Eefa is going to wait until she can see someone else eating.

Just to be sure. 

Permalink

"Too hot?" Chioss asks her, starting to ladle oatmeal into the other bowls.

Permalink

Eefa stares at Chioss.

Permalink

"If you stir it up it'll cool off faster," she says. No other comment.

The other kids are starting to pad out of their rooms at this point.

Permalink

Eefa re-locates away from the kids, onto the floor a little bit away from the table, with the bowl in her lap.

 

Permalink

Mikko looks at her and almost asks why but decides to let her be.

The other kids top and eat their oatmeal.

Permalink

Eefa does not want to be too close to lots of other people if she doesn't have to be right now.

 

... Probably it's okay to eat these things? Do the children look okay?

(She stares at them intensely while they eat.)

Permalink

Not only do they look okay, the adults also take and eat oatmeal once all the kids are served and don't need things.

Permalink

In that case Eefa will scarf down the oatmeal! She has been waiting a while and it did smell really good and more it is all in her stomach. Or her mouth still. Or on her face.

Permalink

"Wow, once that cooled off enough you couldn't wait another second!" remarks Mikko, coming over to wipe off her mouth.

Permalink

He should not come up and touch her mouth all of a sudden! She is over hear now! Under the table.

Permalink

"Whoops! Didn't mean to spook you. You got some of your breakfast on your chin. Do you want to clean it up yourself?"

Permalink

Yes! She can use her fingers and mouth to do so. And get shirt to get the last bit of they are going to care that much.

Permalink

"And now we can get you into a fresh shirt and you'll be all set. Do you want to go pick it out on your own?"

Permalink

... 

"Why?"

Permalink

"- there's some oatmeal on that one and you should be wearing clean clothes. We can get this one washed but in the meantime there's plenty of clean shirts to wear."

Permalink

"... You have a lot of shirts."

She takes a bit to figure out if there's some trick with all the shirts.

Permalink

"Yup! It's so all the kiddos can have clean clothes to wear all the time."

Permalink

"Why?"

Permalink

"Just because the kids here aren't living with families right now doesn't mean you shouldn't have nice things like clean clothes and tasty oatmeal, so we make sure you all have those things."

Permalink

"But. Why?"

Those things don't seem at all important. Even if the food is nice and tasty.

Permalink

"It's our job to take care of kiddos who are between families, like you. Let's get you a fresh shirt." He's attempting to herd her to her room.

Permalink

Eefa is unaware what families she is between but will allow herself to be herded and will change into new clothes. Again.

Permalink

They're just going to keep doing it every time she gets something on her clothes, yep!

Back out in the main room Chioss is sitting on the floor with the other kids and they've got a whole dollhouse situation with multiple buildings and a dozen dolls going on.

Permalink

That is an intimidating amount of dolls and houses! Eefa chooses one of the kids to watch and tries to figure out what they are doing.
