The next time that door would open was to lead them all to a highly secured cafeteria in the basement of the building. They all kept close, searched again after the incident with the youth and Cameron.
Avani was kept a close eye on, his blue and brown eyes narrowed towards the guards and any of the men who weren't of their people. They all murmured amongst themselves as they were herded into the tight room and lead to sit on the benched tables where food was set out, as well as silverware.
As they were left alone, the people slowly realized they were able to eat the food before them, all very hungered after being taken captive. They took some, smelled it, took a small taste, possibly testing it for poison. Waiting a moment for any reactions before it seemed they all deemed it safe to eat.
The silverware was plastic, but it went unnoticed by the natives, eating with their hands, they were deffinitely not 'well mannered' by the 'sofisticated' men and woman of their Neo-Earth's definition.
Avani spoke with several of the men quietly at his table, despite guards telling him to cut it out, he merely gazed at them a moment and continued on, his food untouched despite his hunger.
"That one's going to be trouble." A guard muttered to another, crossing his arms as they studied Avani with a grunt. He just wouldn't cooperate with them, it was obvious. Of course, ifhe didn't want to eat, it wouldn't harm them any--so what if they lost one of them? One less savage to try and keep track of.
There was a commotion on the other end of the room and Avani quickly got up as a woman gave a pained moan, holding her stomach. She was very pregnant. Avani was over the tables in a flash and by her side before anyone even knew something was going on. She'd gone into labor, more of the tribe working on getting her to the floor as an older woman made her way over, pushing the boy out of her way gently so the younger woman could be assisted in giving birth.
