[Day 14] Cafeteria (Breakfast Shift)

[mazoku_king]

Cloud hadn't been in his cell when he'd looked. The findings had left him with a feeling of unease as Yuuri eventually been dragged away from his cell block and towards the cafeteria. He'd lost sight of everyone else after they'd quickly buried Wolfram, and try as he might not to worry, Yuuri couldn't help but feel the feeling of fear tightening

The shower time had been useful merely to the extent of re-hydrating his body. What subtle pangs of thirst his body had craved no longer nudged at the back of his mind as the Protoss warrior began making his way into the cafeteria.

His large form continued to stand high above all others as he walked passed them all. Heading over to move along the outskirts of the large room, Tassadar quietly observed the others around him.

[A Templar up for grabs~]

The young blond in pink had a light spring in his step as he entered the cafeteria. He felt hungry but the smell in here was less than appetising. He made a face and scanned the room, his eyebrows raising at seeing the imposing form of Tassadar.

It was clear he was unafraid as he approached him, blatantly staring with undisguised interest.

"And what exactly are you?" He questioned Tassadar very directly.

There appeared to definitely be something affecting the balance here, but the templar could hardly find an answer to it. Things had been odd ever since the malfunction around their collars, and yet everything gave off the illusion of being normal. Tassadar, however, wasn't convinced, but he found himself distracted by his thoughts by the one approaching him.

'A lifeform like your own,' Tassadar murmured telepathically before his large form stepped around to face the young human, 'Curiosity such as yours is not one witnessed in humans upon sight of my kind.'

[seconddarkest]

Gellert let out a surprised but oddly still cheerful laugh at hearing the telepathy. "You have an interesting skill there...," he eyed Tassadar with a clearly intelligent gaze, despite the apparant flippantness of his manner.

He then gave a grand bow and grinned. "I am Gellert Grindelwald. And your name is?"

For once, breakfast didn't look all that bad. The pancakes didn't smell like much, and the hash browns were probably best left alone, but that was a lot better than some of what she had been forced to eat in this place. That wasn't the important thing to worry about, anyway. The important thing was finding the people she knew and letting them know she was all right. If she really had been out for over a day, maybe more, then they would be worried about her. Yuuri especially.

I really hope he's still here, she thought with worry. People disappeared so quickly here sometimes

[Haaaaaaaaieeeee~~~~ Sae makes me laugh <3]

The sense of panic began to increase when he couldn't catch sight of Cloud, Armand, or any of the others. Maybe he'd just been too quick here to the cafeteria and beaten everyone else? It was a hope that Yuuri clung to almost obsessively as his fears attempted to grab hold.

Yuuri was so wrapped up in his own worries that he didn't recognise the voice at first. Spinning himself around, his eyes were wide as he caught sight of a familiar face moments before Sae went face-down towards the ground.

"Sae!" He called out in alarm as he instantly ran over to her side. All of the emotions that he'd been feeling within were threatening to burst out, and seeing his friend only seemed to highlight that further. He'd thought... thought that...

Reaching out to help her up, Yuuri couldn't stop the rush of questions as he asked, "Where have you been? Are you alright? They didn't hurt you, did they?"

[focusfocusfocus]

"I-I'm all right! I'm fine! Really!" she insisted as she let Yuuri help her up, face red partially from having hit the floor and partially from embarrassment. What a way to welcome herself back. She wouldn't blame Yuuri if he didn't believe that she was all right.

She set her tray on the table and slipped meekly into a chair across from Yuuri and explained, "I don't know where I've been, actually. The days started to blur together all of a sudden, like I wasn't there half the time, and then I felt like I'd fallen asleep for a while. I just woke up again this morning." She bit her lip, almost afraid to ask the next question. "How . . . How long was I out for?"

[mazoku_king]

He settled himself down at the table as his friend sat. There was a definite sigh of relief to hear that she was fine. She'd disappeared so long ago that he'd been afraid that Sae had ended up just like all the others. He had promised to protect everyone, and he didn't want to let anyone else down - not again.

"How long?" His eyes seemed to flash with pain as Yuuri glanced down to the tabletop. She'd disappeared just after they'd found Wolfram the first time. How long had it been since then? Too much had happened.

Forcing the smile back on his face, Yuuri peered back up to regard Sae as he murmured, "Five... maybe six days."

Aerith was relieved. She'd managed to make it through another humiliating shower completely unscathed, and now she could look forward to the rest of the day. Well, at least it wasn't night. The guards were never as scary as the monsters, especially if you looked the other way and did what you were told.

Picking up a tray from the line, the Cetra glanced around to see who was already here. Yuuri had made it, and he was chatting with a young girl that Aerith hadn't seen before, but she looked nice enough. Tassadar was easy to spot as well, but it seemed that no one else had gotten here yet.

Moving towards a nearby empty table, Aerith had a seat and began to pick at her food. She had to be a good example and keep Cloud eating, and it wouldn't help if she didn't do the same.
