Leon rushed out of the cafeteria a bit quicker than he probably should have. It wasn't as if the man he'd been sitting with had done anything wrong, but he'd said so little while the boy had tried to be conversational. He hadn't stared too much, had he? There were so many other rude things that he could have done that he hadn't, like asked embarrassing questions about the man's disfigurement. All things considered, he thought he'd done a nice job trying to interact.

The young mage took a seat before the nurse could introduce him to some other strange newcomer. Tonight he needed to practice alchemy again, and for that he'd need all the energy he could muster.

He gave a small nod to the older boy he'd sat next to before scanning the floor for any passing feline.
