Hizami kept looking around, up until the point that her ears caught onto someone saying something. It was really low. So low, the Faunus didn’t expect Eira to even notice, but she did. The fox turned around in her seat, only to look at the mouse. Her eyes went wide, and she grinned,
“ They placed a cute little prey in my team?”
Hizami noticed Momo had been tugging on her skirt, so she grabbed the other’s hand, and pulled her closer, patting a chair next to her,
“ Come sit come sit. All that cheese will get to your head soon.” She snickered, pushing the chair out in the same manner she had done for Eira. Hizami leaned over, and pulled a small bit of cheese off a strand of hair, and brushed some off her cheek.
Watching from her corner Ulysses observed what all went on. It was busy to say the least. So many people coming in and with them all being told to stay in. The night would not be an easy one. As a girl with broken English shouted a person Ulysses got up. Walking over she lifted the little girl up by her collar. "Hey little mouse... I understand being feisty, love the attitude, but we need to play nice." Looking down to Owl Faunus she nodded. "Do you need help at all?" Placing Feng down with a small chuckle. "Calm down little spitfire, give a helping hand. Stuck here for the night is no fun for anyone."
Life, is like the ocean. It can be rigid, or it can be still... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dani had thought the tiny girl's tirade was over. She thought she would be safe to sit her quietly, possibly watch Jentel play his solitary card game. Sure, maybe not the most exciting thing to do, but she was content with the idea. With the school sleeping in the cafeteria for the night, the room was growing increasingly more crowded. It wasn't doing much to calm her nerves and with Feng still standing over her, she was a nervous wreck. Everytime the door opened and shut she flinched internally, though her eyes never left the spot on the table she'd begun staring intently at. Partly for fear of catching her new captain's attention once more, and partly for the fear of realizing jus and how many people were actually crammed into this space. It was going to be a rough night for Dani, to say the very least.
However, her safety had been quite false and as Feng reached out to flick her firmly between the eyes, all she could do was blink, violet eyes growing wide. It hadn't actually hurt, but it had shocked her enough to cause her to jump slightly in her seat. The color in her cheeks was quick to follow, slowly creeping up her neck and into her cheeks. There wasn't time to recover and she didn't get the opportunity to hide behind her hair like she normally would as the next moment Fend had pressed her delicate palm against her forehead, forcing her gaze upwards. It was the equivalent to being manhandled by a child. With growing embarrassment and the intensity of the girl's gaze baring down on her, she flushed further. She felt hot and longed for nothing more than to be outside in the cool breeze, away from the masses of the cafeteria and more so, away from her captain and the ferocious little mouse she was. Seeing as she didn't have the guts to get up and walk away, and the fact that she was too polite to do so anyway, she was forced to blink up at Feng and await whatever other horrors she had in store.
Her words hurt, stung her to her very core. Not so much because she though she was being unfairly judged, but rather because they were thoughts that plagued her own mind. If she had been stronger, could she had saved her parents that night. If she had been braver, would she have been able to help her brother more? If she had been more fierce, would her parents still be alive? Could she have be a huntress? Did she have the ability? They were questions she asked herself every day. It was one thing to fear that you were too weak to ever succeed, it was another thing to have someone confirm that for you. Her heart dropped, and not out of fear this time, but out of sorrow. She did her best to keep it off her face but she'd never been good at keeping a blank expression. She was an open book, nearly anyone could see right through her. She wanted nothing more than to drop her head in shame once more, but even if she could have torn her gaze away from Feng's she wasn't sure the minuscule girl would have let her, consider her hand was still clasped firmly against her forehead.
When Dani was finally released from her hold, she was momentarily relieved, only for that feeling to be shattered when she felt a finger stab her sternum rather fiercely. Once again she gave a start, and she was relieved for the gloves cover her palms, knowing that the venomous cells that lived there were active now, ready to sting and maim. Despite the gloves, she kept her hands clasped tightly in her lap, just in case. In her distraction, Dani had almost missed Feng's final words. However, they settled her more than anything else she had said. They weren't gentle and they were all uttered beneath the scrutiny of her yellow eyes, but they reassured her slightly. However, that didnt stop her from quickly sliding across the bench and out of Feng's reachwhen Ulysses picked her up by her collar. Watching discreetly through her lashes, she made sure she was actually out of the line of fire before letting out a long breath.
