She only vaguely recognised both from having seen them in passing, but she hadn't properly spoken to each. One of them, Marcus, extended a hand in greeting to both her and Carina, and she happily accepted it, juggling her plate of food in her other hand. "I'm Val," she said, introducing herself not only to him, but also to Grace who did the same before sitting down. "It's nice to meet you all," she added, retracting her hand and offering them a warm smile as she took a seat.<br/><br/>Brook greeted her as well, with a warm smile no less, and that made Val feel a little better because on the outside it<i>seemed</i>like she was doing okay. She didn't want to jump to making assumptions though because she could also be very wrong. "Yeah, I might have to do that too," Val replied, chuckling softly. The food was definitely a bonus, and as a foodie, she knew she'd be indulging as much as she could. Working out for a little while each day was probably something she could benefit from if she planned on doing that though.<br/><br/>It wasn't long after that, though, that Brook decided to stand and leave. Now Val noticed that the smile on her face, regardless of how genuine it seemed, may simply be a mask. She didn't really trust that she was leaving to just prep for the challenge, and Val wanted to speak up and address it but Marcus beat her to it.<br/><br/>Her gaze drifted over to him as he spoke, and she smiled a bit. He definitely put things across in a nice and articulate way, which she thought was easily much better than whatever Val had been about to say. She constantly felt the need to comfort people, but a lot of the time she ended up stumbling over her words and blurting out the wrong thing. She was glad she hadn't done that last night with Danny after he told her about his situation with Brook.<br/><br/>But as the support reached Brook, Carina took the moment to excuse herself from the table rather abruptly, leaving her food and drink behind. Val pursed her lips, hesitating for a moment. Her food was mostly done, and even if it wasn't, the fact that something seemed to be up with Carina left her a little concerned. She was the other newest addition and Val had no idea what went on for her since she arrived because she'd been getting to know Danny.<br/><br/>After guzzling down the rest of her orange juice, Val addressed the others at the table with a beaming smile. "You'll have to excuse me as well but it was really nice meeting all of you. I think I have to still get acquainted with a few others, or I should at least try to before today's challenge begins." Val pushed her chair in and glanced at Marcus. "And thank you for breakfast, by the way. It was wonderful." Recalling his name from the text earlier in the morning, she'd assumed that he'd been responsible for the spread, but he confirmed it himself when he spoke to Brook a few moments ago.<br/><br/>Val then left the kitchen area and headed inside to try and catch up with Carina. She didn't spot her right away, and she walked into the bedroom first, calling out her name to try and catch her attention. "Carina?" She caught a glimpse of her that lasted a split second before she disappeared into the bathroom and so Val headed over there. She'd had every intention of finding Danny once she was done with her food but she decided that could wait for a little longer. She wanted to at least try and make sure Carina was okay. They were hardly friends but Val wasn't going to just let it go when she clearly seemed a little off, compared to the fun energy she'd radiated last evening.<br/><br/>Her voice was gentle as she called out. "Hey, are you okay?" She hung around outside instead of going in, and resorted to knocking on the doorframe to further announce her presence. "You left the table kind of suddenly."
