♂ 1 ; Video | Action

[mgann]

[For someone yanked from her home only a week ago, M'gann appears awfully calm on the feed. In fact, as she walks through the Hold, netbook floating in front of her, she can't help but seem a little underwhelmed. Transports viewing the video can see her in all of her green glory as she quietly explores the Hold, footsteps barely making noise.

Finally, somewhere between the classrooms and library, the martian stops and looks to the camera, curiosity getting the better of her.]

I understand what the library's for, but are the classrooms ever used? I haven't heard anything about sessions or studying since I arrived. [She pauses, considering something.] Did I just come at a bad time? The creatures only just left, after all.

[Waiting a few moments, something hits her. Well, it's more of a delayed realization.]

In any case, would someone please direct me to the nearest place to eat? It's almost lunch, and I missed breakfast...

((ooc; open to action, and maybe a breakfast buddy 8D))

Any good here?

[ He looks down to her plate of egg salad. ]

[mgann]

It's passable.

[She takes another bite. Not awkward at all.]

[minded]

[ His stomach gives a faint grumble. The food's gotta be the same here like back home, right? Hmm. Lucky for him a server comes by with a little menu and an extra mug for him. ]

...thanks.

[ Not awkward at all, nope. Conner glances at her and then keeps his eyes down on his menu as he flips through it, quiet as ever. ]

[mgann]

[More eating, chewing, and swallowing, followed by poking at the food and moving it around.]

[minded]

[ This awkward is so thick you could cut through it with a knife. The server returns and Conner puts in his order, with a little something extra for Wolf on the side.

Welp. Now they wait.

Conner goes to take his drink, hands wrapping around the mug. He peers over M'gann to where Wolf's sitting patiently outside. ]

[mgann]

[She notices him peering around her, and she can guess what it is. She doesn't bother turning around, instead opting for looking intently at her own mug.]

[minded]

[ Looks like they're going to have to wait for his food a bit which means ... more dragging silence. Great. ]

You go to the library often?

[mgann]

Sometimes.

[A sip of her drink.]

[minded]

They give you a weapon on your way in?

[ He already has an idea of what that weapon is... ]

[mgann]

They tried, but I refused.

[minded]

Why?

[mgann]

A few reasons. I don't necessarily trust them, and I don't need one.

[minded]

They gave me Sphere. Which I'll admit was a bit surprising.

[mgann]

She's familiar to you. It must be nice.

[minded]

It is. I just didn't think they knew about her.

[ Sphere rolls over to him and he places a hand on top of her. ]

[mgann]

That's one worrying thing about this place.

[minded]

There's a lot to be worried about where this place is concerned.

[mgann]

You're right, though I can't help but feel there's not much else to do besides go along with things for now.

[minded]

What choice do we have?

[ The server returns and Conner falls silent. The food for Wolf's been packed already and set on the table. Conner thanks the server as the toasted meat sandwich is placed in front of him. There's some egg salad on the side. ]

[mgann]

[M'gann sees the egg salad, and her expression falls. This reminds her what she wants to ask.]

Conner, why are you here?

[minded]

[ He's got his fork in hand and is just about to dig into his egg salad when that question comes up. The tips are poked into the mushy but chunky mixture of egg and thick sauce, specks of pepper decorating it.

Conner lifts his eyes to look across to her. He shrugs a shoulder and forks up a bit of the egg salad, taking a bite. ]

I was hungry. A guy's got to eat.

[mgann]

Conner, I-- [She stops herself, realizing pushing the subject wouldn't be in the best interest of either of them. It's better to take things slowly.]

I told you it's only passable.

[minded]

Food is food. [ Another forkful. ] And this stuff isn't all that bad actually.

[ Conner glances around the room at the others enjoying their meals. ]

I don't think we can afford to be picky here when it comes to the food. You've seen the way this place looks, right? [ Like really. ]

[mgann]

[She scowls at that.]

I'm not being picky. I'm still eating mine, aren't I? I just think the flavoring could use a little something more, that's all.

[Another mouthful for emphasis!]

[minded]

[ A forkful comes up on his fork and he holds it in her direction. ]

Here. Try mine then.
