Ooc: Erm, I have absolutely no excuse for why I left for two and a half months without warning. Sorry.

Bic: Jay looked up slightly at the sudden comment from Jake. He was surprised to say the least. To him, Rukiea was doing just fine. Perhaps a bit distracted but not sulking. But he made no objections as he continued on with his meal. Jake had a better understanding of his sister after all.

As she nibbled on a sausage, Leita took a look around the group. Everyone showed signs of the struggles they had been through and knew that if things didn't end soon, it would only get worse. The thought of having their meeting after they finished breakfast filled with with anxiety but the possibles of what could happen the longer they pushed it off was worse. She sighed to herself and forced her mind to slow down and think on the positives, like how they were able to have an actual meal together for the first time in a long while.

Rukiea jumped. Her brother had actually caught on to her. She looked at him and shook her head. "You know... Your sharp at times.. How about you help me relieve the stress. But anyways, let's not talk about all this.." She smiled and looked at Jay and Leita. "Sorry.. I am a little sulky, but I don't want to let it bug all of you guys." She smiled as best as she could. She looked at Jay and then Leita. How horrible she felt.

Jake nodded. "Right.. Sorry.. Just had to tell you." He looked down at Zane. "He hasn't came to yet.. I mean.. Why is he so... worrisome.." He sight and continued to eat the food that was on the plate. He looked toward the entrance and smiled.
