Couple in Nam-Po

Couple in Nam-Po....

I thought she was feeding him.

I was sat in nam-po eating a lamb dish with fried rice, mum had the same but with boiled rice. I observed a couple across from me and to improve my writing skills, I started writing about them. I noted that the woman as she stepped across the room to another bench -  it was occupied but had a vacant mains Power Point where she plugged her phone charger in. Then she went back to her seat next to the man I saw her feeding. His fork discarded, he was eating the Asian Way with his hands well, "hand" --- his right "hand" not inclined to use his left hand as dictated by his religion? Custom? The pendant lamps had a shade made from wire, the shape, a truncated cone of 10 degrees.  Widest at the bottom 12 inches across with a wire constructed bulge in the middle housing the mercury vapour twisted strip light made to resemble a traditional bulb.  She seemed very attentive of him what with the feeding - and face stroking now? So the feeding was like an intimate ritual?  He came back walking with a lazy gate rocking from one foot to the other swinging his head left and right in an exaggerated fashion. He spoke with a middle class accent. She had a handbag like Kermit the Frog but it had seals on it?  Was she a mother? Was he her husband, lover brother? They have gone, the empty wall/counter/bench where they sat, two stools high,  Matching the style of the lamps the whole restaurant empty nearly; and evident by the change in volume. You would class it as quiet but only in comparison to the previous volume it was in no way quiet!
