[/font][/i] W H A T M U S T W E D O T O R E S T O R E- - our innocence[/font][/center][/i] Mel paused in the door, stretching her arms in front of her to give herself time to look around the room. Jamie, of course, was still in class, but she couldn’t see Jared or Wanda or even Ian anywhere in the kitchen. Mel sighed. Just her for now, then, unless for some reason she felt like sitting with Kyle. Yeah. That would happen.
At the counter, Mel looked down at the tray with her lunch—the usual soup/stew and roll. She had been making soap that day, and the burn still hadn’t worn off her hands. Damn soap. With her left hand, she tentatively grabbed the edge of the tray, supporting the other end with one finger from her right hand. The less she touched anything with her red, raw hands, the better.
Melanie maneuvered carefully to an empty table and plopped her food down. She was about to sit in one of the chairs, when she reconsidered her position. In one quick move, she stepped to the other side of the table, so she could face the doorway in case any of her closest friends walked in. For the moment, though…The roll was not nearly the best thing Mel had ever eaten, but it did do wonders for her grumbling stomach. She picked bits off slowly, stalling in the hopes that she could find someone to talk to before she was done.
The doorway remained conspicuously empty. Mel dipped a corner of the roll into the broth of the soup. The taste was different than usual—one of the usual flavors in the broth of which she didn’t know the name was absent. They would need to go on a raid soon…For now, though, she was just sitting, waiting, and eating.

Jared streched his hands above his head, feeling the joints pop and strech. He let out a relaxed sigh and walked into the kitchen. It was lunch time and people where slowly starting to stream in. He had been put with the task of cleaning the mirrors in the bathrooms, main plaza and the fields. Sighing he walked over to the food. As soon as his eyes fell onto the soup and the rolls he knew that they hadn't gone on a raid for a while. He grabbed his tray and grabbed an extra bun before turning around.
People had started to fill the seats. He gaze flickered around before finding Mel. Moving the tray onto his right hand and started dodge people and chairs. He got to the table and dropped his tray beside Mel picking up his spoon and swirling it around in the soup. "We have to go on a riad." Jared muttered before sending a smile towards Mel, "You going to come with us?" He asked her bbeen doing this alot lately. her cheek. He had been doing this alot lately. Ever since he got Mel back. It was a way that made him know that she was in there and not Wanda.

Wanda walked into the kitchen rubbing her right arm. A bruise slowly forming. She tripped on her water out of the pool that morning. She walked start to the kitchen and grabbed a tray. She filled up half a bowl and grabbed a bun. Knowing she'd just convince one of her friends to eat it. Without realizing it she had walked over and sat down beside Mel.
"Hi Mel and Jared." Wanda said happily before looking down and picking up her spoon. "Hows your day so far?" She asked polietly as she let her spoon fill up with soup before she put the spoon into her mouth. The taste was off, but not by much. They had been out of that one ingredient for weeks. She knew that they would be going out for a raid soon.

[/font][/i] W H A T M U S T W E D O T O R E S T O R E- - our innocence[/font][/center][/i] Mel smiled when she saw Jared enter the kitchen. Some company. When he sat down next to her, she subconsciously leaned towards him. Whenever he was in the same room as her, she always leaned closer to him without even noticing it most of the time. Mel took another sip of the soup. The flavor still caught her off guard even after it had been gone for so long. Still, she just expected this soup to taste the way it always did whenever she saw it.
”We have to go on a raid.” Mel loved the way he thought the same thing she did. It was comforting to know they were close both physically and mentally at thing moment. At his next teasing question she grinned again. “Wouldn’t miss it for the world,” she replied.
Absorbed in Jared as she always was, Mel barely even noticed Wanda had come in before she sat on her other side. Melanie liked this position: her man and her best girl of either side of her. If Jamie were there too it would have been perfect.
Mel nodded to return Wanda’s greeting. “Not so good, actually. I’ve been making soap all day.” She held up her pink hands as proof.

Jared laughed. "You one upped me. I had mirror duty." He said showing the cuts on his hands to the girls. "Mirrors don't like it if you try to steady yourself on them." He said smiling before ripping a chunk off the bun and putting it into his mouth. He was silent as he chewed and swollowed it. "What about you Wanda? What did you do today?" He asked the small girl as he picked some soup onto his fork before letting it spill out back into the bowl.
He soon finished his first bowl and stood up and went to go get another.

Giving an apologetic look at Mel and Jared for what they had done today she answerd Jared's question. "Jeb had me doing errands. I had to go and ask the guys who are on watch what the Seekers where doing and how close they where. I tried to help them, but Ian said it was to dangerous and sent me back." She said, her face turning into a dissappointed frown before smiling again. "But I got to see Ian."
She still didn't know why she had to fall in love with Ian. He was human, and she was a Soul. Two different speices. He needed food, shelter, water and clothing to survive. She needed a host to survive, she as in the soul her. Tucking her blonde hair behind her ears she started to eat the soap and bun. Her memory of their converstaion when she sat down sparked and her mouth opened to ask Mel about it. "You guys where talking about going on a raid??

