Kalinda tentativlely took a small bite of her own piece of pizza, wary that it might not be as good as she remembered. She needn't have worried, it was just as good, if not better then she remembered. She didn't particularly care if she was being messy or not, as she broke the stringy cheese apart with her free Ba d, sticking it ontop of the pizza once more.

She happily devoured the pizza, wiping her hands, and wishing for more, before dutifully eating her vegetables and drank the drink Ju-long had poored for them all. She smiled happily, leaning back and stretching, well pleased.

The food had been good, and Kalinda would have gladly eaten more, but she was content. "So far, today hadn't really been that demanding" Kalinda said, simply to try and strike up a conversation.

Dimitri was at a loss right now, he wasn't used to dealing with people, let alone people that were in a dejected sort of mood. The meister's eyes darted from side to side, almost as if searching for the quickest route to run away now that he'd been given the choice. He wanted to run, but something kept him rooted in his seat. He felt somewhat bad for Alissa, what's more he felt that they were sort of cut from the same cloth. Both of them lacked companionship, and even though the reasons why were different, the results were still the same.

Dimitri hesitantly reached out, a bit unsure about what he was doing. His hand hovered in the air for a few moments before he silently nodded to assure himself of what he was doing before he leaned across the table and placed his hand on Alissa's head. "I already agreed to become your partner, didn't I? Don't you think it's kinda goofy to give me the option to opt out? We're in this for the long haul.". He sat there ruffling her hair gently for a bit before sitting back in his chair, a small smile creeping in the corners of his mouth, "You won't be rid of me that easily.".

Alissa looked up briefly at Dimitri, her face a mix of embarrassment and hope, then in a shimmer of light, she wasn't there, and in her place was a sword about the length of Dimitri's forearm, wrapped in chains, paper tape, and what looked like sealing talismans. it was almost impossible to see the black leather sheath hidden beneath it all. Strangely, the hilt of the sword was disproportionately large to the blade, looking like it would fit easily in Dimitri's hand.

Regan was getting a little hungry by now, actually. She'd been wandering since class ended, her meister gone off on his own. She'd had some small indication that... perhaps they weren't so compatible. Oh well. They'd figure out who they wanted to partner with, but maybe it wasn't each other. Their common roots made her thing they would be compatible, but perhaps that logic was too simple.

The young lady found herself wandering into a cantena, her eyes glancing around the room with a mild surprise. "Aah, look where I am." She spots her classmates and smiles softly, approaching and bowing courteously. "Hey, guys. May I sit?" She assumes a yes, as these are her classmates, and moves toward and empty seat, though she waits for someone to actually say something before she sits down.

When Ju-Long returned he immediatly commented on Victorique her shirt which made Victorique immediatly look doen and back at Ju-Long with a wide spread blush on her face probably looking like a little child right now. Victorique gently took the handkerchief from him and removed the remaining bits of pizza from her chest and cheeks. Her eyee glanced over at Kalinda her plate while giving the handkerchief back in the process. Kalinda had almost the same dishes as herself and it made her nothing more but hungry for another slice of pizza. Victorique stared at Kalinda her pizza for a long period of time and almost begged for only a little bit but Kalinda did not give in and continued eating. Victorique unintrestedly dropped her chin om the table again while twirling her finger right next to her on the table. She didn't find the need to eat any vegetables or fruit right now and ignored the remaining dishes on her plate and instead looked over to Ju-Long his plates.

He had a rather weird combination of food and a lot of it too. She wondered if he would eat all of it. Victorique remained looking at his plate while sneakily stealing all Kalinda her tomatoes of her salad. Victorique her intrest was captured by the newcommer who appraoched the three their table. Victorique stared at her for a few seconds before giving a vague reply to her by double nodding. As the other person sat down she grabbed a hold of her tea and lightly started sipping it. It was still hot but the flavour of the tea was rather delicious although she didn't have tea that often. After her tea she kept staring at her classmate who just joined them with her mouth slightly open.

Dimitri gave a soft yelp of surprise as the sudden bright light hurt his eyes. He rubbed them, being unaccustomed to weapon transformations as he'd never had a partner, though the discomfort caused by the sudden flash was quickly forgotten when he stopped rubbing his eyes to look at Alissa, or rather, her weapon state. The meister reached across the table once more and grabbed the sword, noting that the long hilt of the weapon somehow balanced Alissa even with her sheath and all of its extra components.

Dimitri held Alissa by her hilt and sheath, spared a moment to look around to make sure no one was watching him, then tried to pull the sword from the sheath. It wouldn't budge, not even a single inch. Dimitri tried once more, this time adding more strength to his pull, but not enough to where he felt he might hurt Alissa, if it was at all possible in her current state. He tugged four more times, before finally giving up and placing Alissa on the table. "Quite a pickle..." He mused aloud as he shifted attention to the sheath, lightly tapping down its length to see how sturdy it is. "Looks like it might be able to stand up to a far bit of stress. The chains should be especially useful in blocking..." He said as he ran his fingers across the chains. He continued to caress the weapon for a few seconds before he remembered three details that where not only vital, but extremely awkward: This weapon was a person, it was a person that happened to be female, and Dimitri had zero clue about how weapon anatomy worked. Dimitri's cheeks flushed red as he stopped to consider what exactly he was doing before he began to stammer. "Oh Death I forgot it was still you! I really hope this isn't weird! I'm not touching you inappropriately a-am I? I'm so so sorry if i'm doing something wrong here! Wait, can you hear me?" He asked all in one breath.

