A million words bubbled and died on her tongue as everyone around her chatted. Mora was not one to sit by in idle silence but for now, and with much thanks to Lauren, silence was the only thing that didn't bring her near to tears from pain. Instead, she took everyone in. Noting how much they all had grown in two years. Sure, there was lighthearted play at hand but she noticed something she normally wouldn't had she the ability to socialize freely. There was taunt lines that pulled at the cadets eyes. Weariness and hunger that caused their bodies to droop just a little bit more than normal. She shifted her gaze to the table, 'Have I changed too?' her thoughts swirled. Threatening her with the questions she didn't want to ask. She didn't want to know. What life would be like. How many wrinkles would of been added to her father's Sun worn face. 

Luckily she wasn't left with her thoughts for long as a familiar voice interrupted her. Mora blinked as she watched Sano take up the spot next to her, his odd mannerisms coming to play as he set out to apologize. 'Just be thankful, buddy, that it hurts to talk.' she thought at him but let a small smile grace her lips. She didn't hold it against him. The boys shouldn't have been in the cabin and he was simply doing his duty. 

It was what happened next that made her body shake as she fought back laughter. She watched the boy's face contort as he gasped out after a bite of [i]whatever[/i] was before them and he wasn't alone. Reese sat not to far from them, she watched with amusement as he shoveled the dish in all the while looking like he was starting to sweat any moment. 

Mora looked at her own bowl and then around her. [Color=teal]"Law, Jade, if I die. Remember me fondly."[/color] She croaked before taking a brave bite. 

There was a myriad of sensations that overwhelmed her. First, the warmth from the broth felt nice but that was short lived as the foul concoction only decided to grow in her mouth. She gagged and tried to stifle a cough. [Color=teal]"Mistake."[/color] she squeaked. Even talking didn't hurt as bad as offensive onslaught of spices that simmered. She should've taken the hint from Sano but no. With both hands she shoved the offending dish away from her and laid her head down on the table. [Color=teal]"Law....we need water."[/color]
