Nozomi didn't mind eating in silence even while sitting with another. Conversation starters were not exactly her area of expertise. It was nice just to have someone to share the experience with, and as far as Nozomi was concerned, Usagi was one of the more cheerful members of the class. Nozomi had certainly had a bit of amusement on some instances where Usagi reacted loudly on a test. It was good that she could enjoy her youth like that and Nozomi was mildly envious of the carefree way Usagi seemed to go about things. The two of them sitting together no doubt looked like an odd pair for an outsider's perspective. The calm, cool, mature young lady and the aloof, lazy, cheerful Usagi. 

She had been absorbed in her own little daydreamy sort of world that it took Nozomi a minute to register that Usagi was speaking. After a quick apologetic bow of her head Nozomi followed through, speaking with a reserved tone. "I made it myself. I make all my lunches myself, or at least I try to. When I can't I have to get something from the cafeteria. Is it the same for you? You always seem to enjoy your food so you must be a good cook."
