thank you, and i love cael's concept! i'm hoping (if the mods go for it) that his issue is that he literally has no control, so if he thinks about being hungry, suddenly he's in the cafeteria even when he's in the midst of a conversation elsewhere, and thus he's generally a liability. i'll probably have him own his own, even if it's some deal where he works out of the academy cafeteria as a "catering" type of situation. could they have come up as cadets at the same time, maybe?
