"And I know it better than anyone else." Aron sighed, his hands on the horse's back and his head bowed as recalling the rather painful memory.

"I've never been into religion.", Martin said with a snicker. He wiped another tear.
"I'm hungry, what if we have a breakfast in the cafeteria?"

Sweetie gave Ebony's antenna a nibble and a lick. Her kids attempted to emulate her.
"You really have a way with them." Darcy remarked.
"Delfina, you want something to eat?" Lazaro called up.
"Why don't we head outside?" Doc asked Raine.
"Sure." Liska nodded. "I think it's just cold cereal again, but better than nothing."
The Fjord reached around with its head and nosed at Aron's pocket.

"Yeah... I think they like me," replied Ebony as she let Sweetie and her kids nibble and lick her antenna.
~~~~~
"I'm not hungry," Delfina called back down.

((What? He has something in his pocket after knocking on the black box?))
Aron pushed the Fjord's head away. "Nope, don't have any treats for you. But I can get some." He said, looking at the Fjord in his eyes like an affectionate owner. He went over to the feed packages, found the small reward pellets and grabbed a handful for the horse.

Raine sighed and got up from the ground before brushing herslf off, "...Yeah." She replied a little too quietly.

The Fjord's eager lips hunted for the reward pellets and found them in Aron's palm.
Doc accompanied Raine outside, where Denise was hanging out with her mate and child. Denise's mate, Jean-Louis, was a Dassault Super Entendard, and their youngest son had the characteristics of both breeds. The jet child came up to Raine and Doc, sniffing curiously.
Lazaro shrugged a little. This was going to take time for Delfina to get over.
"I think she's ready for some food." Darcy looked around. Someone had brought some hydroponically grown fodder for the goats, cut into grassy green sections and piled on a cart. She brought some of it over to the goats, which nibbled on it eagerly.
"I can't believe that this grass was just seed seven days ago." Darcy marvelled. The hydroponics people had shown her where they grew produce and fodder for humans and animals respectively. The memory of forty-foot high tomato vines was still staggering.

Delfina only drank from the bottle of water that she carried with her. She didn't move from her place high in the branches of the tree, though.
~~~~~
"Huh?" Ebony had a confused look on her face. She had never visited the grow chamber before, despite being here for more than a week.

Raine kneeled down to let the child sniff her hand, hoping that Doc wouldn't sense her depression if she tried to hide it.

Aron petted the Fjord as giving it the pellets. He then returned to get some food for himself. As he was heading to the kitchen, he looked up the tree Delfina was in. "You got to have something." Aron sighed.

"It's a really amazing place." Darcy made an expansive gesture with her wipers, attempting to describe the scale of the grow chambers. "They even have citrus trees in there. It smells like orange blossoms all the time."
Lazaro gave Aron a GOOD-LUCK-WITH-THAT glance as he passed.
Doc's eyes were on Raine as he noted little cues and signs that her mood wasn't as usual. He would have to wait until the child left them alone to bring it up. The little jet boy leaned into Raine's hand, intrigued by the novelty of the texture.

Delfina's mind was distant now, her eyes vacant as she stared off toward the horizon. She lay on the topmost branch and in a relaxed pose.
~~~~~
"I wish I could go check that place out," sighed Ebony, hearing the description of the grow chamber.

Raine tried to smile as the jet child nuzzled against her hand, It seemed that he could sense her sadness and wanted to comfort her. She wished Doc would nuzzle her like that, and fought back her tears, but she accidentally let a tear hit the ground. The sight of the family only reminded her of what she would never have.

Aron handed his dish to another waiting, then filled a sealable bowl with chili, and grabbed a spoon. He had experience with climbing trees. He had even been in top of one long time ago. And the trees here were no different from the others.
Aron put the bowl and spoon in a small backpack and climbed up the tree to Delfina.

<<< Gonna be slow, cooking something >>>
"Maybe we could go later." Darcy said.
Doc came up and leaned supportively towards Raine. "I'm right here."