Alissa

"It doesn't matter," Alissa's voice sounded in Dimitri's mind. "I am a weapon, a tool of war. Frivilous things like embarrassment or personal feelings only get in the way." Light shone once more as she transformed back, still lying on the table. She pushed herself up and swung her legs over the edge, staying still for a moment before jumping off.

"I'm going to go find food..." She said shortly, starting to move towards the door.

"So far, today hadn't really been that demanding" Kalinda spoke trying to create a conversation, while Victorique was staring at Ju-Long, his food and eating Kalinda's tomatoes. Ju-Long was quite the fast and clean eater, he was mostly done with his two plates when Kalinda spoke up. Finishing the food in his mouth, he replied, "Well, that's how orientations are I guess. More of a get to know the people around you session."

As he was about to take another bite, another classmate came into the cafeteria and approached the table. It was Regan, she asked if she could sit with them. "Sure you can. No problems here." he replied, indicating for her to take a seat. Ju-Long then continued to eat his food, finishing it not long afterwards.

Drinking some of his tea, Ju-Long tried to continue the conversation. "Any of you interested in taking on a mission from the mission bulletin? I was thinking of heading out later. Having others to help would mean taking on different kinds of missions."

Kalinda had not been aware that they could take missions right how. Wouldn't it be better to focus on the classes? Still, if they could take missions...then it would be good experience. She gave a shrug, chewing a carrort thoughtfully. She glanced over at the new comer, then back at Ju-long.

"I hadn't thought about any missions yet. Haven't even looked at the board. Maybe it would be good to do one. Were there any good ones?" she asked, trying very hard not to notice that Victorique was stealing her tomatoes. It didn't bother her, and Kalinda found it amusing.

She looked back to the new comer, a fellow classmate, not wanting to ask what her name was, just in case it had already been said in class. She didn't want to seem rude

"O-oh." Dimitri muttered somewhat pathetically as he watched his partner head towards the door. The meister sat back in his chair and shook his head as he tried to figure his partner out. Even with his social ineptitude Dimitri knew that it wasn't quite normal to switch between concerned and indifferent so quickly, 'That girl's certainly an odd one. I hope she isn't bipolar.' He mused before cracking open his book and pulling out his phone to snap a few pictures of the pages he'd dog-eared, as well as a few of the map he'd grabbed.

A rumbling in Dimitri's stomach alerted him to his own hunger, eliciting a heavy sigh from him as he realized it wasn't the sort of hunger that would be solved with the candy in his pockets, that is unless he was willing to workout twice as hard when he got back to his apartment to burn off the extra sugar and empty calories. Dimitri straightened out the corners of the books he'd brought to the table and got up to set them and the map back in their correct spots before he jogged after his weapon to catch up.

Victorique quietly listened to the two of them talking to each other and kept on stealing Kalinda her food before replying back to them while lying down on the table only looking at those two "Maybe I and Kalinda kould train a little first." Her voice was quiet and she didn't say much more. It took some time for her to notice Ju-Long's plate had been completely devoured. Her expression was a little surprise knowing he ate all that food himself. She still refrained from talking and kept quietly staring at his two plates with her mouth just slightly open. She had a blank expression on her face when she looked under the table and all around Ju-Long to look for the missing food. It was impossible to have eaten all that food all alone but she couldn't find a trace anywhere. After some deep searching she was closely to his face and was strictly but with a blank look on her face staring at him to find out what happened.

As Kalinda spoke, Ju-Long listened, seeing Victorique in the corner of his eye steal Kalinda's food. "I hadn't thought about any missions yet. Haven't even looked at the board. Maybe it would be good to do one. Were there any good ones?"
"Maybe I and Kalinda kould train a little first." Victorique spoke up.
"I haven't actually looked at it either, recently. Last time I saw one for Mary Ann Cotton, a serial killer who uses arsenic poisoning and one for Jack the Ripper. But some one has probably taken those already. It is updated fairly regularly, so yeah. At least it was during my time in EAT. Also, you didn't have to attend all classes due to the missions, although I don't know how it is for our new class." Ju-Long replied. "As for training, that would probably be wise."

Um...
What's up?
She's looking at brother strangely.
What's going on?
The sleepy one has been looking at you strangely and your plate

"What's up Victorique? Is there something strange?" he asked her.

Kalinda listened, and just nodded, feeling That there wasn't a need to comment, and looking over at Victorique, she couldn't help but chuckle. "I think she's wondering how you ate so much" she said. Unable to help the amusememt. Victorique was probably older then her, and yet, she seemed so young and innocent. It was adorable.

It made Kalinda want to protect her, and she thought on more classes with the Kyukon water. Victorique didn't seem to have the stamina to keep up with the use of it. The teacher had told them to mention if someone was having trouble, but then left. But did she want to mention that Victorique was having trouble and potential lose her on the class? A tough choice. Maybe, if Kalinda could get her hands on some of the water, she could help Victorique train with it, to help build resistance to it.

Her attention to the conversation and the group had drifted off, and she Realised that she was probably starring at seome. She shook her head, and shifted, returning to what was being said, if anything
