After she had told Kami she was fine, Sarria had remained silent up until the moment the waiter had come to take her order. Not a fan of mushroom foods, nor cheesecake, she decided to go with the Greek Salad option. When she finished ordering her food she went silent again, observing the others; smiling a bit when she noticed Ronin fall asleep. He was a cute little guy. Also, finding out that Zanna was on the cruise as well made Sarria very happy. She couldn't wait to see her again.

((Yea... Rora already swapped seats with someone anyway. xd ))
"You can play a flute? That's fantastic, I've never been able to do that." Aurora glanced up, grinning a little at Sim's way with a waiter. If she ever needed entertaining, all she had to do was watch the extravagant Simu for ten minutes and she had it.
She tried to not let out a loud 'awww!' when he fell asleep, wrapping an arm around the child's shoulders so he didn't fall. She couldn't blame him, they always seemed to take so long with the food at these places. Aurora tried to distract herself by watching the others and listening to the soft music played by the band nearby.
Finally, the first course arrived for all of them. Not everyone in the ballroom was getting their meals, some people were still arriving much to Rora's relief. So ... where ever the others were, they weren't too late. She nudged Ronin gently, and then went about trying to pretend she hadn't noticed he'd fallen asleep. "Doesn't the food look great, Sir Ronin?"
Secretly, Rora felt a bit sorry for the kid having to eat salad. She wasn't sure if kids liked that kind of thing or not. So, just in case, she leaned down to whisper, "But you don't have to eat it all. They always give more than people can eat."

As he felt a sudden nudge Ronin blinked slightly. What...? Fortunately he wasn't one of those people who get up very quickly. So he just got into a normal sitting position again, rubbing his eyes. As he saw the salad in front of him, he was confused.
Turning to Rora he nodded. "Yes, I can play a flute. I practise two hours a day at least. My father gave it to me for Christmas." Indeed it had been a present from both of his parents, but the boy pretended on getting it from Ray. "The food looks nice and a lot, you're right. You don't have to eat all of it, too." The young Simu took his fork and moved it closer to the green vegetable. "Princess Rora, this is the salad, where is the Greek ?"
He was just as awake as he had been before and he didn't show a sign of having been asleep at all. It wasn't even sure that Ronin had realized it.

"There's no Greek, they call it Greek salad because it was created by a Greek." Aurora replied, picking up her own fork. There was something she'd never understood about these salads- why ninety percent of it was fancy green lettuce. No wonder why they weren't expected to eat all of it, most of it was just for decoration.
She glanced sideways at Ronin's food, also noticing that because he was a kid... they'd given him less greens, plus a free soda.
Lucky kid.

"Oh, no it's perfectly alright, Fluff." Sim smiled sweetly at Kami's offer. "As much as I'm sure your pad is of a high quality, I still prefer to capture my inspirations in my own notebook. Besides, I have this horribly strong tendency to rip up the pages if I don't find the results to my satisfaction." he explained.
The first meal of the course arrived, Cream of Mushroom soup, a delicious treat for the red head. Perhaps his enjoyment of the dish was something he inherited from his mother? Although she definately dislikes vegetables, save for a select few.
"Mmmm, this smells divine." he cooed, allowing the aroma to waft up to him. "Shii, would you be a deary and pass me the salt?" Sim asked.

Ronin felt a bit embarrassed about the whole Greek thing and so he went silent, just eating the green stuff and sipping the free soda he had received. It least there was one good thing about being the youngest.
The salad tasted delicious and although it was very green he ate all of it. Kyoko had almost dig into his brain that it was healthy and so he had to eat it. He wondered if all kind of Sirs ate healthy food and so he glanced to Sim. Not able to glance at the content of the plate, Ronin smirked slightly. At least it was no salad.

Aurora smiled slightly, as she excused herself and stood up. This was the perfect moment, she thought to herself as she hurried out of the ballroom. She had wanted to do this so badly, and with a credit card in her purse, Rora was quite happy to do what she'd planned on doing...
She bought a pretty sundress from one of the on-ship stores, a nice little tropical number with little spaggetti straps that had to come no lower than mid thigh. It was giftwrapped then and there, nicely done too, in black packaging and a golden ribbon. Aurora smiled slightly at the person standing there, as she quite nicely asked, "And please deliver it this room..." as she pushed a little slip of paper with a room name and a person's name.
Then she hurried back to the table to sit down with the others again.

Ura had been pretty much silent majority of the time, most effort spent in not falling asleep at the table. It took him a moment to register 'food' and stared at his Greek Salad for a long moment. His head picked up, glancing at the others as they remained engrossed in conversations and now eating. It took another moment to register Sim addressing him. Oh yes, he was now known as Shii, wasn't he . . .
He gave a slight nod as he reached out for the glass salt shaker and placed it next to the other red head's bowl. And then smiled in more of a response before turning back to his food. "So, how is your food, Kami?" He questioned the pink haired girl, in mild attempts of resuming conversation ... and staying awake. It never occured to him that Aurora got up from the table, but he wasn't paying much attention to her anywho.

