<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bf0000">Nadira's expression softened ever so slightly as the white haired man piled a little more food onto her tray. She wasn't entirely sure what his reasoning was, maybe a way to make up for the fact that other soldiers were so willing to let her people die, that he was showing he had the will to share? She couldn't be sure, but again she saw no reason to take the kind gesture as anything more than that. She sank back against the wall without a sound, eating slowly as he spoke. <br/>

She smiled, her eyes following the soldiers as she watched they watched the young woman storm across the room, and plop alone in the corner to ear with a frown on her face. Nadira shook her head slightly at the display before she considered how she should reply. "It is not fear." She said quietly, setting the spoon down on her tray as she raised her eyes to meet Angel's. "It is caution." She gave him a very slight smile, and bowed her head, assured that he would be able to tell the difference. <br/>

She ate for a moment more in silence, before setting the entire tray down and away. The cool night air was already beginning to bite at her, and without a word she pulled at her bag. Her mother always packed hers in the morning with anything she might need in case she could not return home before nightfall. After a brief moment of searching she pulled out a battered old blanket, worn with age but clean all the same. She draped it over herself, and tugged it to cover Angel as well. She was just setting the pack aside when a small wrapped package caught her eye, big bold Japanese lettering on the top. 'For your hard work' it read, loosely translated. Nadira looked at it curiously for a moment before unwrapping, and to her surprise found three less than perfect mochi balls inside, obviously made with the help of her younger siblings. She withdrew two, and extended one out to Angel with a tender smile before taking a bite of her own.</span><br/><br/>((Just sneaking one more post in before bed... Night everyone!))