[/font][/i] W H A T M U S T W E D O T O R E S T O R E- - our innocence[/font][/center][/i] Mel smiled at Jared’s joke. It was nice to see him smile after all that time when he had worn such a hard mask. She ate half of her remaining roll while Wanda talked about her day, content to just listen for the moment.
”… but Ian said it was too dangerous and sent me back” As Wanda’s voice fell at the end, Mel looked up to say something sympathetic—she wasn’t quite sure yet what exactly, probably something about Ian be blinded by his care—but Wanda perked up again right away at her next statement, depriving Mel of the need to do anything.
Mel shifted when Jared stood up so she wouldn’t fall over on the bench. Automatically, she looked from the empty bowl in his hands to his destination, as if she actually needed to check where he was going. She knew he wouldn’t just be leaving so suddenly.
"You guys where talking about going on a raid?? Melanie turned her head back to Wanda. ”Yeah,” she told the soul, ”We’re out of so much stuff in the caves…It’s really long overdue. We should have gone last week.”

Jared returned after filling up his bowl and sat on the bench and nodded. "We should have. Those damn Seekers where too close that time. If Ian wasn't such a protective bast....If Ian wasn't so protective over Wanda....If Ian wasn't so pro...." He couldn't find the right words that wouldn't make Wanda feel responisble. "We could've if Ian hadn't thought it was too dangerous to get to the jeep without the Seekers seeing us." Jared concluded, finally finding words that didn't have anything to do with Wanda.
"I say we should go without Ian this time." Jared said dunking halk of a bun into the soup and biting the soggy bread. He looked at Mel and smiled.

Wanda smiled at the thought of another raid. Something to help her feel like she's doing something important enough to earn her stay. When Jared returned she quickly gave him half of her bun. He started to talk about last week when the groupd had tried to go out fo a raid. She remembered it clearly. "We should have. Those damn Seekers where too close that time. If Ian wasn't such a protective bast....If Ian wasn't so protective over Wanda....If Ian wasn't so pro....We could've if Ian hadn't thought it was too dangerous to get to the jeep without the Seekers seeing us." She frowned and nodded, feeling responsible that Ian had made them stay, if she wasn't so tiny and if nobody wanted to feel protective over the body they would've gone last week.
"I think...we should go w-without Ian." Wanda whispered feeling guilty that she admitted that. If Ian figured out that she had agreed he'd be...well angry probably. He'd tell her that he comes to protect her, if he's not there who'd protect her? She wouldn't reply, but she'd be feeling gulity. Jared would be there. Kyle sometimes comes, but she didn't trust Kyle.
She thought about for a moment before sitting up straighter and looking at them with a false smile, her blue grey eyes shining. "It would go faster if Ian doesn't come." Her voice was still a whisper, like usual when she spoke, but it was with confiendence. The statement was true. It would go faster without Jared and Ian's frequent fights over what to do and where to go.

[/font][/i] W H A T M U S T W E D O T O R E S T O R E- - our innocence[/font][/center][/i] Melanie adjusted again as Jared sat down. If Ian wasn't such a protective bast....If Ian wasn't so protective over Wanda....If Ian wasn't so pro.... Mel drained the rest of her soup and watched Wanda while Jared stumbled over his sentences. The way she wilted and frowned, Mel could see that she felt guilty about Ian’s behavior. Mel glanced back at Jared, ready to cut in, but realized from his expression and the way he looked at Wanda that he was trying to soften his words.
Mel felt a pang inside her chest. She knew she should be happy that he was so mindful of Wanda’s feelings, but it still made her jealous. Unreasonably so, and she knew and accepted that it was unreasonable, but she still couldn’t stop it. Mel hid it behind a smile and a bite of bread so Wanda wouldn’t feel guilty about this, too.
”I say we should go without Ian this time." Mel returned Jared’s gaze and she felt fine once more. Wanda’s agreement to his suggestion surprised her, though. For once, Mel didn’t have a strong opinion either way, but she was fine going along with Jared and Wanda. She touched Wanda’s shoulder comfortingly. ”I’ll tell him, if you like. And if he doesn’t like the idea, too bad for him. We’re all here to protect each other.”
[/color] Then, in a transparent attempt to take Wanda’s mind away from Ian’s disapproval, she added, ”Are you going to finish that?” Mel pointed at the last half a roll. She wasn’t all that hungry, but she was pretty sure Wanda wasn’t planning on eating it at all. [/blockquote][/blockquote]
