I'm so sick of the food here... Was always on Ai's mind whenever it was lunch time at school. Ever single piece of food was mostly meant for omnivores. Sure Ai herself was sister to both Omnivores and strict Carnivores, but trying to eat the food herself just made her feel sick. Even the salads in the school tended to have a weird taste in her mouth like it had piles of sugar on it, and that was without dressing. When she tried to eat the salad with what the other students used it just made it worse.

"I feel like I've been eating nothing but sugar cane every meal with this food." Ai muttered to herself as it was droned out by the rest of the school children around her. Though Ai herself was off in one of the corners eating by herself, though she had a couple of friends they didn't share the same lunch time with her which made her sad but also gave Ai time to be alone when she didn't go some where else to eat.

It was while she was prodding the 'salad' with her fork thinking of visiting Dai Niushi's Mini Minos House after school that she heard something... it sounded like someone was talking to her. Blinking Ai looked up to see a young girl, not to much younger then herself Ai supposed as she tried to remember what the girl had just said. "I'm sorry...what did you say?"

Shay's face scrunched in mild distaste. She didn't want to repeat herself. "Are you new around here? You seem new. Like you miss home, I guess a lot of students do... but usually, it's the new ones who sit alone and pick at their food looking all glum. Or, they're too excitable, trying to touch everything."

Granted, that was not what Shay had initially said. At first, she had told this girl that she was in Shay's spot, but she didn't want to repeat that now. That wasn't so much kindness on her part as it was a lack of energy to fight. Instead, Shay sat beside Ai.

As was always the case nowadays, Shay wore her Rosales crest pinned to her breast with complete and utter pride. There had been a time when she was nervous to be associated with criminally inclined Demons, but that had passed. They were her family, even if she wasn't always certain of their loyalty or their ability to love her. Mortality sucked. Boo-hoo. All that. Woe was her. teenage angst.

Looking over the girl Ai considered what she said and how she had previously been looking at her food. "Oh! oh, no. I've actually been here a few months now. I'm just getting a little tired of the lunch room food." She blushed a little being confronted for staring at her food.

Then the girl sat down next to her making Ai blush further. her shyness kicking in hard now. but her gaze then landed on the Rosales crest, her face drained of color. It wasn't the fact that it was of the quite infamous gang...but demons. A couple of different Yokai came to mind mainly. Ai wasn't so sure how she should be talking to someone who was around demons a lot. "Oh...ah...um....I...." She then looked down at her food and began poking it and looking occasionally out the corner of her eye at this other girl.

Shay caught Ai's eyes flicker between her crest and her face. She was used to the awkwardness or the awe, whichever came. Usually, it was both, sometimes simultaneously. But, Shay was proud of her family, or that's what she kept telling herself. She loved Klaus and Vito and all her siblings, but pride in what they do was still on the table. Pride may have been a strong word choice to use here.

Eroshay was a blunt girl, more often than not willing to cut to the core of a problem. It just made things easier. "It's the Rosales pin, isn't it? You're all nervous about it. Got questions, or something? If you don't want to sit by me, that's fine too, but I'm not moving."

"I...it....it's N....nno...not that, you're um....part...of the uh...gang..." Ai moved the food around her plate more before coming up with what she wanted to say...it took a bit. "I'm.... I'm terrified of....Yokai...d...demons."

Ai cringed a little trying to look smaller, even with her diminutive size it wasn't hard. "I....I'll... Be....fine um....sorry..." appologizing for her shyness was pretty much part foot the course now even though she had been here for a couple months now. Ai also swallowed a lump in her throat that was forming. She was a bit more scared then shy but the didn't mix well together only seeming to compound more then anything.

Shay paused, then sighed, the sound almost relieved. "That's common enough. I'm used to it, but for the record, I'm not a Demon. And Klaus and my family aren't Yokai, which is pretty different, really. No need to apologize. Most people who come to Manta Carlos have misconceptions. If it isn't one thing it's another, you know?"
