Coco led her team into the dining hall and was surprised to find it rather packed. On her tip toes she peered around and managed to identify a handful of tables that were still empty and then led her team towards a line where they could get their food. Yatsuhashi got a few looks and stares and Coco grinned. News spread faster than she could have hoped, and she made sure to stand tall. Finding the back of the line with trays and silverware, they bustled through slowly expected some sort of line where the meal of the day was slopped onto the tray, but instead she passed through a doorway into a room almost as large as the cafeteria.

It was almost like a supermarket with everything prepared and ready. There was an entire section dedicated to fruits and vegetables, a meats section, a dessert section, and even a few smaller sections with cuisine that had origins in some of the other kingdoms. She spotted a few snobby looking individuals taking some picks from the Atlas trays, including a team that was in completely white and pink uniforms. It hurt her eyes to look at but she shook it off.

Velvet, having made a mad dash towards the vegetables, left Coco with Yatsuhashi and Fox, the pair shortly departing towards the meats. Coco figured they'd all find one another once they were done eating, and glanced around wondering what she was in the mood for. She'd expected to have a few choices but this was incredible. So she decided to take her time, walking up each of the rows for something that caught her eye, or her nose.

Chuckling to herself as she picked a few fruits and a sandwich from Mistral, Coco had spotted some meals that seemed designed for children. Little chicken nuggets in the shape of various animals and Grimm had a tray all to themselves. Coco found herself lost in nostalgia, having eaten the heads off such nuggets in her own personal way of fighting Grimm, before bumping into someone and nearly spilling her tray.

"Ah, sorry about that..." Looking up she was thankful her shades were still on. Coco's eye twitched as she realized she'd bumped into one of the girls in pink and white that had been standing near the Atlas foods.

"Excuse you, you should probably invest in actual glasses instead of those hideous shades." Coco took a breath and steadied herself as not to punch the girl. Standing slightly taller than Coco with a too-short dress and showing far more cleavage than should be allowed, the prim and pink girl glared down at Coco. She could feel a once over from the girl who started to shake her head. Coco's hands clenched against her tray.

"I said sorry, how about you reel it back there pinky?" A few people stopped to watched and Coco rolled her eyes to walk away. She'd made it a few feet before one of her steps felt odd, as if she'd stepped on something slick, and slipped onto the floor, spilling her tray. Managing not to get any on her, Coco looked at the mess and sighed, while the girl in pink and her entourage burst into laughter.

"Oh, what a shame. You should've watched your step there, maybe you are blind after all!" Coco clenched her teeth as she stood, and she watched Yatsuhasi and Fox make their way over, but Coco shook her head and held out a hand. "Oooh, she's keeping the boys away, this must be serious."

Coco faced off with the girl, each standing a few feet apart, taking steady stances and waiting for the other to make a move. Coco eased forward when Velvet came from her side and grabbed her arm.

"Fighting isn't allowed on grounds Coco! If you start the fight you'll get punished, let's just go." Velvet tugged, though unable to move Coco at all, with one hand and held her tray with the other.

"Oh look, she's got a pet to do the talking for her. Isn't that cute?" The girl and her entourage burst into another round of laughter and Coco clenched her fists tighter.

"Velvet is right, best we leave this be for now." Yatsuhashi stepped forward and put a hand on Coco's shoulder. Glancing around at the small crowd that had formed Coco decided best not to start an altercation. Her team already had a bit of good influence through the school with Yatsuhashi's performance, it'd be a shame to let it all go to waste getting in a fight with pretty in pink.