Now that she was able to breath once more, she focused her attention back to Jentel who was currently trying to rescue his cards from Feng's tiny feet. Reaching out she collected the ones nearest here and arranged them into a neat little pile before sliding them across the table towards him. "Here." She murmured, offering him a somewhat timid smile before tucking her hands back into her lap. She hadn't expected him, or anyone else for that matter, to come to her rescue. She just hoped he didnt think any less of her for her inability to defend herself. Despite the timidness, it was hard to defend against something she knew in her heart to be true. Letting out a soft sigh she pushed the thought away and instead made a mental not to thank Ulysses later. Hopefully when Feng wasn't around.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ But, in the end, it is always beautiful.
One would think being tiny and lifted up like a child would humble someone Feng's size, apparently the exact opposite was true. The little huntress snarled and spat, swinging furiously with her fists and kicking , hoping to land a hit but was unable thanks to the accursed shortness of her limbs.
Once she was let down Feng immediately walked over to the large case she'd dragged along with her and popped the top open. Inside was a large metal instrument , an enormous standing bass taller than Feng herself and decked out with various attachments , dials and cables. She did not go for this however, instead she pulled out a bow, the tool used for playing a cello or violin, and stormed over to Ulysses and struck her hard on the back of the leg with the tool. Naturally this was no typical bow, it was designed to be used like a police baton when not playing, and was surprisingly solid for something of its size and design. "Pig!" she shouted before raising her arm to strike Ulysses again only to be suddenly lifted up once again, this time by the arm high into the air until she was at eye level with the enormous rhino faunus, Tessa. "Enough" her voice was gentle but hid an underlying anger that one typically heard, no , felt, when their parents were angered. Feng however swung at Tessa with her free hand only to freeze as the rhino bared her teeth and growled, actually growled like an angry dog, a noise that caused the tiny huntress to freeze and begin trembling.

The small girl would be shaking rather nervously after she had spoken up. It wasn't drastic or anything but it was noticeable for people close enough to her. Her eyes were drawn to Eria who she locked eyes with for a second. Before anything else could happen, the white haired girl blurted out how cute she was. The young faunus took a moment to process the comment, before her face started to fluster up. "...Cu..Eh Cute!" Exclaimed Momo as she jumped back in surprise. Red cheeks became apparent on the small girl as the compliment seemed rather embarrassing to hear. Not that she didn't enjoy to hear it, just wasn't sure how to react to being called cute. After just a moment the mouse would settle down a bit as Hizami would speak up about joining them. Looking up to the fox she was clearly hesitant at first. Though it didn't help when the captain leaned in close to her. Reactionary impulses kicked in and she backed up to avoid as much contact as she could. The little mouse was not a fan of such an invasion of personal space. Yet she was too tensed up to really avoid her reach anyways. Her eyes followed her hand as it seemed to pull a small string of cheese from her own hair. How...was that...in her hair the whole time?!...Momo would ponder for just a second before having some more brushed off her cheek. "Eep..." She would squeak out surprise as Hizami pulled away. Her little body was just so nervous being out here and having these interactions with her team...she was barely even managing. Yet after a little bit to breathing she attempted to calm down and take a seat in the offered chair. She would shrink up a bit to try to avoid the sight of any more prying eyes. Cause the girl was already red like a cherry just from what had just happened.
Watching Momo stand there and tremble under the pressure of her own nerves was a scene so adorable that it could be considered a hazard. One that could cause Eira to space out into her own little world of fantasies. The exertion of willpower at least saw to it that such a thing didn't happen. So Eira was still mentally present when Momo got flustered and made her exclamation. While Momo was jumping back Eira's left hand shot up to her mouth and covered it up just like a small child might do after saying a bad word. 'Oops. I said that out loud... It's fine I suppose. It's not like I was was thinking anything bad. Plus that reaction was just precious!' Eira let her hand move down to chest level as she watched the slightly recovered Momo fall apart for a whole different reason.
"Pretty sure cheese doesn't work that way, Hizami." She commented in response to the comment the team leader made just before she started grooming the small mouse girl. Eira hadn't noticed the crumb sized bits of cheese that were clinging to Momo so she was mostly thinking along the lines that Hizami was saying that if Momo stayed by herself all the time eating cheese she would turn into cheese. Or something along those lines. Though after Hizami had picked the bigger piece out of Momo's hair Eira finally noticed it. 'Wow... She saw those. A faunus's visual acuity really is something impressive.'