Sim graciously accepted the salt from the other Companion and began to generously sprinkle the salt onto his soup. He stirred it quite methodically, clockwise then counter clockwise and clockwise again before he took a small amount into his soup and took a sip.
"Hmmm... it seems to require a bit more salt..." Sim grinned and proceeded to sprinkle in more of the white stuff. He was oblivious to his surroundings, fully engrossed in the seasoning of his dish until he got just the right taste.

The sound of someone outside had jolted Elijah from his sleep.
Wait, sleep? .. On the floor?
Not yet raising his head from his folded hands, he gets a good view of the crack under the locked door. Shadows of a pair of feet are visible as the hallway lighting illuminates the space around them. Pushing himself off of the floor with almost no strength in his arms, he manages to stumble forward and, effectively, into the door itself.
With a slight thump as he hits the door, he presses his eye against the peekhole to get an eye full of Zanna.. wet.. in a bathing suit..
Hurriedly, with no more hesitation on his part, he swings open the door without a thought of how he'd explain himself..
---
Tobias had gotten himself dressed up for the occasion, though certainly not at his absolute best yet. Adjusting his reddish brown tie, he twists his right hand over to check his watch. ... Late?
He had sworn it was earlier than this! Grabbing his wallet, he rushes clear out the door and down the hallway.. only to catch sight of a slightly girl in a bathing suit .. and Elijah.
Immediately, all things come to an abrupt hault, right there and then in the hallway.

Zanna was actually surprised when the door swung open, her arm stopping in mid hair drying with her towel when she caught sight of Elijah, eyes going even wider before a grin slowly lept to her lips. "Room service is quite curious here... I left my key in my room..." She explained as she drapped her towel around her, letting it linger open for a while before actually closing it and tying it off.
There were footsteps behind her, going past and then stopping just off behind her, and instinctively her eyes went to the shadows being cast on the walls in front of her.
More wings.
'Guardian?' She mouthed silently as her smile started to disappear, eyes searching Elijah's, trying to memorize them in case he was yanked back into custody once again. In fact, she damn tried to memorize his entire face before actually speaking, "Tobias I'm guessing?" The teen turned around and held out a hand, chin and body also held high with her strength, "Pleasure. I'm Zanna."

Tobias looks from both Elijah to Zanna, his expression hardening into a solid emotionless stare.
"Zanna, hello. Very nice to meet you," he forces as his reply, a smile returning to his face briefly as he offers a hand to shake. "I'm Tobias, Elijah's guardian."
As he mentions Elijah, he nudges his head in his direction, as if Zanna didn't know who he is. Turning now to face him completely, Tobias speaks directly to Elijah with a fading smile.
"We'll talk later."
With a look back at Zanna, he takes a step back. "You two'd better hurry downstairs, or you'll miss out on the fun." With a silence of two seconds of another hard stare, Tobias continues down the hall and disappears from sight.
Elijah swallows quickly, finding himself fearful of Tobias for the first time in quite a while.

The teen had never been more thankful to have X has her guardian than now, shaking the offered hand quite firmly, her muscles flexing and rippling as a sign of just how tight her grip had been. She didn't feel the need to explain anything to him, instead just nodding to his 'introduction', watching his movements like a hawk until he disappeared.
As soon as he was gone, the Simu turned and practically heaved herself into Elijah's arms, hugging him tightly despite how wet she still was. After a while, she pulled back and raised an eyebrow, "I mean really... Room service must really like me..."
Her hands found his as she moved inside with him, shutting the door and locking it, just in case there was a return of the guardian. "Missed you... Though... I doubt now would be the time for a proper welcoming, Tobes'll be suspicious if we arrive too late to dinner..." Zanna murred softly as she leaned in to steal a kiss from Elijah, not being able to really help herself too much.

Despite his clothes becoming slightly damp, Elijah allows himself to be pulled into the kiss willingly. He breaks away rather quickly, as Tobias has left quite an unnerving imprint on him.
"Yeah," he agrees shortly, "He will. I'll see you downstairs, alright?"
He brushes out of the doorway and turns quickly into his own room, having not locked it the last time he'd left - he only planned for a short walk, and hadn't even unpacked very much.
Trying not to think very much about what just happened, a stabbing regret remains conscious with him as he changes for the occasion.
---
Tobias slides in almost unnoticed, having had great experience as a young Skull Monkey at sneaking and stalking prey. Approaching the table from the left, he gives a smile across those already seated.
"Guess I'm at the right place?" he says with a brief laugh, scanning the faces for someone familiar.

Aurora glanced backwards as another voice came over. She grinned, and stood up. "Tobias! You are..."
She stepped over to give him a friendly hug, leaning up to whisper, "Elijah's missing still, sorry. Did you run into him on the way down?"
And then Rora sat back down, guesturing to the seat with his placecard on it.
