Anyways, how about getting something to eat?
Gaffe puts on a nervous smile.
"Yeah, I'm getting pretty starved right now."
He starts to head towards the mess hall.
The Draugur pilot mutters to himself as he carves something into his helmet visor with a utility knife, but makes no effort to engage either of you in conversation.
Walter heads to the imperial Messhall to get his ration
Markus goes to get some food
Walking past the recruits, you notice them talking and occasionally casting a paranoid glance your way. Only the gods know what sorts of nasty things they're saying behind your back.
: [Hey Theo, did you hear? PTX subbed episodes 12-16 of
Grand Convoy Jericho already, they're up on their site.]
: [Oh, for real? That's the cave arc, right? With the mutant colony? That was a really talky couple of episodes, I'm surprised they're up already.]
: [I don't believe you two! The entire Aesthian aerial fleet is out there trying to kill us and all you can think about is
bootlegged Kintharian cartoons?]
: [So what? It's a nice distraction from you moping about how we're all gonna die in a few days or hours or whatever you've whittled it down to now. Mind your own business.]
: [It is my business! If you went to that site
on the carrier again, you're gonna lose terminal privileges for all of us!]
oh right, and Scorch. Scorch knows.
He eventually spots the Kintharian uniforms sticking out and heads over to them.
The Imperial mess hall is rather different in one major way from what you're used to on Aesthian carriers and bases. A few long tables span across almost the entire breadth of the room, and rather than individual chairs each table has two equally long benches attached to them. You both spot the Kintharians' white uniforms almost instantly. Nagato greets you with a mumble and scoots aside to make room for you.
: You survived too, Walter? That's good, I hear around half of the force didn't make it back.
Jaakko makes it to the railing within earshot of Yamashiro and Xiaomei. He can't make up his mind on whether or not to talk to them, or whether they would talk with him.
He glances uncomfortably at the two Kintharians, for a split second.
What is there to talk about even if he felt like he could talk? Jaakko draws a blank. He stares at his hand, but pays it no mind, rather listening to Yamashiro and Xiaomei, even if he could only pick out obscenities and a couple common words.
It is outwardly apparent Jaakko doesn't feel well.
Xiaomei and Yamashiro notice you and stop talking among themselves.
: Crash. I think we may have gotten off on the wrong foot here, earlier. We were
under the impression-
She subtly gestures towards Xiaomei with her head. Xiaomei notices anyway and rolls her eyes.
: -that there was no chance you and your squad were going to listen to reason. I'm sorry we came out swinging and trying to kill you.
