BranchWood Academy - Canceled

There hardly seemed to be anyone occupying the cafeteria this early in the morning, and Iveth was a bit pleased to see this. It really showed who was devoted to making it through the school, made these sort of students easier to pick out. Clove took a whiff of the air, glancing back at the mage who wasn't far behind then gestured him towards the trays that lay awaiting, "Hungriest go first?"

He blushed a bit as he waved to her, shushing her as his stomach gave the opposite reaction. It was roaring to him as he groaned a bit, walking forward and heading to the food, "thank you, sweetheart." He spoke with a soft smile, taking her hand as he walks by her and marching forward. "Onward!" He stated with a point of his finger to the food. Early morning was quite a trudge, especially with what events had happened for them the previous night, but for the two, this morning was nothing short of a good start. He held a silver mulling ball in his left hand, the sliver chain-though short-was wrapped around his middle and ring fingers. His wingtips tapped lightly, but his mind was no longer sought of the annoyance of his tapping, for there was a new mission on the move for the two

Her hand held him at a firm grasp and a grin reached her lips as she was pulled along, her eyes flicking to her hair that was progressively drying. Her worry on the effects of his conditioner still hadn't gone though she could see nothing bizarre in their small spiraled forms. The ache she felt earlier pulsed, but not enough to cause any physical hinderance, at least she hoped not. It was more of a bother and it would shrivel away soon enough.

Upon reaching the trays, she took one along with a plate to sit on it, and began down the lines of displayed pastries. "I'm wondering if I should give you a nickname," she mused with a grin and chuckled lightly as her eyes turned down to the food, and she reached out for the serving spoon, "since you always have one for me."

Blake trudged his way into the cafeteria. It almost seemed like he was pushing himself to even walk forward. The only conclusion to be made was Blake was exhausted from lack of sleep. Blake had spent most of the night training as he had been doing for countless nights. The amount of time that had passed since he started this training routine seemed to escape him.

Blake looked miserable from lack of sleep but, he normally bounced back into himself later in the day. Blake hadn't even gone towards the food or gave it a look to begin with. He just slumped his way over to the table and finally sat down. It had probably been a few days since he got any decent rest time. Within a matter of moments Blake slowly began to drift off while sitting. Unfortunately each time he had drifted off he was woken up by the thump of his head hitting the table. Finally he just put his arms down and just buried his head in them. In a matter of minutes, he had fallen asleep.

He smiled gently and shrugged as he poured a boiling cup of tea and dropped the mulling ball into it, turning the water into crimson liquid. He smiled to her a bit more as he started to get some food. "You can give me whatever you like, I feel that it would only be fair." He spoke with a chuckle. As he finished off his plate with all the food he could get, his stomach shrieking with glee. He blushed a bit and took a bite of bacon to shut it up for the moment. He walked out and waited for her, patiently smiling and waiting for her arrival. He noticed the man sleeping in the chair and thought a bit more about it, noticing he wasn't there as they entered. He shrugged it off, thinking of sitting with him, if she was alright with it of course. What would cause the idea? More of the thought of scaring him when he wakes more than the thought of enjoying time with his new companion next to a sleeping man.

It felt too early in the morning to be eating anything big, and she had no strong appetite either. At this time she would've been asleep, however, this morning was especially different. Her plate wasn't full, nothing heated, and no meats. She took her fair share of celery, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and guava with ranch to go along with it before joining the mage. "Mmm," she hadn't stopped thinking of a proper name, but she couldn't help to notice the student who was slumped down as if he were dead in his seat. Her head inclined only a bit as she looked over him, a grin finding it's way to her face. "Looks like he's been avoiding sleep more than I have," she said quietly in order not to wake him then looked to Sasuki. "Anyway, how about," her face lit as she established a name, "amado?"

He thought a bit, trying to find out what language that was, but only knowing six languages, and only two of them being regular languages, he wasn't sure what that meant." What does it mean?" He questioned as he walked over to the sleeping student, sitting quietly across from him so he could confront him when he wakes, he notices the vegetables and raied a brow of curiocity. "And why so much vegetables?" He questioned once more, without much thought on what to use to make it sound nice, he'd rather just ask instead. He took a sip of his tea and started to eat some of the eggs he had on his plate.

"It's Spanish," she brought a ranch dipped carrot into her mouth, "it means beloved. Amado." She allowed some time for her to chew before answering his next question, "I don't feel like eating anything warm.. I'm too hot for that-that can go both ways-, and it solves my crave for water.. thirsty."

He nodded as a soft flow of blush ran over his face as he laughed a bit. "I apologise." He spoke with a cracked voice. But cleared his throat and drank some of his tea quickly and took another piece of bacon. He chewed a bit and then took a bite of rye toast. He smiled and hummed with a bit of enjoyment, for the piece was smeared with applebutter, the only thing good he found for toast. "And I think that is a wonderful nickname. I love it." He commented as he leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek, finishing the food in his mouth before he does so. He looked over to the sleeper and thought. "should we... Wake him?" he asked quietly as he leaned closer to her, his index finger wrapped around the handle of his tea cup.

She smiled at the contact, bringing a guava to her lips to nip on as she gave consideration to his question. The boy looked extremely tired as if he hadn't had an ounce of sleep, and he also looked far from waking up. Her tongue sought out the seeds out of the small fruit and into her mouth to chew, the gratifying taste making her grin before she swallowed. "He looks pretty tired.. I'm wondering if we should take him to his dorm," she whispered back, before forcing her tongue back into the small hole in the fruit where she nibbled through the skin.