After all of that Momo's usually fair skin had taken on a shade of red that resembled the skin of a cherry or some apples. The chair Hizami had offered her was between the two of us. Even despite the fact that her small figure being positioned between the two bigger girls would remove her from most passing gazes Momo still curled up on her chair. To Eira it looked like Momo was trying to disappear. "You can calm down Momo. You don't need to be so nervous around us. We're on a team now so we got your back!" Eira set her scroll down onto the table so that her dominate right hand would be free to extend toward the mouse girl. Eira held it out as part of her greeting. "My name is Eira Winters. Let's be friends Momo."

She turned to Eira, and pressed her finger to her lips to hush her teammate,
“ Sssshhh….it happens to me.”
She explained, whilst nodding. In truth, cheese made this girl high. It depended on what type of cheese. Blue Cheese was the worst, mainly because it would make her act on emotions and deep desires. American cheese made her laugh for no reason, and ricotta just…it just makes her act like a really stoned person. Perhaps, as you could say, cheese was her sedative for pain or when she was down. Like alcohol.
“ The pasta was all herbs and sauces, no cheese.”
She explained further, just to clear out her situation. Hizami was busy placing her plates into a bin near the wall off the cafe, sitting back down to see Eira comforting Momo, who was a complete cherry missing its green stem. Interlocking her fingers to make a little platform, Hizami put her elbows on the table and rested her chin on the back of her hands, smiling softly as Eira greeted the new buddy.
“ Hizami Yachiru. Happy to meet you.”

Momo Illoto Demolition of YCEI, aka...Squeeks...aka Boom Mouse...x
It took a little bit of time for Momo to have confidence to look up to Eira. The girl seemed to be kind enough. Closing her eyes, the little mouse took in a deep breath. With that the redness of her cheeks faded away to a lite pink blush. Clearly the small girl was still uncomfortable with the situation. She couldn't exactly help it as it appeared to be in her nature. Looking up in response to the offer of friendship, she would look up at her. Her big eyes stared at the smiling face and then down to her hand. Hesitantly she brought her hand up to Eira's giving it a weak grip to shake. She nodded with a little squeak in acknowledgement of this new friendship, even if it was still frightening to her.
It was then that another hand was offered to her by Hizami. Something about her captain was a bit different though compared to Eira. It was like an instinct or something that kicked in. Momo was a faunus much like her so they related on that level. Yet...those eyes...they told her to be afraid. Like prey looking into the face of their predator. Still she had to do this...she had to get passed this. With a gulp in her throat she raised a hand and to Hizami's. "Mo-Momo...Illoto." She spoke with a shaking voice. Of course this wasn't her real name...but it was one that she liked and she had to get used to. After all she picked it out herself and it was a cute one. "D-don't eat me please..." Was something that she managed to follow up with considering it was one of the first thoughts in her mind.
__They rate me at (1) Level 0. ______My aura is.. inactive, and my semblance is.. down. ______I fight with team░░░░. ________My status is.. hungry ___I am at.. Beacon Cafeteria_______Currently I'm in the company of.. noone
___ Nox pushed on one of the doors leading into the cafeteria. The door squeaked every so slightly as it slowly swung open. The scent of food wafted through the crack that she poked her head through the gap. A smile covered her face as she inhaled deeply. The scent of cooking and already cooked up meat moistening her mouth. She didn't outright drool but her stomach turned and a soft grumble preceded her into the cafeteria.
___ A moment later she was over at the serving line. One tray, one plate, some table ware, and a sizable pile of meat later she set her meal down at one of the tables. Then she went off to get a drink. The decision was lemonade or tea, both cold. She looked around until she found some do it yourself supplies. A heavy glass cup filled with some hot water taken from one of the preparation pots set out on the coffee machine. A bit of tea leaves and a cube of sugar finished that off. She returned to her plate and sat down. She held the cup of hot tea for a minute like she had been out in the cold and wanted to warm her hands. Enjoying the green tea scent before she finally drank a bit. The heat in her stomach was nice but not nearly filling enough so she set the cup down and started cutting off pieces from the meat pile that she could pop into her mouth.
Arriving fashionably late for the school day to begin, Yenna opened the door to the cafeteria along with a trickle of a few other students. She was all dressed up in her usual garb consisting of a combat dress, boots, and her kick a** bunny ears twitching at the sound of doors shutting behind her. Somebody was cooking lunch and boy was it smelling of heaven. She came walking in proudly as somebody passed by that was twice her size. Curse her metabolism! When would she hurry up and grow big?! Being small like this was awful! She sulked for a moment before taking her place at the cafeteria line.
