[Center][h2][color=teal]Mora Kingsly[/color][/h2] Interacting with: [@Solace], [@wolverbells],[@Jinxer], [@letmedostuff] ---[/center] Mora audibly gagged as Lauren stepped up to her threat and shoveled more of the stew into her mouth. Quickly she snatched the spoon back from her friend with a scowl, [color=teal]"Horrendous."[/color] she huffed before setting her own pace on chocking down the stuff. Meanwhile Jade set herself on talking to the cadets around them, getting her feathers particularly ruffled when Reese commented on Sano's odd character. [Color=teal]"She's right you know."[/color] Mora tacked on as she poked at whatever mystery vegetable floated around in her soup. Looking back at Lauren she noted the smile didn't quite reach the girl's eyes. With that Mora openly wore a frown on her face, [color=teal]"Can't say I knew the boy but,"[/color] she lifted her head to look over at Reese, [color=teal]"Like a lot of us here he's probably just managing the beat be can. Like us. We're all just, managing."[/color] The foulness that sat on her tongue no longer came from the cooks poor attempt at a meal but from her own bitterness. She pushed away the dish once more, this time not in disgust. With the way Lauren looked she doubted the girl would fuss st her too much. After all she did manage to take in at least half of what was given to her. Meanwhile the boy who had showed up late had spoken up, just a brief summary of who he was and what brought him here. [Color=teal]"Well, we welcome you Grant. I'm Mora, or better known as Hero."[/color] she remarked with as much chipperness as she could muster as she picked up her bowl and offered it to the boy. [Color=teal]"Please,you're [i]more[/i] than welcome to the rest of mine. Plus, if you don't eat Miss. Medic over here will shove it down your gullet anyhow."[/color] she teased trying to bring back Lauren's good nature.
