Neel's face stretched, showing her discomfort with Zeke's response. "Geez man, well - at least you've got a good friend to eat with now, right?" Immediately, Neel attempted to change the subject from Zeke's family matters. It wasn't that she didn't care, it just was a bit awkward for her to talk about. Most people on Kanna kept family matters to themselves. Besides, they were all likely related somehow... In some cases, it was better not to know.

"Japan?" She repeated the country's name, following Zeke to the selected table. "I wonder what it was like." She stated, hoping that Zeke was the one person who would actually amuse her curiosities. Especially when it pertained to Earth. "Kono tabemono wa yoi nioi ga suru~" She spoke pretty well from what the instructional videos told her. This was all she knew about Japanese culture, their language. It was beautifully spoken and she rather enjoyed learning the characters.

Before the conversation had a chance to finish, their food was placed carefully on the table. Neel lit up. Exciting conversation and food! What could be better. She ate the rolls with her fingers, picking up each piece and eating it plain. She went too fast to observe any etiquette.

Meeqa lifted up Magali's chin with a gentle nudge. "No need to be sorry my dear. Its okay with me." She smiled, looking back at the Mistress, her arms crossed, waiting. She'd have to explain this to her another time. "You will find somewhere else to work for now. I'll help you. Besides, you're an artist!" She beamed, trying to remind her friend of how valued she was.

"Let's go somewhere else. Figure out our lives together, shall we?" For now, she guided Magali through the pulsing lights, loud music and certain slimy guests.
