[Bland is fine. Having lived on the streets for so long, fine-dining was something she was neither used to nor expected. She especially wouldn't anticipate a ragtag group of children to be armed with refined culinary knowledge beyond what was necessary to survive.
[And they've had to survive in such cruel circumstances, haven't they?]
I'm f... fine. This is just... too much.
[She slides the bowl over to Dimitri completely. With a small pat over the head of the jinba girl sitting beside her, Jade scrambles up to her hooves again. Her long, wobbly legs carry her away from the gathering to find someplace dark and quiet, to just bury her face in her hands for a while. Putting on a mask for these kids, especially in light of what happened in her own world, has a way of making her feel as though she's drowning all over again.]
