The second the intercom sounded, while the man on the intercom was still talking, Ashton pulled himself off the couch in the Music Room and slowly made his way to the door. He walked, glided even, as if he were a ghost in a dream. The nurses had already filed up to escort the patients to the lunchroom, and one bustled over to walk Ashton those few

It had been almost a reminder of better times ...
And then they took him to lunch. He spent five seconds staring at the food presented to him, thinking What the hell is this?
One of the people nearby refreshing the food tried to explain it to him - something about putting the meat and vegetables in the thin, circular breads and rolling them up, or just putting it in harder breads and eating it that way. It was ridiculous. Caim took his share of the food and found a table, still somewhat unsure of what lay before him.
How were you supposed to ... ?
Eventually, he gave up and used his fork to stab everything together into proper pieces and ate them that way. There was a tinge of humiliation in him at having been frustrated by food, of all things, but it only added to his hatred of this place. Besides, it was just food. He'd had smaller things frustrate him before.

Until he got a look at the food. He didn't know what the man on the intercom had been talking about but had at least expected the food to look remotely familiar. He was disappointed.
Still, he allowed the people serving him to choose food for him and took a glass of water. That, at least, was familiar.... he hoped.
Looking around, he spotted a large, unhappy looking man. Maybe he had a fetish death-wish when it came to making friends, but he walked over anyway and sat down with a warm, slightly tired smile. He didn't like this being hustled from place to place much.
"I hope you don't mind if I sit here?"

Caim gave a half-shrug. He didn't care either way if he was joined in a ridiculous meal like this. From the look of the boy, he didn't have any idea what this food was, either. This place was ridiculous - did they honestly expect them to know what any of this was?
Yes, he suddenly thought, they did. They thought everyone here was from their world, and therefore knew everything about it and were just pretending. Damn them all, but they wouldn't keep him here much longer. With his newfound weapon, he'd have them bleeding on the floor in a matter of days ... !
Inadvertantly, he stabbed the plate too hard with the fork, causing a loud screeching noise that dragged him back into reality. Caim pulled it away from the plate and ate what food was left on it, focusing his good eye on the boy nearby.

He didn't even bat an eye when metal scraped plate. Instead, after allowing the man to observe him, he turned a warm smile up at him.
"My name is Haku," he offered, then took a sip of water. "It's a pleasure to meet you." He bowed his head then looked back up, friendly look not dampened in the slightest by the bandages covering the left side of his face.
