Thessaly looks down at herself in dismay, and realizes that her blazer is indeed, on inside out.

She sighs and shakes her head. "I'll fix it in a bathroom or something. Lets just get started for now."

With a quick look around to make sure everyone else looks ready, Thessaly opens the door for Jaid.
 

Jaid walks in smiling. "Are you guys all ready? I'm supposed to get you all fed and ready before you go back and talk with Zain. Is that alright with you?"
He motions down the hallway beside him.
 

"Breakfast?" Asuza mutters sleepily, her clothes tussled and wrinkled.

"You'll have to excuse her, she hasn't had her usual morning coffee," Haru explains with a smile on his face."

"Shaddup, you stupid bunny," Asuza says as she follows Jaid.
 

Taka walks quietly. She looks down as she steps, and travels in the straightest of lines. She avoids eye contact with the others. Not even her breath makes a sound.

She remains, as always, in sullen self-reflection. She can't wait for the action to start so that she'll be distracted from that dream she had. Nothing like combat to cleanse the mind.
 

Jaid leads you down the hall until there is an intersection of hallways. He then takes a right turn. Though the previous hall was empty, you pass by many people in this one. Though there are many humans, there are just as many that aren't species standard. Differeng sizes and skin colors, wings, claws, there seem to be an endless variety of almost human beings. Eventually you emerge into a larger room filled with tables, and Jaid leads you up to a line.
"When you get there, just tell them where you're from and what you want for food and drink. They should be able to provide something at least vaguely similar... but don't count on them being able to get everything right."
With that, he takes a place at the back of the line.
 


Thessaly laughs a little at Kei's quip. "This should be fun. I can finally try some spells I've been dying to try, but couldn't.

She darts ahead and gets in the food line, already paging through the dusty parchment of her spellbook, looking for whatever invocation she had spoken of.
 

Taka steps into position behind Jaid and the others and begins standing patiently in line, avoiding eye contact with anyone around.

She wonders just how long this would take. She would eat whatever was given to her. Why the wait for food to be specially prepared? Are people from other worlds really so concerned over something so trivial? Are there not important battles being fought somewhere? Is that not where she is meant to be?
 

You eventually get to the front of the line. It certainly reminds you of a cafeteria. There is one person in front of each line at a counter, and a space behind where you can see people moving around. Jaid reaches the front of the line, and tells the person at the counter what you can only assume were the names of his planet and meal.
Soon enough, someone in the back brings up a tray with a glass of red liquid and what looks like a pastry of some kind. Jaid thanks them, and moves out of the way to let Kei in.
