Ivy bounced around the tables from the tables of food. She was having a hard time deciding what she wanted. She grabbed a plate before continuing her journey around the tables. She pick food randomly. She grabbed a piece of pizza and a cupcake. Kyle would have a for if he saw the sugar. She loved sweets but her brother forbids her to have them. He said that she had enough energy without them. She continued to put things in his plate hopping he wouldn't notice.

@LiegeLord
Would have looked at James skeptically after his fist statement if he hadn't chuckled after, perhaps with a look that read "you saying Ivory isn't talented?". But as it happened, she looked up with a shy smile when when she felt his foot playfully touch her own. "James," she daintily protested under a fair blush that grew a little when she gazed at him. It was his next question that seemed to break her out of it sightly as she thought of her little project. "O-Oh? W-Well it wasn't anything that special. I just kind of made a flip book out of a pack of sticky notes... I thought it would be something different and well, I'm just glad Ivory seemed to like it," Cecilia said looking down to her fork slowly dancing around her salad.

@Mangrale

"Well more then what I made." Would say with a soft laugh to himself. Looking at her now, it was hard for him to not admit how cute and adorable she looked when she blushes. But knowing some girls, he wouldn't say anything about it to avoid flustering her and making her upset. Though he would admit one tiny thing. "Though I do mean it all, including that you are really sweet.. at least to me..." He would say as he looks down at his plate, sighing softly. Was he saying the wrong thing? He may not be but he was getting the feeling he was. It was hard for him to properly say what he wanted to say without it coming out right, but he really was trying. Looking around at everyone, it seemed that lunch would be over soon. Looking at Cecilia with a smile as he spoke. "Well, shall we get that plate for Ivory before lunch gets over?" Getting up out of his seat, waiting for her. Gently taking her hand if she would let him as he walked with her to get the plate, though depending on if he took the plate or not would be if he opened the door for her or not. Though Cecilia is Ivory's first friend it seems to him anyway, so he would let her call the shots on this.

@LiegeLord
Cecilia giggled when James reassured her about her project. She was pretty curious about what he made or at least planned to make. "Th-Thanks James. I try my best, but you just make it so easy. I always feel at ease around you," she said, looking up from her plate and tenderly at him. She sort of wanted to ask what brought this on from him, but she wasn't complaining. It felt nice for him to say so, and she couldn't help but resume her gaze. "Oh, r-right. We should get a move on," she said in agreement, taking James' hand and heading for the buffet once again, silently enjoying the walk over there. "I was thinking of giving Ivory some things that aren't too um exotic, something that she's sure to enjoy." Cecilia picked out some diced fruit and looked to James to pick out a main food item before they left for the workshop.

@Mangrale

James would rather enjoy the company, even more holding her hand. Ever since the rock climbing, he was seeing it was easier for him and her to do it out in public. Of course he isn't going to complain. Looking over the buffet table with her as she picked out some diced fruits, her stating to pick stuff not as exotic that she may enjoy. Which he was nervous about, he didn't know her. How was he suppose to pick something she may enjoy? Taking the idea from Cecilia with her fruit, he would think a bit. Looking around the table and picking things that he may think she would like, the idea of vegetarian coming into his mind. But what if she wasn't a vegetarian? Would it be rude if they had just fruits and such on the plate? Biting his lip softly as he looked at her. "W-Well you spent more time with her... what do you think she may like? I just wanna make sure she likes what we get her."

@Varicke"Yeah but your horns and tail are not odd they are awesome." Max said following Kaeden over to the window. Looking out the window Max saw the tall pines and many multicolored flowers that dotted the hills. Max thought to him self 'This is why I draw, to freeze moments like these" as Max closes his eyes. "The teeth and eyes would be hard to notice." Max says taking a deep breath and opening his eyes as he turns back around leaning on the window seal. "No you haven't, Then again its my fault for not asking." Max says as he watches in awe as the metal seemed to grow from thin air and take form into a gauntlet."Now that's cool!" max says quietly as he listens to Kaeden's explanation. "That's fine you can show me later if you don't mind" Max says smiling. When Kaeden asked to see his smoke ability Max chuckled saying "Maybe somewhere more enclosed so I don't lose anything again."

Kyle wished he had time to make friends. Watching the others interact with each other. So far his interactions had been limited to saving someone from his sister's attention. He had been hoping that this camp would offer him more. He couldn't just left Ivy wonder though. She was his responsibility. Which meant his chances of making the connections the counselors kept talking about difficult to make.

