The dining hall smelled like burnt eggs.
Aegis sat at their usual table, picking at something that might have been porridge in a past life. Sophie sat pressed against her left side, Scarlett sprawled across from them, and Lune delicately eating actual food she'd somehow procured from somewhere else.
"This is so weird," Scarlett announced, poking her breakfast with a spoon. "I think it just moved."
"That's the protein," Sophie said, stealing a bite from Aegis's plate. "Probably."
"Why are you eating mine if yours is right there?"
"Yours tastes better."
"It's literally the same thing."
"No, it tastes like you."
"That doesn't even make sense."
Sophie kissed her cheek. Then her jaw. Then her neck.
"Sophie, we're in public."
"So?"
"So maybe save the foreplay for later?"
"This isn't foreplay. This is just how I eat breakfast now."
Scarlett made a gagging sound.
"You two are gonna make me lose my appetite."
"You were already complaining about the food."
