There was little to be said of the daily business that went on. He allowed himself to be shuffled, mind embedded too deeply in things he shouldn't be dwelling on. The night was over, the shadows had vanished, and there was little more than bad memories to be left in their stead. This was logic, pure and simple, and should have been reassuring but

Problem was, that pettiness over the menu was now an issue far larger than Lightning really wished it was- she'd spent more energy than she could spare fighting off those weird monsters last night, and what tiny bit she'd already eaten that day during breakfast had served to kick-start her metabolism. Now, her body was annoyingly insistent on eating something with a nasty vengeance... she was starving, and not in the cute "it's been three whole hours" way children often indulged in. This was far more literal.
Fortunately, there was also another dish - something that at least resembled a simple salad. Lightning tried to keep her eyes ( ... )

Naturally, Lightning froze at the man's sudden, strikingly relevant commentary, looking up and over at him with eyes wide and grip instinctively tightening on the fork in her hand. For a wild moment her immediate thoughts took over- who would want any more of Snow if they could help it?, directly followed by the question of who this man was, how he knew Snow, and how he'd managed to miss that the rather tall, conspicuously loud-voiced blonde was already here ( ... )

"What, do you not know snow or something?" he asked, blinking.

"I know Snow Villiers," she said, her voice low, "but I take it that's not who you're talking about." A moment later though, she finally recalled past her irritation that there was something Snow was apparently named for- a phenomenon like normal rain, only frozen into tiny pieces instead of a liquid. However, obviously she'd never seen any... at least not in person. The only places on Cocoon that ever had the weather turned cool enough to get it were touristy areas she'd never had reason to visit.
"You mean the weather...thing?" she asked, but then pressed her lips together briefly, annoyed at presenting such a strange-sounding question herself.

Man, and he had thought Cloud had it bad with the weird hippie name thing.
Scott shook his head. "I feel bad for you if you're from somewhere that doesn't get snow, dude. Ladydude. It's cold and wet and makes it hard to get places, but other than that, it's seriously the best thing ever."

He also didn't seem the type to get a lot out of breathtaking wonders and all that- she'd seen plenty of those of both genders oohing and aahing over Bodhum's sunset and fireworks, so she thought she could probably recognize it by now. Who knew what he meant, then.
In any case, her stomach wasn't going to allow much more dawdling anyway. Working a fork for her salad was, embarrassingly, a little more awkward than it should have been at the moment, but she was nothing if not determined and willing to make do. Hopefully Mr Know-What-This-Place-Needs would get the hint.
