[color=6ecff6]"Oh, you're from Solaris too?"[/color] His eyebrows were raised. [color=6ecff6]"Then this might not be the first time we met. I've been there for over half the decade now. I realized I like academia a lot more than I imagined. A lot more than the food there, of course."[/color] As he made a sarcastic remark over the cafeteria menu. Ok, he might have been quite harsh on the menu. He actually enjoyed some of the servings there. But only if it was occasional. Because a lot of them were fast food, having them three meals a day everyday would likely drive one into insanity. The term 'Freshman 15' is there for a reason. But that wasn't a problem for Thomas. He had a nurse at home always bugging him with nutritional input, and both of them usually take each other's place in cooking. For lunch, the man would simply roll out into the small community nearby and had the meal at a local restaurant. Your lifestyle is of your own choosing after all

[color=6ecff6]"Life of research can be a little isolating, so I want to balance that. But I needlessly, and quite regretfully, rejected my friend's offer to see the new movie in the cinema today, so I thought of going somewhere else."[/color] And it was Sol City Zoo. As bland it may seem, seeing animal life is actually not too bad. At least to a person who didn't have too much wildness in his social life because of the wheelchair binding him down. He had grown complacent with peaceful life. And he was definitely ok with it. The excitement of social experience could not be compared with the excitement of unlocking the chains of boundary in science.

But he was definitely not ok with this...

From the corner of his eyes, he could see this fellow with scruffy black hair, with a quite ragged attire, walking to him erratically. He must have been on an empty stomach for long. The first line to come out of his mouth was to address the three of them to be Xmen, to which Thomas was unsure to take that as a compliment, or an insult. He knew Xmen, and was pretty sure he was referring him as Professor X. While being referred to as a scientific genius is not so bad, but it was far from being a good joke. To Thomas right now, he was either insane, or hallucinating, or both. Nevertheless, the hunger looked genuine. 

Before anyone reacted, Alex handed Sarah a bottle of water before speeding off to get some food. Thomas wasn't sure what to do here, so he just sat back, took off the glasses and was just standing by for any help necessary. Hearing the growling out of his stomach was a little staggering, and, even though it wouldn't happen anytime soon, Thomas was quite relieved when Alex returned with the food bag.
