Eat the kitchen empty

The change of environment as they approached the cafeteria caused Savannah to squint her eyes every now and then, the rise in volume made her ears flop down in a feeble attempt to block out any more oncoming sound waves. It was like William said, lunch time. There's no helping the crowd of student that come to fill their stomachs to continue on the day.

She looked to her newly met person from earlier, giving him a grin and a light curtsy. "Quite the gentleman I see." She laughed. Just as she was about to take her step into the cafeteria, Spirit, William's wolf companion had already dashed ahead. The fox girl was hardly annoyed, more over she lightly shook it off with a gentle sigh.

Her eyes rolled to William. "Hungry as I will be." She commented. The feet of the fox took some light steps into the large room. What she first saw was the masses of large rowed tables cluttered with student sitting at them and on top of them. Some were showing off their abilities with their hands at the table, all of course acting is if it was part of their daily life. Savannah was intrigued by it.

"How does one acquire the substance we call food and the other we call drink?" She asked throwing her head back at William as if he knew the answer to every question she'll give him. It was only for today, and maybe the next week or so till she got used to the ways of the school.

Savannah laughed with William, "Perhaps he brings out the best qualities in you?" She voiced rolling her eyes up in thought. Then her head turned to the side and glanced towards William mischievously. For some reason or another her mouth trembled as a hummed giggle came out. It was all without ill intent, she was just relished the moment.

Her head shot towards Spirit as William said, where one knows where food is, follow them. "A line we shall form." She happily spoke out loud. Normally one would just walk up and stand in line, but Savannah had other ideas. Her feet seemed to skip and dance their way over to where Spirit was, her whole self swayed left and right as she went. All with a smile on her face.

Things were looking great, that was until Savannah failed to catch sight of someone walking across her peripheral vision. At the last moment she tried to stop herself but ending up throwing her arms in front of her. There was a thump followed by a clash of cutlery, smashed bowels and a clatter of a tray on the floor. Nothing everything hit the floor, Savannah managed to catch a potato in her hands. By now several other students threw their attention towards the scene.

Savannah bit her lip furiously, her hands were shaking slightly. She had made herself jump from the accident, her ears were drooped to further add to the expression. "I, saved this for you." She said weakly in her shameful state.

The person she collided into was a male student, he didn't say anything but stare at the fox girl. His hand rose, then morphed into a spike of sorts. It then jabbed into the potato which Savannah quickly let go of. A gruff came from the student as he barged his way past her. She cast her head down and watch as he walked past several tables jabbing our pieces of people's lunch as he walked by.

The suspense was now beginning to build up in Savannah, she shook her head and took a step forward, as she did she felt her feet slid underneath. All of a sudden her foot went up and her back starting to fall down. She had slipped over water that was on the floor from the mess. "Ah! Savannah cried out. Knowing there was nothing she could do now to stop her fall.

She thought she had hit the ground, but the floor shouldn't feel like this right? It wasn't exactly hard either. Her head gazed around to observe her surroundings. Spirit had caught her. A sigh came from Savannah. With some careful adjustment she picked herself off Spirit and stood straight once more.

Her eyes narrowed slight and darted between William and Spirit. her knees bent down to sit more at level with Spirit. "Oh, but it seems that you are my hero just then. That's one point for you." She spoke with a slur. Savannah's arm came out to hug the fur of Spirit, her face cheek came to rest on the wolf's back. A wide grin was let out, her tails rose and stretched themselves to encase both her and Spirit.

"I guess I owe you dinner." She teased. Just as she finished she let go and stood herself up, her grin faded and resumed her usual expression.

As if she were dirtied by the event Savannah brushed her dress with her hands quickly. "Lets start again, without any accidents this time." She suggested as her feet began to tap their way to the bit longer queue.

"What do they have to serve here?" She asked with curiosity, her head shooting back behind her to William.

"Ah. She mused crossing her arms. "I'll try to be more careful next time, but who knows maybe I'll trip down the stairs or something." She spoke as if oblivious. Then her head shook. "On accident of course, it's not I'd intentional put myself in harms way." Savannah playfully muttered.

The queue soon edged it's way forward, Savannah in turn slow stepped and swayed her way in line. The smell of food filled her nose with each step, she licked her lips out of habit. In a attempt to get a view she went up on tip toes, but the sea of heads ahead of her blocked her view of what was on display. A audible pout was heard. "I do pray for some lamb, perhaps salmon?"

It wasn't too much longer till they had arrived for their order. Savannah glanced at what was on display, sadly nothing she had mentioned. "Oh, well I guess a seafood salad would suffice." She figured. Her order was taken to be prepared shortly.

She silently threw a look towards William to see what he would order.

He was easy forgiving that boy she guessed. Though hopefully not all the time, she wouldn't want to abuse that attribute of him. Though his second comment hit a mark. Savannah feigned a hurt impression. "Are you implying I am a clutz?" She huffed, sticking her nose up at William. Oh this was too much fun for her, William was good company thus far.

Savannah brought her head down, now she wished she came a day early to the academy. Was he teasing her still? She eyed him suspiciously. A smile or laughter didn't follow, he might be genuine about it. "Tis a shame, but this is what it shall be." She commented.

As William ordered, her left ear twitched. Chicken? That just that word alone was quite a attentive word. Was there a more animal side to her from being a fox spirit? Who knows. Not a moment later her meal was delivered on a tray. Savannah took hold on it and backed away from the counter. Just as she turned to face towards the middle of the room she noticed something. "There aren't many places to sit, guess we were a little late. Woops." She said, assuming the blame for their delay.