He made his way through the line picking simple goods in case He had to go after Ivy. Good should keep her occupied long enough for him to eat. But with Ivy you never knew. She bounced around the good tables eating one thing while piling things on her plate.

@LiegeLord
Cecilia had reached over to take some utensils while she heard James make hos point. "I-I don't quite know her tastes. I'm just guessing with the fruit... Um, maybe the grilled chicken will be a good choice," she wondered aloud, deciding on two choice pieces unless James had another idea. As the last of her suggestions she'd hover over the macaroni, particularly the cheesy and elbow kind, smiling back at James. If he was intent on having her make the choices, she felt pretty good about these, though she wouldn't mind if he wanted to pick something also. "I think what we have should be enough," she would say by the end, holding the plate up to carry outside. "I hope she likes what we have."

@Mangrale

Waiting for what she would think would be good, nervous and feeling bad that he didn't choose anything. But he was confident in Cecilia that she would pick something that Ivory would like. Besides this would be a learning piece for both of them. James smiling and nodding at the selection, stopping her though as he adds a little chocolate pudding on the side. Dessert afterall, then again maybe she doesn't like dessert. Either way something else to add to the plate. Chuckling as he walked with Cecilia, making sure to keep the path clear for her so the plate doesn't get spilled out of her hands and opening the door for her so she can walk out. Heading out after as Neric quietly follows them, not trying to make a sound and staying behind them. James looking at Cecilia as they walk. "I hope she likes it all, but guess we can always learn if she doesn't or if we figure out what she does like?" Laughing softly as they near the art activity, looking at the girl beside him as he smiled. She looked rather pretty outside, he couldn't place his finger on it. Humming softly as he opened the door to the building, letting her walk in as he tried to figure out why he thought that. Maybe it was just the moment, Neric quickly walking in the closing door behind them.

@LiegeLord@deerling
Cecilia felt silly having forgotten about dessert, but liked James' choice nonetheless, giggling as they left the dining hall. She was half expecting them to be stopped for trying to bring food outside, but the fact that they weren't came as a pleasant surprise. Still though, she kept her focus down to the plate, not wanting to let anything slip by her not paying attention. "Yeah you're right. I guess I really shouldn't be as nervous as I am now, huh?" she lightly admitted, taking a moment to look his way. Anxious as she was though, she took a good deal of strength having him beside her. Stepping into the workshop, she scanned for Ivory around where she had left her. "I-Ivory? We're back..."

@Mangrale@LiegeLord

Ivory jumped a little, the silence interrupted. She blinked, looking around before finding Cecilia and James. She shyly spoke, "H-Hey CC, J-James." She quietly spoke to them both. She set down her pencil, but kept her paper in her lap, covering it with her hands. She smelled the delicious food, quietly feeling guilty. She took their time from each other away, just for food. "C-CC, I s-said you didn't have t-to get me anything..." She shyly pressed, her eyes looking at her lap again.

@LiegeLord@deerling
Cecilia wasn't all that happy with herself that she had disturbed Ivory like she had when they first met, but was still very happy to see her. "I know you said you didn't want anything, but you see: James insisted and I really couldn't say no," she joked as she looked to James as she stepped closer and set the plate down for her, her eyes softening. "I'm just kidding... I insisted. I hope you don't think I'm stubborn or did I this because I don't care how you feel. I really wanted to do this for you and so did James. There are times when I also feel uncomfortable in crowds and I just couldn't do nothing. I hope you understand... you don't have to eat if you really don't want to."

@Mangrale

Ivory glanced at James when he was mentioned. She quietly nodded, understanding what Cecilia said and felt. She looked up at the plate in interest at what she and James got. Her eyes widened at the sliced fruit, and smiled. "I-I love sliced f-fruit!" Ivory exclaimed in her quiet voice, grabbing for a piece. She instantly started nibbling it. She always nibbled her food. It was just how she was. "T-Thank you, C-CC,
James..." She shyly thanked them, enjoying the sliced fruit.

@Mangrale@deerling

James wouldn't say much as he watched Cecilia and Ivory, it was rather nice. Hearing their conversations and how Cecilia was acting only really made the choice better. He was happy that Cecilia made a new friend, he didn't want to be the only one she hung out with. Though he enjoyed the time, it would just be unfair to her. Chuckle softly after some time, speaking up. "Sliced Fruit, that gives me an idea of what you like." Finally walking over so he could join their group, standing or sitting beside Cecilia. Soon enough Neric would jump onto the table in his cat like form. But soon the black cloud would envelop him. "There you are Neric, was wondering where you went."

