"Hmph... right... this job doesn't give many chances to eat, does it..." Kentoria muttered with a long sigh"I think I'm good.." Adrian said as he just watched Olorin eat.
"You've... never had a fruit salad?" Elis asked.
Charlotte fist's clenched and unclenched. She walked over to the masked man and stared down at him, her eyes hard.The Masked Man was sitting in his study, staring into one of his journals. His one revealed away was cold, steely, unmoved by Charlotte's presence in his room as he simply wrote something down in it. It was obvious he noticed her, as she could see him glance around to look at her, but he just looked back at his journal, disregarding her presence.
"I could eat... I just don't want to." Adrian said, "I prefer to exhaust all my stamina before I go waste resources, if that makes sense...""Hmph... right... this job doesn't give many chances to eat, does it..." Kentoria muttered with a long sigh
"No..." Olorin responded, forking another fruit and putting it in her mouth
The Masked Man turned to Ryu, and then to Charlotte.Charlotte fist's clenched and unclenched. She walked over to the masked man and stared down at him, her eyes hard.
".........."
"....You knew this would happen, right?" She said quietly. A swirl of emotion bubbled in her chest as she glared at the man.
"Right now our resources are plentiful, it's doubtful we'll be getting attacked by anything that won't automatically be disintegrated by something or another, so just eat, even if I have the same feelings on the matter..." Kentoria responded, shaking herself a bit"I could eat... I just don't want to." Adrian said, "I prefer to exhaust all my stamina before I go waste resources, if that makes sense..."
"Oh, well, I guess I should just start expecting my friends not to have tried common foods based on you're uh... pasts." Elis said, though she didn't remember her past or childhood, so she couldn't really relate.
"........." Charlotte stared at the man, gritting her teeth.The Masked Man turned to Ryu, and then to Charlotte.
"...Be blunt, Charlotte. Why are you here?"
The Masked man would then turn to Ryu, "I'd ask the same thing of you as well, Ryu..."
"...." Adrian let out a sigh, "Call it a principle thing, I guess... If you're so hung-up over it go eat something yourself. I'll follow after. And yeah, we can spar.""Right now our resources are plentiful, it's doubtful we'll be getting attacked by anything that won't automatically be disintegrated by something or another, so just eat, even if I have the same feelings on the matter..." Kentoria responded, shaking herself a bit
"Spar afterwards?" Kentoria asked Adrian
"Y-yeah... ha... it's... what is the word..." Olorin responded
"I was planning to- after you did it yourself." Kentoria responded as Olorin dug to try and find the word for what she was tasting and coming up blank"...." Adrian let out a sigh, "Call it a principle thing, I guess... If you're so hung-up over it go eat something yourself. I'll follow after. And yeah, we can spar."
"Don't **** with me, Boss." She growled, taking a threatening step closer.The Masked Man simply continued to write in his journal, "You all test my patience..." He would say to himself before closing his journal, setting the pen to the side.
"Even if I do or don't, it doesn't matter. We were defeated. How exactly is that my fault?"
Adrian sighed, just going over to the fridge to see what they had to eat. It was mostly some fresh fruits and vegetables that Elis had to make the salad, but, at the bottom, there was some reheatable chicken and shit like that, Adrian pulling it out and chewing into it without reheating it."I was planning to- after you did it yourself." Kentoria responded as Olorin dug to try and find the word for what she was tasting and coming up blank
Charlotte stared at the man for a long moment, her lips trembling slightly as her fists unclenched and clenched continually, as if she was unsure if she wanted to attack.The Masked man let out a sigh to both Charlotte and Ryu, just standing up, his one eye glaring into Charlotte's.
"Use your brain, Charlotte. If I knew he was going to return, don't you think I would've told you all? Don't be an idiot, or you'll do something you regret. Sit down." The Masked Man said calmly.
Kentoria got some ham, lettuce, and an apple and ate thoseAdrian sighed, just going over to the fridge to see what they had to eat.

