Cecilia wasn't eating with as much "vigor" as she had at the start, her appetite diminishing while she was alone with her thoughts. She did, however, finish her rice ball, finding it a pleasant and refreshing surprise. But even the rice delicacy couldn't keep her mind off things for long. She peered out the window next to her as she somberly mulled the day over. It was her habit, though it felt off since the outside wasn't speeding by her. "Hmm?" Her attention quickly shifted to Edmond, smiling and carrying a plate of desserts. "Edmond? You want to seat? Sure," she answered with a slight smile. She wasn't expecting nor feeling up to having company, but she couldn't just say no either.

She sat up in slight alarm when she saw James and Helena come over. Her eyes eyed her less than finished lunch, her mind racing. Perhaps she should have finished earlier so she could have spent some time somewhere secluded. Either way, she definitely didn't feel ready to see Helena right now. But there was nowhere for her to go. So she just nodded and smiled nervously, trying to seem as accommodating as possible. "Ah... N-not at all, you two. Pl-Please sit anywhere," she skittishly answered them.