Though to all their surprise, the used to be black cloud of a cat would appear out of the cloud as a small bunny. Cute little thing really, if a true idea of what it was he took. The bunny would be a mini rex. Acting out the similar way an actually bunny would act, even with his slower movement. "I think I heard before that someone loved bunnies." crawling over to Cecilia and Ivory, but keeping his distance just in cause they didn't like the idea. But his fur would be just as soft as the real thing if they wanted to pet him or such. For Ivory's case it would feel gritty for a few seconds before he got used to her touch. Then she could feel what may be real bunny fur in her hand

@deerling@Mangrale
Cecilia's joy was quite palpable. She could hardly contain it. But she managed pretty well. "I'm glad you like it! Take your time alright?" she said. This felt like an achievement in and of itself. But for fear of ruining the moment, Cecilia tried to quietly pick out a chair nearby, nodding at James to join her. "I'm relieved we went with the fruit then. I'd be more than happy to take the dishes back when you're done, alright?" She could rest easy with the most nerve-wracking part now over. She looked to James for a moment, nostalgically remembering a promise she made on the first day. He may have forgotten, be she hadn't. And few things would make her happier than for James to make friends here as well. Just then, Neric hopped on onto the table, taking the form of a bunny, which coaxed a good chuckle from her. "Aww Neric, you were feeling neglected, weren't you?" she teased, her hand coming over to pet him around the back.

@LiegeLord@Mangrale

Ivory smiled at both of them. She quietly nibbled on he fruit some more, listening to him both. She felt comfortable with them both. She enjoyed them both a lot, they were awesome. Just then, Neric hopped onto the table, the form of a bunny. It caught Ivory by surprise, but her eyes filled with joy seeing the bunny form Neric had. She watched Cecilia pet him, and shyly reached her hand out. She quietly and gently stroked his head, letting her hand trail behind his ears and lightly scratch there, watching carefully for any signs of him not liking it. A small smile finally reached upon her face, her eyes filled with happiness.

@Mangrale

"Actually no, on the contrary I haven't been this noticed and appreciated, besides one other person I was with, in many years. It's something I'm getting used to but rather liking." Staying calm as they pet him, making little breathing movements with his nose and body. Though he doesn't breath. Looking over at Cecilia before slowly hopping over to her, wanting to have both the girl's attention. But also to see if it will help Ivory accept him a little better and easier, staying there so both of them could pet him if they wanted.

James watched as the two of them pet his Void, chuckling softly as he looked at Cecilia. "Well glad you grabbed the fruit, I knew that you knew what you were doing." Chuckling softly again before sighing quietly and contently, his hand moving to rub the little void bunny's head. He had to admit, this was a first for him and Neric. He never saw his void turn into one before and didn't know how cute he was when he was a bunny.

@deerling@LiegeLord
"Yeah, yeah," Cecilia said with a big and silly grin. Looking up at the others, she couldn't help but think of how good a picture of this would look like. She was fairly certain she hadn't told anyone this, but that flip book really was the first time she had shown anyone her work. But Ivory made her seriously consider letting others see her drawings more often. She continued petting Neric, quietly cheering Ivory on when she joined in by petting the Void's head. Cecilia was content to spend the rest of the break like this.

@Blueflame

"What, you mean like your clothes?" Kaeden laughed out.

"But yeah, maybe I can show you my wings outside sometime when I'm more awake." his attention suddenly fell back onto his gauntlets as he examined them.

"I don't actually know what these things are made of, but man do I enjoy them a little too much. Sometimes I just summon them to scratch things up; it's oddly fun. They've also gotten me out of a couple sticky situations but hey, you try opening clamshell packaging without a pair of scissors or knives." Kaeden began swiping at the air to accentuate his point. He was interrupted by another yawn, the gauntlets suddenly disintegrating.

...

He spaced out lazily staring at his now bare hands. "... Oh. The items kind of disappear when my mind isn't totally there. So no flying when I'm sleepy, otherwise I'll be plummeting over 200 miles per hour to my death."

@Soph123 @Mangrale @LiegeLord @deerling @Varicke @Blueflame

Once again it was time to change activities. The counselors had something special planned for after lunch. Usually the activity after lunch was sports related. This would be too just not in a way that the teens would be used to. This sport would focus more on their powers then the other activities had.