Yenna caught a plate of meat slapped down and looked at her with that charming smile of hers. "Might a growing soldier like me have two?" The students behind her grumbled and complained as she was holding up the line. She stuck her tongue out at them and continued to wait until eventually a second portion was plopped onto her plate. She bowed her head and scooted down to collect her precious lemonade Two cups worth would be enough until then spinning on foot and finding a seat. A feast like this would require the company of another!
"Well met!" A tray was put on the table that Nox was one as the childish Crusader sat down. A bit of lemonade spilled onto the table underneath her but Yenna set her cups next to her and began to eat heartily. It might have been were to see a child across from her. At least, that was the reaction that she had always gotten. "Wonderful day for a meal!"
All it took was the kitchen having cake to turn his mood around. He didn't just take a piece, he had requested an entire round. With a dominant cake next to a small, sensible salad, a roll and an apple, Gazzo made his way to the sitting area. HIs team was busy doing things elsewhere and he wasn't about to put off eating just to have someone familiar to sit with. He was quite comfortable coming familiar with strangers. Especially if a meal was involved.
Finding a table near a table with two cute girls about to dig into their meaty lunches. He wasn't sure which was more distracting, how cute they were or the large mounds of meat. While he thought it over a moment, he got distracted by his cake and took a few bites in thought... Life without cake would be chaos. It would be a sin not to share it. He decided, nodding to himself in personal agreement. Swiveling around in his chair, he smiled to the girls. "Would either of you be interested in having a slice of cake?"

__They rate me at (2) Level 0. ______My aura is.. inactive, and my semblance is.. down. ______I fight with team░░░░. ________My status is.. hungry ___I am at.. Beacon Cafeteria_______Currently I'm in the company of.. A small girl and a guy
___ Nox hungrily put away her food. She stopped occasionally only to take a sip of the hot tea she had beside the plate. She could eat fast but even in doing so she was completely well mannered in her eating. Thanks to it she shouldn't seem a total glutton by the time the other students started to show up for their meals. A good half of the heaping pile of meat she had gotten for herself was gone even before someone else had arrived at her table and set down their own meal. This person spoke to her as she took her seat and started to eat her own food. Her actions were a miss for gracefulness as the new arrival managed to spill the contents of the two glasses she had for her drinks. Given that the table was devoid of any other occupants the girl must have been talking to Nox. So Nox put her next bite of meat into her mouth and savored the juicy flavor as she nibbled it away. She left the fork in as she tilted her head over to fix her eyes onto this new girl. In doing so the pupils nested in those crimson pools shrank for a slit second. Both narrowing to a sharp slit that ran vertically across the red irises then they returned to a more human like round as if it had never happened. “A child?” She murmured to herself around the fork still in her mouth which oddly enough gave her a weirdly pensive kind of appearance. “No, the school has an age requirement.” This one must just be small. She noted the bunny ears on the girl's head. Perhaps that was why.
___ She pulled the fork from her mouth and brought it around to point the four prongs of the fork at the meat on the little one's plate. “Everyday is a good day for meat.” Her comment now finally no longer a self discussion. Her fork then returned to her own meat as she cut up another section into pieces she could fit into her mouth. Once the cutting work was finished she went back to popping bit after bit into her mouth. She seemed truly blissful while she was enjoying the flavor of a nice steak. She only stopped eating when another student interrupted. This time it was a male student and he wasn't even at their table. Instead he was turned around in his seat and leaning over toward their table so he could talk with them without actually switching tables. Nox's eyes narrowed again but this time it was the whole eye and not just the pupils. She was clearly scrutinizing the guy and then this cake of his he mentioned. She couldn't help but wonder how he got a whole cake to himself, but then again she probably shouldn't question the generosity of the kitchen given how much of her beloved meat they always let her have. Still though, she wondered if he was just using the cake to try and hit on them. Either way he was offering them some and it did look good. No reason to refuse it really. Nox wasn't sweating the calories with her metabolism. “Sure I suppose I will take one.”
The woman's lack of a reaction worried her for a moment. Her greetings had been paid in full with the woman's own strange look towards her as well as some mutterings underneath her breath she could understand. Yenna continued standing there in a rather awkward fashion before just sitting down across from down and biting down on her helpings as well. Though her size was small, that wasn't to say that her stomach was. She scarfed down her meat patties with an amazing amount of speed and ferocity. Skipping a meal was always sure to make her ravenous to sink her teeth into some juicy food. AT the rate she was chewing food it was hard to believe that the child looking student had anything but a hefty metabolism to prevent this from going to her thighs. Of course, with her current stature its not like that would be a bad thing. Most other students weren't midgets.