He glanced as she nipped the skin of the fruit. He attempted to clear his head as he rubbed his neck, biting a piece of toast as he gently taps the back of his neck, making him flinch a bit and blush. nope, still sensitive. Don't regret it though. he thought as he took another sip. He shrugged a bit and whispered again,,trying to keep his mind cleared from his last subject, "I would like to try, but if he is an alert man, I would not want one of to get hit." he smiled a bit more as he looked to her, keeping his eyes off the fruit she was working with. "especially with you around." he commented quietly. He felt kind of silly being all protective of her, though that is what is nature is more like anyways. He sits up again and continues to eat his food. His tea now half empty and still steaming.

Aerik walked into the cafeteria, the distinct smells of savory meats leading him forward. His hunger was great, for he had spent the night training. His body ached from the pains of using his abilities, a searing pain that Aerik would never grow to be used to. After he finished grabbing his food, he made his way to the seats. Very few were in at this time, but a familiar group caught his attention. He made his way over to them, hoping he wasn't being rude or interrupting anything too important. "Good morning.", Aerik said as he gestured toward an empty seat. "Is this spot taken?", he asked. He now looked back to Blake, his head down against the chill table. "That's what they have the dormitories for.", he said jokingly.

Gilfer having a Mighty Need for food decided to stroll into the cafeteria. After grabbing a bag of barbecue chips he heads to the table where he sees some familiar faces."Sup Aerik, Sasuki, Blake, and .... friend of Sasuki?." Gilfer says as he sits next to Blake. Turning to Blake "So who killed Him?" Gilfer joked as he ate a handful of his chips.

He smiled and waved his open hand to the seat. "Be our guest, friend." He spoke with a chipper tone. He pointed his thumb to the sleeping Blake and smiled a bit, "maybe something big was going on in his dorm?" He spoke this in a joking tone, but nonetheless, sleeping in the lunch room was nothing close to a good idea. He leaned back and finished his toast and started to eat some of the bacon in front of him, along with breaking off a piece of a Crêpe on his plate. He took the bite and spoke in between chews. "So.. How have you... Been, Aerik?" He asked softly and swallowed his food, drinking his tea not a second after he did so.

He looked to Gilfer as he walked to the table, "her name is C.." His face reddened, panic ran through his face for a second as he quickly cleared his throat, "Iveth, she's the leader of our squad. And for Blake, whatever happened to him was a mystery." He commented as he looked at the chips. He scratched his neck as he leaned back again, small marks on both sides of his lower jaw were slightly visible under his hair. "Shouldn't you eat something healthy?" He asked with slight disgust.

Blake's head quickly lifted from the table. He had moved to swiftly forgetting where he was. This in turn ended up lunging him off the seat and onto the floor. He had landed on his upper shoulders his feet now on the seat as he was entirely confused. During his quick movement he managed to knock over all the food near him. Which also in turn landed all over him as he crashed to the floor. "Uhhh...What?" he blinked rolling to the side so his legs would drop to the floor. "When did I get here..." he rubbed his head not even aware of the food or the others here.

Iveth raised a brow as she watched the boy hop out his seat, questioning how he didn't even know of his whereabouts. "In the cafeteria. Sleepwalk much?" A chuckle bubbled in her throat as she looked to Gilfer and Aerik, and glanced down for her watch that didn't happen to be at her wrist at the moment. She frowned, however, briefly before greeting them, "Did the smell of breakfast drag you guys from your caves?"

Aerik was slightly frustrated that his long awaited breakfast had now become a mess for him to clean up. "That's what they have the dormitories for...", he reiterated. Aerik turned back to Iveth and Sasuki. "I'm doing fine, thank you and, yes, food was on my mind as I finished my training in the dome." Aerik looked back down to the mess with disappointment on his gaze. With a sigh, Aerik bent down and began cleaning the mess with the napkins he had taken.

Gilfer holding his chips in hand looks to Sasuki "See what eating healthy gets you Sasuki, floor food." He remarks mocking Sasuki as he eats another handful of chips. "Iveth is it? Nah, not the smell, i just had a sudden craving for chips." Gilfer remarks as he averts his attention to Blake "So want some help up?" he says extending a hand towards him.

Blake blinked and laughed a little "Haha.... Dormitories yeah... Sounds great." he looked at Gilfer as he extended a hand to him "Oh, Yeah thanks" he gripped his hand and pulled himself up dusting himself off. "Hey, Aerik why don't you go get food under my name, I don't need to eat this morning... It'd be a bad idea." he brushed himself up more finally looking up.

His eyes scanned the table before he saw Sasuki. "YOU!" he immediately seemed awake. "You Magician! I remember you! What are you doing here!" his voice was immediately full of scorn. "I suppose I can let it go.." he sat down next to Gilfer again "My apologies mage."

He calmly cleaned what was on his face and clothing and he seemed not to care of that had happened, he jumped with slight shock, but nothing big. Even as Blake had yelled at him, Sasuki sat there with a calm tone as he sipped his drink. He smiled a bit to Blake and laughed slightly. "Did, you plan on killing me on the spot?" He chuckled. "You must relax, Blake, getting overly excited in your state will only make others freaked, plus I see no reason to be so mad at me for using magic," he took a moment and leaned over a bit towards Iveth, wrapping an arm around Her waist and gently kissing her once more. He turned back and smiled to Blake again, "I've made good friends here and I even got on my leader's good side, and no one here gave a damn if I used magic." He put his other hand up to Gilfer and he glanced over to him, then back to Blake, "Gilfer uses magic, not the magic I would use, but still. Do you want to fight him off too? If you ask me, Gifler, despite his odd comments and sporadic behavior, seems like a great person and I would love to hang out with." He pulls away from Iveth now with a gentle smile to her. He eats a bit and sips his tea, remembering one last person and quickly swallowing his tea, "Love you too Aerik." He commented quickly as he waved to him softly and chuckled.
