[h2][center]Oswald Connoly- Team CODE Dorm [/center][/h2]

Ah, food. Bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Oswald nodded in appreciation and let out a quiet thanks to his team leader. Taking a moment to set a plate for himself and avoiding Emerald's manic dash to go meet up with Gren, Oswald rolled to his bed and carefully re-positioned himself so that we was now sitting on it instead of the chair. 

He wanted to comment on Diamond's...demanding behavior, but decided against it. The food was actually pretty good, and even more so after a weekend in the damned infirmary. Her pushiness was far from the worst thing he'd dealt with, after all...

The mention of family almost sent Oswald back into his melancholy, but he instead simply answered with a short sigh. "My parents are fine, it's just...I doubt they even know about this 'Family Day.' Brookeborough's pretty isolationist, even by the standards of other villages outside the major cities. And even if they did know, it's not like they could just get on board an airship and fly over. It's essentially a total no-fly zone over the village." Growing up, he sometimes wondered why movies had so many airships in them when he'd only seen them a few times before coming to Vale. Their abundance in modern society had surprised him. 

"It's actually a little better that way, I think. They worry too much about me. I'm..." He wanted to say 'fine.' He wanted to say 'okay.' He wanted to say [i]something[/i], but they knew better. He didn't feel like pretending. "I'm down for helping you guys practice, I guess. Don't really have anything better to do."
