William nodded to Hanoko, and walked off to a back room of the dining hall, wincing in pain as he did so. His arm naturally swayed as he moved and it stung..

Once they alne, Hanoko quickly gave him a summary of Nicote's bio.

"And that's why he's such a grouch. In all honesty, that fact he's not insulting you is a real step up from his usual attitude towards everyone. He's pretty slow to trust though." she finished.

Ifera's expression softened to the kind she used with the younger children as she cautiously wiped away Rowan's tear. Her hand lingering for a moment before placing it onto his shoulder. "It's a happy time. No tears should be shed. We are safe." Ifera reassured him. She then secretly and quietly grabbed a piece of the sausage she cut up and still looking sweetly at Rowan stuffed the sausage into his mouth.

Rowan was a little startled by her stuffing the piece of meat in his mouth, but he soon calmed and after swallowing he said, " You are sly, you know that? " He mumbled, looking ever so slightly annoyed.. In truth, he wasn't annoyed, but she didn't know that.. did she?

William looked like he was holding back tears and just nodded, if he spoke he'd probably actually cry.

"I know." Ifera smirked. "I also have a good slight of hand. And you need to eat. So I used those 'great' abilities of mine to force feed you." She said popping piece of the sausage into her mouth innocently.

"he's been like this ever since her death. I don't evne know why he hasn't killed himself over it, all he ever doe is carve those little pictures in wood." Hanoko admitted. "I...i'm not even sure why he doesn't push me and Aoi away." She sighed. "No one can figure him out. Ever."

Rowan crossed his arms, glaring at her a little... then, he had a very bad idea. So he smirked, and in the deepest voice he could muster said, " If I knew you'd be feeding me, I would of had a much better appetite~ " He considered this playful payback for her doing that, still incredibly oblivious.

" Well.. I hope one day he will be better, I really hope he will be okay again.. " He said, sadness in his voice.

"I-i'm not even sure he knows how to smile. he went from just being goth to being kinda creepy and it's being getting weirder and weirder. All he wants to do is fiddle with his wrench and woods." she said, lip quivering. "I've tried talking to him but he just..clams if you mention it.
