"Want us to make a fancy case for you, too?"

"Maaaaaaybe."

"Oh, are we just doing this now? Not even pretending any more?"

Giggle! "I think the ship has sailed on avoiding New York's attention."

"Especially after last night."

"Fair enough. Two new acquisitions to take care of, then."

"We're going to be busy spoiling them both..."

"Good thing there's two of us."

"True. It lets us distribute the load a bit better..."

"Keep things properly balanced."

"And make sure we can be thorough enough."

"Very important." Kiss!

Kiss!!!

And kiss for Daniella?

Yes please!

Multiple kisses! 

Wonderful.

Yeah.

They should get ready for breakfast soon, though.

Tragically...

Tragic? But they can sit together!

Giggle kiss! "Though we'll need to make it clear that you're joining us, not the other way around."

"I think I can swing that."

"Good."

"Let's collect Shinta for breakfast, then..."

(Given they normally eat surrounded by underclassmen, Luthien and El - and therefore Shinta - are in the habit of arriving relatively late to breakfast. El gets to sleep in a little, and the underclassmen make up for the missed food in the junior line with the admission tax just fine.)

Daniella splits off from them and goes through the line after, so she can very clearly be asking to sit at their table once El and Lu are seated.

Or, well, that's their plan. It might be a little derailed by how when they enter the cafeteria a pall of silence falls in a ripple over the room, followed by a storm of whispers and then a jagged clamoring of people trying to wave them over - or else subtly close ranks and block off visible open seats.

...Figures. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all.

Let's go for the good old standby of ignoring everyone else and concentrate on getting a plate of food without any mals in it.
