Description:
This large dining room is the size of a small banquet hall, holding a single oversized table. Capable of serving a few dozen at a time, the dining room is more than adequate for the needs of this small orphanage. Polished wooden floors and a soft cream colored ceiling provide a subtle contrast which is pleasing enough to the eyes as is is spartan in decor.

====> The Kitchen

Father Anderson entered the noisy room with a warm smile to the orphans who responded with giddy cheers and salutations at his appearence. He had been away from them for too long now, a fact that truly saddened him. Sitting down at the head of the table, the Scottish priest moved hsi napkin to his lap and looked out at those gathered at the table with serious eyes. Evidently the Sister had not been as strict as she should have and the children had gotten a tad out of line.

"Fergettin sumthin are we children?" he asked in a serious tone that somehow managed to come across as just a bit playful. Immediately a tiny hand shot up to respond followed by a high-pitched voice of a child.

"Prayers Father?" the little girl asked through a gap in her front teeth.

"Aye, tha's right Nancy. Ye were aboot tah dig in without giving praise where it's doo." casting a somewhat judgemental glance over the guilty faces, Father Anderson folded his hands in prayer. "Thank thee Laird fer all Ye haff seen fit ta bless us wit this day. In Yer Name we humbly offer praise....Amen." Anderson said with the numerous children chiming in on the second line. With the prayer complete, Alexander's smile returned and he grasped his own fork and knife. "Alright children, nao ye can dig in."

------------------> Kitchen

Roukostu had seated near some of the other nuns and children, after prayer she picked up her own fork and knife a gently eating, she looked at the children as she did so, for someone who was used to fighting, she gaved a smile that even the children couldn't help but warm up to, she did however keep a serious glance to Akiza and Lee, just in case.

Lee slowly let himself walk into the small dinning room with a pleasant smile. He held his hands at his sides as he looked around at the small children and he glanced toward Anderson and then over toward Roukostu and then moved himself over toward a chair that was empty and took hold of it and pulled it over toward the orphans. He continued to smile as he looked down on them and paused as he looked toward Anderson as he spoke of praying.

Asamotto slowly let his head fall down as his hands came together as he repeated the words in his head "Amen." He then let his head raise up as he looked to his gloves and slowly started to removed them finger by finger and placed them onto his knees as he looked down toward the food with a smile that was bright and on going. He laughed softly as he looked to the orphans at his sides. Always good to be reminded

Akiza took her sword and dagger sheaths off and placed them next to the door then walked into the dinning room and sat next to Lee. She closed her eyes, folded her hands and said the prayer to herself "Amen."

Then she looked around at all the orphans smiling and enjoying their meal. Then she looked at Rou, Lee and lastly Father Anderson, thinking of Rou reminded her of Serena- her sister, Lee reminded her of Brandyn- her brother, and Father Anderson reminded her of her father. Akiza smiles to herself and starts to enjoy her meal...while thinking of her fallen siblings and father, smiling the whole time.

With the prayer completed, Father Anderson heartily dug into the food before him. He found the turkey to be quite satisfactory and the vegetables were good aswell. As he glanced around the table bright eyed orphans wolfed down mouthfull after mouthfull of the meal and seemed to enjoy it well enough. Their table manners may be a bit lacking in some cases but he didn't have the heart to reprimand them tonight. It was his last meal with them for a while afterall. It was because of that, he was gratful that Roukostu, lee, and this Akiza girl were behaving well around the children. Anderson wanted nothing to damage the peacful nature of the evening. Finishing his plate, Alexander gave a frustrated sigh as he checked his wrist watch. Time had flown faster than he expected and it was time for him to return to the Vatican. With Maxwell gone and many of the other executives out of the country cooridinating troop movements it was up to him to pick up the slack on the homefront.

The Paladin rose to his feet and smiled warmly at the children still seated. "Ah'm sawry children boot ere's a wee bit o business Ah haff tah take care uv. Ah might be gone a while so make sure tah listen tah everything Sister Mary Clarence tells ye." Anderson said gesturing to the nun sitting on the opposite end of the table. Waving good bye to the orphans, the priest made his exit and sent glances towards Roukostu and Lee to follow him once they had finished their meals.

Roukostu got up from the table as she bowed her head in respect, she went after Anderson after that, in a hush tone she asked him, "what is wrong?"she asked worried about the Paladins look in the dinning room.

Lee hand one hand on a roll of bread while the other held a turkey leg. He bit into the leg as he then chewed it quickly before swallowing it and letting out a deep breath. He then turned toward a orphan "Always have to remember to eat just enough so that your full but not too full. That way, when you go outside to play, you'll be able to win while everyone else is lugging themselves around." He took a bite out of the roll and then another as it was now gone from his hand and after a few moments, he took a small cup and drank down the bread with a smile "Then you'll be able to grow up nice and strong and help me." The children all looked Lee over and there smiles were wide in the thought.

Lee paused as he looked to see Anderson speaking and raising from his seat. Lee quickly bit into the turkey and before long only the bone was left. His full plate was now only crumbs and bones. He took a napkin and wiped his hands off and then his mouth. He placed the napkin onto the plate and stood up as he held onto his gloves. "Okay, next time I see you all, I want to play a game outside and see just how bad I get beat."

With a light laugh, Lee turned and started out the door, a light wave was aimed toward them all as they returned it with there own. As he walked toward the room that held his weapon, he aimed to go where Anderson was shortly after.

Akiza suddenly looks up and watches Rou and Lee follow Anderson. Akiza then looks at the children "Please excuse me"

Akiza then gets up and follows her master confused and worried that something horrible has happened. She grabs her weapons, puts them on and flies off following Rou, Lee and Anderson hoping everything is ok....