"Ah, a bountiful feast with good company!" Yenna said while then starting on her second burger. Or that's would have happened had it not been for their new arrival. A blonde haired boy with bright green eyes and a dapper looking hat. Yenna gave him a few waves of her hand and boisterously exclaimed "Greetings, fellow student! Cake would be much appreciated!" She graciously accepted the slice of cake offered to her and then proceeded to scarf that down in even lesss time. Probably because it was a sweet, which she adored. The miniature crusader would wiped her mouth when done and lean forward to smile at him. "The cake was sweet, but thy's coming was the greatest treat a crusader could ask for! What is thy name, companion? I am Yennefer, a Crusader-in-Training!"
It felt as if the dark-haired girl could see right through him to his bones as she studied him with her round, amethyst eyes. Despite his usual happy manner, this intense and silent scrutiny made him a little uncomfortable and feared the worst-- that she would refuse his cake and make the otherwise joyful spontaneous sharing of cake... well... awkward. To his relief, she accepted and his smile became more genuine. Though it was more from relief than generosity. Turning back to his cake, he cut a large slice for her. Perhaps it was judgmental of him, but from her large platter of meat, she seemed like the kind of girl who wasn't afraid to eat. Gazzo very carefully turned with the slice and walked over, sliding it down into an empty space on her tray.
The big warm welcome from the petite, snowy-haired contrasted her small size. Put more at ease by her greeting, his smile spread across his face. "Happy to share. Cake, I feel, is a dessert that was made for sharing." He gave the second slice of cake to her and was glad to see her gobble it merrily. It was always nice to meet someone who appreciated sweets like he did. Also-- it was nice to see another rabbit Faunus at the academy.
His father's words came to mind as she spoke to him...
"You find yourself one of our own kind to bring home to us, will you? We can tolerate your strange nature, but we won't have you be so unnatural."
Gazzo didn't want to continue to be a disappointment, but he also didn't feel that he had to socialize with her just because she herself was a rabbit Faunus. Either way, she seemed quite nice.
"My name is Mayer, but you can call me Gazzo if you wish." He took off his hat and gave a formal bow. His ears, now visible. Placing his hat on the table, he brought his cake over and joined them. "I had an alternative motive to sharing my cake with the two of you today." He admitted, looking between them both. "I am very chatty and I hate eating in silence. Frankly, I find silent eating creepy... I hope neither of you mind me imposing my company."
__They rate me at (3) Level 0. ______My aura is.. inactive, and my semblance is.. down. ______I fight with team░░░░. ________My status is.. hungry ___I am at.. Beacon Cafeteria_______Currently I'm in the company of.. Yennefer and Mayer
___ The girl that had joined her gave an introduction to the guy as she accepted a slice of cake. This one was very energetic. Nox wondered if that was part of her faunus traits. She had never met one that was a rabbit before so she had nothing to compare the girl with. Then again it could just be a matter of personality. She chewed on a piece of particularly chewy meat while she mulled it over and watched the boy slice the cake into portions. He was cutting it into generous slices. After which he moved his stuff over to the girl's table and then handed over the plate with cake on it. Yennefer immediately began to scarf it down. Nox on the other hand tapped the prongs on her fork against her lower lip as her eyes danced back and forth between the two options before her. Cake or meat. Cake or meat. Meat or cake. Her eyes left the two options when the guy introduced himself. They gave him a long knowing look at the words of having an alternative motive for offering to share his cake. Her suspicions that he was just getting a foot in the door to hit on them rekindled by the words. Though his actual intent was far from that mark. According to him at least.
___ Her gaze returned to her tray while he was sitting down and getting comfortable at the table. Nox cut off a piece of the cake and ate it. As soon as she did she started to hum softly and sway side to side again. The sugary sweet taste offering a good counter to the flavor of the meat she had been eating just before. She ate a couple more bites and then looked over to the guy who called himself Mayer and asked to be called Gazzo. "I don't really mind I suppose. Also my name is Nox." She said so that she wouldn't be the only one to not introduce herself. After which she polished off the cake and then returned to what was left of her meat. Cutting up the last of it into bite sized pieces and one by one eating them. Once her plate was clear she picked up the heave cup full of hot tea and started to sip on it. She expected the other two to lead any conversation. Nox herself is not shy, but she wasn't ever called very chatty when she first meets people.
