Paige paused even though she'd tried to hurry past. Tilting her head, she let her brown waves fall over her shoulder as she looked at Kokuro. She was offering lunch? They didn't share things or hang out, so the offer came as something of a surprise. It sounded kind of nice. Seeing the others nearby, Paige hesitated though. "Bento?" she asked, her voice coming out a little sharper than she meant. Being around others just made her on edge. It made her not trust nice.

She planned to say no, but when she opened her mouth, different words came out. "That doesn't sound so bad I guess. Thanks." Keeping her back straight and her head high with defiance, she walked into the room. Please let them keep their emotions to themselves. Paige collected one of the boxes and turned her back to the others as she sat at a table on the far side. No socialization necessary besides a few cursory words to Kokuro. She was someone Paige needed to get along with and cooking made her curious. She heard only a little of the photoshoot conversation and planned to stay entirely out of it.

"Just what exactly is in this bento though?"
