Orion finished eating his eggs. "I'm going to go look for Jora," he said, standing up. He put brought his dishes to the box marked 'Dirty Dishes' and walked out of the cafeteria. He decided against going back to the girls' dorm. He looked around the hallways a bit, and glanced out the windows, but didn't see her. He decided to go to the classroom to wait for her. He opened the door and slipped into the classroom. He almost yelped in surprise to see Jora already in the classroom. His surprise quickly melted into a smile and he walked u behind Jora. "Skipping breakfast?" he asked her, pulling Naomi and Jora's sketchbook out of his bag and held them out to her.

Ember laughed. 'I think that should be easy enough.' She jerked her head toward Orion who was walking out the cafeteria. She sat down and began eating the pancakes. "Thanks, I like berries a lot," she said, giving Alderic a small smile.

Jora jumped. She kept looking down, anything to keep from looking him in the eye. "Yeah... thanks." She mubbled and put them down in front of her on the desk. She was almost sure he was going to start teasing her about being a freak. Even though she was use to it it didn't make her feel any better about it. She picked up her loose paper and gently put it in the pages.

Alderic smiled at his job well done. "You're welcome... Man I miss my sisters' food! They make these super awesome burritos for breakfast and these just don't stand up to them." He bit into the one he had taken from the line.

A'ine looked at all the food Alderic put on her plate. She decided on the thing he had just called a burrito to try first. It was pretty good but not her favorite so far. 'No joke!'

A'eda'n returned with his plate. He had three different kinds of muffins with some spinach and fruit. He sat down next to Alderic across from Ember.

Orion sat down in the desk next to her."Are you still up for swimming today?" he asked, tilting his head and grinning at her. He hoped she trusted him. "We're going to roast marshmallows afterward too, you should come!" he said earnestly. "I mean, if you want to," he added hastily, blushing slightly at his outburst of excitement.

"Yeah, I like the food back at my place better too. Not that the pancakes are bad or anything," Ember said, adding the last part quickly. She tilted her head to look at how A'ine and A'eda'n reacted totheir food.

Jora looked down at her book picking up Naomi. She wanted to finish her drawing but didn't want Orion to see it. "Sure..." She said then opened her book to a blank page. She wondered what could he be trying to do. She remembered how the kids back home had pretended that it was a swimming party for her and she dropped Naomi her eyes wide with fear. What if they were doing the same thing? She hoped they couldn't be that cruel but needed to be ready just in case. She reached down to pick Naomi up, that had fallen in between herself and Orion.

A'ine took a bite of the spicy casadia and reached for her orange juice quickly guzzling it down. "What was that?" She asked as her tongue started prickling. She drank the last drop of her orange juice.

A'eda'n had better luck with his food and took a small bite of a lemon muffin. He quickly took a bigger bite of it enjoying it.

Orion didn't know what to say. He knew she had bad memories that related to swimming. "Did you have breakfast?" he asked, pulling out his own sketchbook, and pulling out his pencil. He noticed Naom on the ground, and nudged it closer to Jora's hand with his foot, but he kicked it too hard, and it skittered across the floor. "Sorry!" he said, and stood up. He picked it gently off the ground from where it lay past Jora's desk and put it on Jora's desk. "Sorry 'bout that," he apologized again, before sitting back down.

Ember looked at the quesadilla. "A quesadilla. Spicy?" she asked. She handed A'ine her untouched glass of orange juice. "I don't like juice," she said.

Jora froze in her place. She didn't know if he had down it on purpose or not. He knew how much the implement meant to her. She picked it back up and looked at it. She wondered what to draw now. She didn't feel much like drawing but it would cheer her up a bit. She looked at her blank page. "Skipping breakfast implies that I didn't eat..." She didn't think she could. Her stomach was making her feel sick already and didn't want to test to see if it would accept food or not.

(Oopus! Knew I spelled it wrong! >.<)
A'ine accepted the orange juice readily. "Thank you!" She said taking a gulp. Alderic raised his hands defensively. "Sorry! It's got all sorts of peppers and stuff!"

(FRIED BRAIN!)

Orion thought she should eat, but he didn't press the matter. Jora seemed rather upset though. "Jora.... Are you mad at us?" he asked quietly, trying to think of what they could have done to make Jora angry. He could think of a bunch of things. He rubbed the hilt of his sword, twirling a frayed string on the hilt between his fingers.

(It's pronounced like that though, so I can totally see why you spelled it like that!)
"Not everyone likes spicy food," she said, preferring bitter and sweet foods herself. Especially sweet foods. She pointed to the pancake. "Try that, it's sweet."

Jora just shook her head starting to draw swirls on her page, not really having anything in mind but whating an excuse to not have to talk. "No..." She said as she started seeing letters in her swirls.

(XD You so supportive!)

A'ine smiled. "No, it's not that I didn't like it, it was just... unexpected." She said taking a bit of the flat thing on her own plate. "What did you say it was again?" She asked taking another bite of it. (It a pancake that Alderic grabbed for her.)

Orion began to draw in his own sketchbook. "I won't look at your drawing if you don't want me to," he said, noticing she had stopped the drawing she was working on when he had walked in. He tugged at the string on his hilt again, wondering what to draw. He had made a face. He added short,choppy hair, and an eyepatch, morphing the face into a typical pirate.

(I actually looked up 'casadia' because I thought it was some sort of fancy food. XD)

"A pancake," said Ember, lifting up the last bite of her pancake with her fork and eating it. She moved onto eating the berries that had fallen off the pancake. "Do you like it?" she asked, directing the question to both A'eda'n and A'ine about their respective foods.

Jora bit her lip. "I don't know how good it is because I had a regular pencil and it's not colored." She said it blankly like it was a test or something. "Did you sleep well last night?" She asked hoping to try and still be friendly while keeping her guard up just in case. She continued with the swirls and added flowers in them so that they looked almost like vines.

A'ine smiled gleefully. "They are good. I liked the eggs better though... No offence!" She said adding the last part hoping that what she said wasn't bad or anything.

A'eda'n nodded at her. "I like this lemon muffin the best out of these." He said pointing at five different muffins on his plate.
