[color=aba000][i]Maybe I should have saved my kittens...?[/i][/color] Haas was mulling over his placement duel, wondering how he could have played it better. The guy couldn't see it, though... Wasn't he just doing his best...? This mulling over the past continue for a while, Haas not really paying attention to his surroundings until suddenly-

...He ran into someone and staggered backwards. The guy nearly fell over as well after THAT show of clumsiness, looking around frantically after what just transpired. [color=aba000][b]"What did I-?"[/b][/color] Before Haas could finish his sentence, he noticed that girl from earlier knocked onto her behind right in front of him. [color=aba000][b]"OH F- Sorry, Sorry! Let me help you up!"[/b][/color] Haas extended his hand, feeling terrible after having knocked over Tsukiko. After he helped her up, the boy let out a heavy sigh and scratched the back of his neck... Again. [color=aba000][b]"Sorry for knocking you over... Uhmm,... Tsukiko right? I uh, wasn't watching my step."[/b][/color] They sheepishly said, obviously uncomfortable after doing that. [color=aba000][b]"I guess you were planning on grabbing a bite as well?"[/b][/color] Haas questioned.

Ethel didn't really pay any more mind to Zacharie as they seemed to lag behind and not say much more, glancing around the lobby to see where they were actually handing out the food. One of the girls in particular had isolated themselves, sitting against a wall to just silently munch on whatever sandwich she took with the open bottle of water just sitting next to her. Ethel found it looked pretty pathetic, was she really that miffed about losing? Not that Ethel was there to pick up on the match, she just remembered this girl in particular got done in by the first turn. Speaking of people, the three Ael clan members were having some kind of staring contest, not just Venwyn now. What was going on with that?

Ethel took a sandwich with only vegetables on it, wanting to keep her figure in line. Taking a small bite off of it, the girl concluded it wasn't half bad. Nowhere near as good as what she's used to, but not bad. Venwyn seemed to be in an extreme amount of concentration, so Ethel didn't feel the need to bother him. Same thing with those other two, it was as if they were planning something... Taking another good look around the room, the bluenette could only find that redhead girl as anyone of particular interest... And she wasn't going to waste her time with them. Some shouting was coming from the Wind dorm, much to Ethel's grievance. Couldn't people just shut up for a while? Ethel decided to approach Megan anyway, not because she had a particular interest in that girl, but because there was pretty much no other calm place in the area. She took a seat a little ways away, refusing to even look at the red head while taking in another few bites of her food.
