Poppy too noticed the man with one arm. Like the lizard man and tailed boy this was a first. Granted a much more reasonable one. Losing a limb could happen to anyone, if anything it was less likely to happen to a meta, which everyone here was. His clothes were in rags yet the rest of him seemed to have been cleaned up. Her gaze lingered for a few moments more as he passed by.

"Well I did say we could head back over..." It's just that Poppy didn't know who to sit by. Surely the teacher had to be nice, but then again he was a giant lizard. She noticed the embrace the man that went by received from him. Now she didn't know what to think.

"I'll be back." Poppy scampered off to get another plate. Even though Gabe had left her old food was probably cold. Upon returning Poppy tore her biscuit in half and crammed a piece into her mouth. Very unladylike, however it'd hold her over for meantime. Once she swallowed she turned to Red again.

"Where should we sit then? Doesn't matter since people are starting to leave." [i]So long as were not the last ones here.[/i] No no, seemed that the lizard was getting out drinks for the ship wreck fellow. They'd almost certainly be around for a while longer.

[u]Vespera[/u]

Perfectly relaxed but at the same time sitting tall Vespera bore down Lynn. She peered intently into her eyes for the majority of the time looking slightly away with one at intervals comparable to the average time to blink. Only thing was she didn't blink. Vespera had no trouble keeping her eyes wide for about as long as she wanted to. She tried in in the past simply out of curiosity and ultimately she ended up accidentally closing, a reflex on her human side considering arthropods don't have eyelids. Whether they could remain open constantly was unknown, for a duration this short though it was a effortless.

Putting her enhanced senses and knowledge of organic sciences Vespera monitored the rate of her heart and observed her involuntary actions. Between this and the windows to the soul she had a much better idea of how accurate the disposition Lynn was trying to portray was to how she actually felt. Thus far things were mostly in sync.

"Kinky. I'm sure his screams were delightful." One thing she could give this girl is she had a good sense of humor, if a bit crude. "Then were on the same page then."  From her point of view this whole ordeal still stemmed from miss flashlight head. Were she not so fucking bright they wouldn't having this conversation. Based on the way things were going it was only a matter of time though. [i]Get on with it already.[/i] There was really only one thing that mattered at this point. Whether Lynn would put her money where her mouth is, however she was still talking, so Vespera let her finish.

Finally it came out, and it wasn't too unsurprising. "It sure sounded like you did there, guess I was mistaken." [i]Backing down yet at the same time asking for it, how juvenile.[/i] In the end it didn't matter much. Failure to accept the challenge made her provocations worth dirt. While it was tempting to shit talk her it wasn't a conclusive victory. That and Vespera still was convinced they'd meet on opposite ends the battlefield, just not tomorrow. She'd save it for then. With her attitude there might not be anything left of her. Nothing of concern so long as she still got her rude awakening.

The moment the plate settled before her Vespera sent it back with an absent minded flick of her fingers. When Lynn had concluded asking her to take care of it was already back over. From an onlookers perspective it might have been amusing. For Vespera it might as well not even happened.

Vespera had her fill of entertainment for the evening and since it didn't look like Nikki was going to come back which left her with little reason to stick around. [i]Maybe I'll find another contender. One with more bite and less bark.[/i] On her way out she couldn't resist comment on Lynn's idea of her childhood. "Deary me, I could say the same thing to you. After all I don't recall threatening to blind anyone." Despite the way she was playing it off the remark did make her think about her father. One she never had. Even if Vespera cared it would be impossible to find him. Her power lineage seemed to be exclusively among females and unless her father was a powerful meta he was likely dead anyways. In fact there was a high possibility that her mother or her siblings and herself ate him. If she could remember that far back she would for curiosities sake.

"So long." She waved in the fashion one would to shoo a pest and slipped out of the cafeteria. [i]Time to check who I'm stuck with this year.[/i]