"Don't worry about it, Olorin! All that matters is that you like it!" Elis said, her shoulder nuzzling against Olorin's.

"Use your brain, Charlotte. If I knew he was going to return, don't you think I would've told you all? Don't be an idiot, or you'll do something you regret. Sit down." The Masked Man said calmly.
"Charlotte... Exactly what merit would I gain from lying to you guys about that? Like, really, think past your grief and use your head, as I know you're a smart woman. What. Do. I. Gain?" The Masked Man asked, crossing his arms.Charlotte stared at the man for a long moment, her lips trembling slightly as her fists unclenched and clenched continually, as if she was unsure if she wanted to attack.
".....You...you really didn't know anything about it? You...didn't know he'd return....?" Charlotte said quietly. The aggression in her voice was waning, slowly being replaced with empty despair as he stared at the man.
Adrian swallowed the food, then just sat down as he waited for Olorin to finish eating, keeping guard even if he knew nothing could actually really get into the ship unless the GM pulled a funny, but it was clearly simply on instinct.Kentoria got some ham, lettuce, and an apple and ate those
"A-alright...!" Olorin responded, blushing and starting to really eat
Kentoria did as well, visibly on edge"Charlotte... Exactly what merit would I gain from lying to you guys about that? Like, really, think past your grief and use your head, as I know you're a smart woman. What. Do. I. Gain?" The Masked Man asked, crossing his arms.
"Because if you need someone to place the blame on... Don't. Cope with someone else, not me."

Elis just smiled as she watched Olorin eat, clearly happy that Olorin seemed to enjoy her food.

"Because if you need someone to place the blame on... Don't. Cope with someone else, not me."
"Good..." The Masked Man said, going back to sit at his desk.Charlotte stared at the man, her gaze lingering before she collapsed onto a nearby chair, her body trembling. He was right. A part of her did want to blame him. Shift the blame from anyone but herself for not rescuing her family in time. The Masked Man was shady, he was easy to demonize. She thought...she hoped...that it was he was the bad guy in all this...that she didn't need to feel all the guilt, all the hatred towards herself. She stared at the ground for a moment, holding back a sob.
"......." She said nothing for a few moments, before taking a shaky breath out.
"...Y...you're right." She said weakly.
"....I...I..."
"...I'm sorry..." She muttered.
"B-but..." Olorin murmured, shaking her head as she continued eating"Oh, I'm fine, Olorin. I'll eat later!" Elis said, shaking her head.
"If I knew how to stop it I would've done so already, Ryu..." The Masked Man said, sighing."....." Ryu only went silent as he heard thr masked man's word.
"Fine, but we still need to stop the eclipse, do you have a hint how to stop it boss?" Ask Ryu.
"I'm just worried... it's just..." Olorin then sighed out as she ate, clearly trying to deal with her own trauma but partly failing"O-Olorin, really, just enjoy your meal...!" Elis said with a smile, placing her hand on Olorin's shoulder as she ate, shaking her head once more.
"....alright, I won't ask any question." Says Ryu"If I knew how to stop it I would've done so already, Ryu..." The Masked Man said, sighing.
"Well, don't be, Olorin... Trust me when I say I'll eat later, alright?" Elis said, trying her best to comfort her "friend" with a smile."I'm just worried... it's just..." Olorin then sighed out as she ate, clearly trying to deal with her own trauma but partly failing
"If your really so concerned, Ryu, then go train." The Masked Man said, "We'll be leaving soon, anyway... If your so concerned, then I'm sure that there are plenty of people here willing to spar with you.""....alright, I won't ask any question." Says Ryu
we still need to fight against it, how do we beat him? Thought Ryu
"A-alright..." Olorin murmured as she reached the end of her bowl, breathing out deeply as she looked at the ground, comforted but also not feeling the greatest about it"Well, don't be, Olorin... Trust me when I say I'll eat later, alright?" Elis said, trying her best to comfort her "friend" with a smile.
