This Isn't My End

Chapter 7: Human

Lucina's POV

I tugged my wrist out from Hanji's hold, gently. I asked her to wait a moment before we head over. I grab the end of my black sweater, and tug it over my head. The little breeze brushed my stomach before the undershirt fell over my pale skin again.

It was braided rope, that I made with white sheep's wool, as straps. Brown leather created the rest.

I tie my sweater around my waist, taking Hanji's hand in mine, before walking on.

"What do we have for lunch?"

"Stuff."

3rd person.

Lucina steps through the dining hall's doors confidently, her sweater fluttering around her waist. Hanji stood next to her, her arm scooped with her new friend.

The usual loud chatter in the room quieted immensely, as they stare at Lucina, some with hesitance, some with accusation, but most with curiosity.

Lucina's eyebrow twitched in confusion.

There were actually more people than she expected to be here.

"Let's go, Lucina! Let's get you some food!"

The girl says nothing, letting the brunette drag her wherever she pleases.

The whispers continue, even after when Hanji made her sit with her and the other captains and commander.

When they sat down, Lucina didn't even notice the stares she was getting, for she was too engrossed with the 'meal' that laid on a metal tray in front of her.

She looks at the odd contraption that was metal as well, it seemed to be a metal stick with a dome like hole.

She picks it up and examines it carefully.

She believes she has read about the contraption in her book...

It's supposed to be called, 'a spoon.'

You are supposed to use the contraption to scoop contents into it, therefore, 'spooning' it.

She tries using it by dipping it into her soup, letting the liquid first steady itself into the spoon. Pieces of vegetables floated on the surface, making Lucina furrow her brow.

Was she...supposed to use the contraption to help her eat?

She hears a struggled cough in front of her, as well as just noticing the stares glanced towards her, Hanji's giggling ringing through her ears.

A slight blush dusted across Lucina's face as she slowly brought the spoon into her mouth, then closed it. She had watched the cadets around her how to use the contraption, and copied as best as she could.

And she was able to do it as if she has been her whole life...at least part of it. She quickly was able to finish her soup, and drank half of her cup of water...but one more was left in the tray.

She looks at the brown loaf in the side of the tray, and picks it up.

In her book, it said that this was an edible item called 'bread.'

It seemed more solid than how the book described it, yet she still was able to tear of a small piece easily. She pops it into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
