“Ha ha ha, I think that’s probably everything our stomachs can take in one sitting.” Not realizing that Crash was actually older than her, she reached up and gave his messy red hair a quick ruffle as indication for a job well-done. Grabbing a food tray herself, Kathy took some of the plates to lighten his load. “Let’s see… Where should we sit?”

The cafeteria was a lot more crowded than it usually was, probably due to timing of the morning assembly. They would undoubtedly have to share a table with a few other people. “Over there seems good.” Surprisingly, Kathy gestured to what was probably the most crowded table. The one surrounded by girls that seemed to have little interest in actually eating their food, and more than enough interest in the two boys with white hair and yellow eyes. She muttered to herself, “I need to figure out which one of them is Criston before I greet the wrong person later on…”

Keeping an eye on Crash and hoping that he didn’t surrender their meal to the floor or any other unfortunate passer-by, she made her way to the table and sat a seat away from the merry crowd.

Would I be able to tell them apart if they dressed the same?’[/i] Trying not to be rude by staring too long, she spread the food out as evenly as she could on the table for equal access between her and Crash.

Keeping just an ear open to see (or rather, hear) who was who among the near-twins, she turned her attention back to her red-haired companion and began with a light topic of conversation. “So since you didn't know where the cafeteria was, I’m guessing it’s your first day at the academy? Or maybe you forgot over the summer?”
