[color=seagreen]“You, hrm, don’t eat much of Suki’s cooking do you,”[/color]

Tsubomi caught herself before shaking her head. If this was going to work as an experiment, she couldn't reveal that yet. All she'd have to do is make sure she didn't eat any of it herself. Which meant that as soon as the smell of the food became apparent, her sloth-like mindset fell away. Sure, Rei said she'd protect her, but that wasn't going to be enough. Tsubomi's guard was up now, and for good reason. So by the time Roche started putting the "food" in front of everyone, Tsubomi was back to her quick-thinking state that was usually preserved for life threatening situations. Then again, this was probably exactly that.

Willow had, rightfully, run away. Tsubomi gave her some credit for that, but... When the meal became a monster in form to match its taste... [color=00aeef][i]That's uncalled for.[/i][/color] Luckily, it seemed to focus on Willow, which was good for her. 

[color=00aeef]"Sorry, I'm on a diet recently. Need to keep my carbs down."[/color] she said, still [i]sounding[/i] as detached as before, at the least. And it wasn't even technically a lie! She [i]was[/i] on a diet, as of thirty seconds ago. She was even going to stick to it for a week or so, since that's about how long the leftovers would "last" before "going bad." [color=00aeef]"I'm not used to it yet, but it just hit me that I drank too much soda to be able to manage this into it."[/color]

Still though, she found herself poking at the food with her utensils, popping the bubbles that rose from it occasionally and flipping it over itself several times. Having to fake caring for people's feelings was exhausting, and she was ready to go home and finally relax from the day for real. But this was an opportunity, so she found herself stealing glances at the Club Leader, which quickly gave way to full-on staring at her to see how she'd handle the situation.
