, I have no reason to decline"

"Great! Now that there are five of us here, how about we drink to celebrate?" Everyone cheers

"Not that we're not drinking pretty much every day..." King says off to the side

"Cheers!" Diane says

"C-Cheers!" King drinks with her

"Ah, so good!"

"You want me to bring you something to eat?"

"Oh, no worries. I can get it myself!"

"I'm not gonna lose to you, Captain!" Ban says giggling

"Less talking, more drinking!" Then they also drink some more

"Here you go. Is there anything you don't like particularly?" Elizabeth asks Gowther
