Before she could place her attention towards her bowl of food, Elise found her attention being pulled towards the young woman that had called out to her.

"Ah?" she responded almost instinctively towards her name before turning towards the source—Pyralis, as it were—and nodded with a smile. "By all means, feel free."

The subsequent arrival of the more muscle-bound Louisa was greeted with equal cordiality, and the slight smirk soon turned to a wry smile at the newest arrival's words.

"It's just past noon here," the white-haired girl spoke, motioning towards the window ever so slightly with her head, "but I suppose some people might still consider this morning, no?"

Deciding to not take any further jabs at the other woman's expense, Elise turned her attention towards her food once again...

Only for a certain brunette to burst onto the scene, chipper as ever. The few months she had spent with the girl already had allowed Elise to grow used to her boundless enthusiasm, but the way she seemed to consume food as if it was water was still a bit...

Was 'comical' the right word? Or 'terrifying'? She still couldn't tell which.

"...Right. She certainly comes and goes like a storm," she said, finally pulling her attention away from Hoshiko as she ran off to bother Norika in order to take a few bites of her noodles before they grew soggy.

There were a few moments of silence as everyone present took the time to eat, but after taking the time to savor what was in front of her, Elise took another deep breath and glanced back towards the other Pilots sitting with her.

"I don't think we'll need as much energy as she does for the day, but I guess we'll see soon enough," she said, placing her chopsticks off to the side for a moment. "I heard that we'd be getting split into smaller teams to help the advance force earlier, but they said that they were still in the middle of finalizing who's handling what."

With another sidelong glance towards the other pair off to the side, Elise leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms in front of herself before turning back towards the others.

"You'd think they'd have told us in advance to prepare better or something, though..."
