"Hi," Aspenn answered as she shook Sephe's hand, "nice to meet you."
Finally noticing all the food, Aspenn noticed a lack of the kai her old school had served, like taewa tutaekuri potatoes, puha greens, and manuka-honey salmon. She only knew what some of they food there was.
"So, what food do you suggest?"

Cherry smiled. "I would suggest the chicken." Looking away from her plate to Aspenn. "Oh, and I'm Cherry, nice to meet you."

Starlit had met both Persephone and Cherry before. "Hi," she returned the wave. It seemed as if eating lunch alone was not going to happen, and she was fine with that.
Looking over at Aspenn she decided to answer her question as well. "The potatoes here are good as well," she said pointing to the bowl of creamy white mashed vegetables.
Picking up her goblet she took the container of pumpkin juice and poured it in until it half way full. Putting the glass to her lips she took a quick sip of the drink and placed it on the table. "So," she said and looked over at Ondrea who had not spoken for a while, "Are you going to sit with us or not, if you prefer it you can join the Slytherin table though?" she asked lightly not wanting to make her friend sit a a foreign table if she did not want to.

"Thanks." She said to both Cherry and the blue-eyed girl as she heaped the creamy potatoes on to her plate. It was good, but she missed the traditional food from home. "Is there any kind of fish? Or sweet potato?"

"Well, I think there's some farther down the table...."
Persephone looked down the table, trying to see if there was any fish or sweet potatos some where down there. She was sure there was, but her small stature wouldn't allow her to look over some of the foods and people in the way.
She scooped up some of chicken and mashed potatoes in front of her. They were great and she continued to eat, looking up at Ondrea, waiting for her answer.

Cherry pointed down the line, very near the other end of the table. "There's some fish, it's quite good as well. Not so sure about sweet potatoes, though." She grabbed some potatoes as well and waited in silence for Ondrea's answer.

"Thanks!" She said to both girls.
Aspenn was happy that all the girls were so helpful, and smiled as she started on her food.

Persephone reached for some more food. She felt like some spicy stuff and spotted some buffalo wings by Aspenn. She eyed them for a moment, not quite certain if she should eat them or not. She knew that she might regret the spicy food later, but she really really wanted some.
Well, I'm not just going to be lazing around for the rest of the day...so why not!?!
She looked around and spotted a taco near her, and grabbed that and put it on her plate.
"Hey, Aspenn, can you pass me the buffalo wings?"

The girl's continued to chatter about the food and their present school days, and Shayla felt quite left out. Feeling excluded from the group, and not as hungry as she had first thought, Shayla rose from her seat with a somber grin. Taking one more strawberry from the platter, she waved briskly and drifted out of the Great Hall.

Persephone felt immeadiately as if she had done something wrong. She wasn't exactly sure what, but she knew that she had made a huge mistake. She turned towards Cherry, her eyes filled with concern for her new friend.
"Did we do something wrong?" Persephone waved to Shayla, but talked at the same time. Perhaps she would talk to her after supper.

OOC: ha, sorry for kind of disapearing on you all...
BIC: Ondrea was still standing in the middle of the hall, she was lost in a day-dream, or nightmare as most would call it. It was only until someon finally ran her over, and she was sent to the ground. Rubbing her head, she looked up at the table she was at, and then realized how many more people had come.
Blushing furiously, she got up, and then looked at Star, and then at the Slythering table, Star, Slytherin Table, Star... There was no one at the Slytherin table that she knew, and now looking at this table, she knew Cherry, Persephone, and Star, plus she had just met Shayla. It would had been her usual choice to choose to sit with them, since she knew them, and prefer not to meet new people, or be stuck with people she didn't know; but this time was different, she looked like a total weirdo.
Star was one of her best friends, so she knew that Star knew what she was thinking, so finally she decided she should just sit with them. Fitting as much of her body as she couldd, she sat on the edge of the bench, beside Star, hoping that she would move over.
"Sorry 'bout that, guess I'll stay." she said, picking up her goblet and taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.

Persephone was glad to see Ondrea sit with them. It felt great to be sitting with a whole bunch of people that she knew and were friends with than eating in the common room like she usually did. If only ever night was like this, she might actually eat down in the Great Hall a lot more often.
"I'm glad you're eating with us!" She said happily, her eyes lighting up.

Ondrea was surprised that Persephone said that, not because Persephone was a mean person, but really who would want to sit with Ondrea, "Ha, thanks." Ondrea said, staring at the food in front of her, deciding what she should eat, everything looked so deliscious.
Ondrea remembered the girl who she had yet to introduce herself to, and just mumbled, "I'm Ondrea."
She took another sip from her goblet, when spotting a platter of veggie pattys she nearly screamed full of joy, "Star!" Ondrea pointed to the pattys', "Look at them!" she said in an excited tone.

Starlit looked back at Shayla who had left the Great Hall in confusion. I hope we didn't insult her, she thought as she watched the new student leave the room. Turning back to her meal she dipped her sandwich into the ketchup before taking another bite of it.
Sliding over a bit to make room for Ondrea she smiled actually glad to be eating with so many people and picked up her goblet to take another sip of pumpkin juice. Just as she put it to her lips she caught Ondrea pointing excitedly at a platter of veggie burgers. She snorted a laugh and slammed the mug onto the table coughing form juice swallowed the wrong way.
"Well then eat one," she said and handed Ondrea the tray. She turned to Aspenn and asked a question that had been in the corner of her mind sine she asked if Hogwarts served. "What exactly are puha greens?" she asked with a bit of embarrassment on the fact she had no clue what the food was.

[glow=teal,2,300]Aspenn smiled at Star, feeling badly about confusing her. "Puha greens are these leafy green vegetables in New Zealand. It's kind of like spinach. My mom was Maori, so we used to eat them alot."
Aspenn was suddenly struck with saddness and her smile faded. She was homesick already, plus she missed her mom. Stupid cancer! Why'd mom have to get it, why her?
Blinking back the tears, Aspenn tried to put on a pleasant face and hoped that no one would notice how she'd almost lost it.Control yourself Aspenn. She thought. If you can just keep your control, everything will be fine.[/glow]
