Valorie didn’t request anything to eat and only sipped on a glass of tea for the duration of the lunch. She had new nerves to deal with that the tea helped with. Not because she was requested by Emilia, rather she didn’t expect Gresham to be here. What was there to say to him after all? It was a pleasure to know he was still alive and doing well, it was also reminding her of her father. Valorie didn’t go out of her way to talk to him over the previous three years after the conflict. In this case, she would rather talk to Emilia than Gresham, however she nodded earlier because she knew she needed to talk to him at some point as they are on a train as fellow alchemists on a mission. Avoiding him would only be trouble for both of them and of harm to their task.
She wasn’t the one who would need to approach however, as she would be reading a small book at the table when the lunch was over. Humming to herself quietly while doing so. The book was likely one most haven’t heard of, and was simply a short story. It may be her last chance for a while due to the mission to enjoy turning the page after all. Valorie seemingly stopped examining the other alchemists and didn’t care to approach and learn more for now. They weren’t enemies after all, so she didn’t need to jump into concerning herself with them, though she was more than happy to talk if asked to.
