A little bit. Technically it's not me who performs the spell, I'm more like a passenger. [ he rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, a wry smile on his face. ] It's part of my job, which ain't the best, but at least that part is fun.
[ well, later in the day after the psa, crea will...try to set up something. really it's just him grabbing a bunch of canned drinks like sodas and energy drinks, and a bunch of junk food like chips and cookies.
maybe not enough to sate a demon, but it's a weak attempt at comforting the other cabin members.
crea himself is nearby the hammock, mindlessly rocking while eating a bag of chips. ]
[ Like Beel, Xiao will also be gone for a while, but he will return later in the evening. He steps into the room quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone who may be asleep. He has brought back some fruit to share with the others.
It makes him a little sad, seeing Crea without his usual spunk. Xiao turns to look at him from over his shoulder, not knowing what to say.
He just...turns and holds out an apple towards him instead. ]
actually, the gesture hits crea quite close to heart as he smiles sadly at xiao, taking the fruit. it's been a while since he's seen an apple tree... ]
[ He makes note of that sad smile, and chalks it up to stress from their current predicament. Xiao doesn't make it a point to interact with others so much, but in times like these, it may be for the best to try. ]
Yes. I didn't think anyone else would bring back food, that's all.
[ He feels a little bad for not taking anything Crea brought back, but that's just Xiao being picky about his food more than anything. ]
I imagined it would be hard for people to have an appetite after what occurred, but food is important nevertheless.
Yeah, I got stuff that was easier to carry. A bunch of bags and cans are way more simple to transport than plates of food, but it's true that we should still try to eat well even in this situation.
[ he looks at the apple in his hands, taking a light bite of it. ]
Thanks, by the way. It's been a while since I've eaten an apple as nice as this.
Lacus thinks they aren't here at all. But it wouldn't explain how they killed Merlin, if that was the case.
I can't think about it. I'll get angry. And then I'll just get too hungry again. [Frustratingly snapping a cookie in half in between his teeth.] Don't want that.
[Weirdly, Nona loves soda, so she's drank two whole cans of it and only chewed on the can a little bit. Her mood is a bit more melancholic. She didn't know Merlin at all so she can't bring herself to feel too sad about his death, but death is death and the effect it's had has rippled out.]
There's not much to be said for it. She's not wrong.
He shuffles up to a seat next to her with a carton of Crea's cookies in his hands and a takeaway bag in the other. His big long legs... give him a second to get comfortable, oof.]
