Week 16- Sunday
Who: Simon and Sydni
What: Dinner
Where/When: Cafeteria, midevening

At the buffet of life there are eaters and there are starvers. Simon was an eater. One great thing about coming from a good Christian home was his mother believed that a good meal was necessary at least 3 times a day. Sion could eat more than any one person had the right to. It all went to his metabolism, but you'd swear there was a black hole in his gut somewhere hiding all the food. He smiled widely as he carried a overly full tray back to his empty table. A heaping of salad with raisins and french dressing on top, a thick balogna and swiss sandwich, a sloppy joe for good measure, a full-to-the-brim orange soda and some type of apple pastry for dessert. More than likely he would be going back for more, but this was a good start.

It was pretty humid out, the perfect kind of night where you sit inside in the AC and enjoy modern technology. It was also the perfect kind of night to take a stroll outside while the sun wasn't out to burn your face off. But nuts to that- there was artificial cold to be had! That and sloppy joes.

Simon parked himself at his lonely table, although today he didn't mind the solitude. He'd gotten himself a great deal of food, and planned on stuffing himself silly with it. Starting a new life made one quite hungry all the time, he realized. The only friends he'd really made were girls, and it would've been a bit embarassing for one of them to see him chowing down like this.

Sydni was in an excellent mood. After her successful 'expedition' with Serghei the previous day, she was riding on cloud 9. Even all day at work she'd been more effervescent than usual, and had spent her break cataloging the information she'd gathered. Rather than doing her homework. Oops. But even still, she couldn't feel guilty or even stressed. She was having too good a day.

It was in this mood that she made her way to the Dining Hall for dinner. She also had a wonderfully healthy appetite. Her tray, however, was a bit less, uh, meaty. Perhaps surprising for a werewolf, but she had discovered long ago that a diet with less meat kept her feeling healthier. So, her tray was loaded with a heaping salad, more veggies than lettuce, and a hommus wrap with more veggies. She did eat more now than ever before, as evidenced by the two complete meals on her plate; either could have made a complete meal on its own .

Scanning the caf quickly, Sydni recognized a familiar face. A boy... Simon! That was his name. He was sitting alone, and rather than do the same, Sydni decided to join him. Simon really had no reason to be embarrassed about his meal. Sydni could have met his meal bite for bite. She was a were after all - her healthy appetite doubled since her change.

"Hey, Simon. Do you mind if I join you?"

He felt a little stupid, what with sloppy joe sauce all over his lips while Sydni was smiling sweetly and asking politely to join. Under normal circumstances, Simon would've melted into the floor and been gone from sight forever. But Sydni was a cool cat, so he knew she wouldn't mind the chowfest. Besides, she had a hefty plate herself. It was full or healthier and lighter (girlie) foods, but it was still heaping.

"Yeah, come on," he drawled, wiping his face with a napkin. Gesturing to all the empty chairs, he said "I'll see if I can squeeze you in amongst my enrourage." He watched with a grin as Sydni took a seat.

"So, Sydni, how was your day today?" She was being kind enough to sit with him, so he felt that he, as a host, should make her feel welcomed and comfortable. Not that he would've had to work on that fact anyway. It was obvious as daylight that Simon was pleased to see Sydni again, and even more pleased that she'd remembered his name and sought him out.
