Where people eat

Roma kept her hood up with her tray in her hands. She kept her head down and walked quickly.

Damien sat in the corner, staring blankly at his tray, refusing to eat once again.

Roma tried walking out of the cafeteria with her tray but they wouldn't let her so she huffed and sat a few places down from Damien and scratched her wrist fiercely.

He glanced over to her, furrowing his brows, and quickly looked away.

Roma reached into her pocket as she ate and pulled out a few papers and a charcoal pencil.

Again, he glanced to her, and finally moved closer. "...hey...want my lunch?"

Roma looked over at him and her cheeks flushed. She nodded silently. She got up and ran around the table for she was sitting across the table from him. She grabbed her tray and papers and moved them over by her then reached tentatively for his tray, looking up at him for secondary permission.

He pushed it into her hand, smiling gently. "Thanks. They won't let me leave if I don't 'eat' it"

She nodded and moved his food on to her tray. She ate with one hand and started to draw with other hand looking up at him occasionally.

He watched her for a moment, before falling silent and looking out the window, sighing softly.

Roma put her pencil down and pushed the paper over to him. She looked away and ate the sandwich he'd given her.

He blinked, slowly taking it from her. "For me?"

She nodded. It was a detail charcoal sketck of him looking out the window. She kept her eyes down and continued eating.

He smiled. "This is beautiful. Thank you."

She blushed heavily and nodded, embarrassed. She finishedthe food and stood up she nodded over to the exit of the cafeteria.

He stood as well, not entirely sure what she meant, but moved to follow her anyway.

Roma got up and walked out of the cafeteria.

((she's taking him to her room to show him her other drawings. In room 3))

He followed her.
