Tokala crept into the cafeteria, nose in the air, sniffing. This was his first day at Starlight Academy, his first day at any school, and he didn't know what a 'Cafeteria' was. All he knew was that he could smell food inside, and he was HUNGRY.

The boy was wearing black pants, tight at the hip, but loose around his bare feet. His top was black as well, and, to most, would be considered very feminine with the lace around the hems. However, the boy didn't realize such, considering he'd lived in a world without gender constrants his entire life.

The boy looked around, wide eyed, well, one was wide, the other covered by a patch. Tokala wasn't surprised when he felt his tail fluff up in fright and surprise. He'd never seen a bigger room in his entire life...

Tokala scrambled backwards so fast that he toppled over. Shaking black strands of hair out of his eyes, the feline looked up at the boy with a single, very green, and very wide, eye. He cringed slightly when the other spoke, ears flat against his head.

'NOW you've done it, Tokala! You've made them angry, they're running you out of here!' Thought the boy, silently chiding himself for thinking of entering the large, crouded building during the light-time hours.

Tokala pulled himself into a crouching possition, where he could easily run if need be. But... the boy was talking to him. And his voice wasn't hostile. Confused, he cocked his head to the side, imitating the other. "Is not Terry-fied, is Tokala." He said, voice soft.

"Is not eating anything. Is hungry." Announced the feline, looking wistfully at the ravioli Niyaz held.

Tokala blinked once, then, without a second thought, snatched the bowl with inhuman speed. He left the fork, not knowing what it was, and sniffed the ravioli, face lighting up with a grin. Then he buried his face in the ravioli, a loud purring noise rumbling deep in his throat.

The feline spared a moment during eating to look up, grinning at Niyaz. "Good!"

Tokala, having polished off the ravioli in record time, cocked his head in confusion. "Niyaz Bytheway? Is Tokala..." Said the feline, pointing to himself.
