Tails looked at him, unsure if he was being serious or not. Surely he knew what lunch was? Oh well, he thought, can't be helped. He simply smiles, as he listens to what Link had to say. "Erm..." he says after hearing about his pocket soup, which surely couldn't be good for you, "there is a place to get food inside, so maybe we'll just eat there?" Tails wasn't looking forward to the idea of eating a stranger's soup he carries in a pouch, especially soup that appears to have been left for a while, so a nice fresh sandwich sounded pretty good.

Link closed his pocket and realized he probably messed up. He grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "Alright that sounds good, too." He didn't really know where this place was. He's only been here for a few days and spent all of that time exploring the outside of the world. He didn't even stop to sleep. "I don't really know where that is though, so I guess you'll be leading the way." He looked up at John. "Will you be coming with us, too?"

While John had already eaten, he decided that keeping his calories high would be the best way to keep in shape with his new life style. "I will." After taking a moment to re-adjust his cuffs, John kept a leisurely pace behind the two students, somewhat keen to further his bonds while he spent his time on Beta.

Tails nodded at the pair. "Well, OK. Let us go, then? We want to be quick before all the good stuff gets eaten." He says, as he walks over to the bench/temporary worktable. Within a few moments, all of his various tools had been placed back into their respective slots in the strap across his chest, but when it came to the yellow metal orb he was working on he simply presses a finger against his gloved wrist, which seems to make the orb vanish in a flash of light. With that, he starts heading over to the canteen to finally get something to eat.

"Great! I guess we'll be following Tails then." Link followed close behind Tails, but in front of John. His curiousity was piqued when Tails had stopped at the nearby bench. Peeking over his shoulder, he saw the odd items that Tails had started to put away. He'd have to ask Tails about them "over lunch". Especially that yellow orb thing. Sure he's seen things do what it did, but it was from a whole different world, so there could be so much more to it. Right now, all Libk did was stare awe, but it wasn't long before they were moving again. Eventually they did make it to the room that had a sign labeling it as "Cafeteria". So many smells hit him at once, all unique to the ones at home. "Wow, this place is bigger than any house I've ever seen, and it smells amazing." Link would have run off to explore it, but he would have left behind Tails and John. "What kinds of foods can we eat here? I still can't believe how big this place is!" Link was getting a bit loud, so heads began to turn toward their direction.

"With all the demands from the students, virtually every dish conceivable is served here. Might taste a little different, but it's about as close to Earth food as you can get." John stepped up to the counter, helping himself to a few caviar and crème fraîche tartlets. "Though it is a little disappointing that table etiquette is not enforced here." He gave a distasteful look to the staring students, some even ate without using cutlery. Shameful. Wick shook his head.

"Earth, you say? Is that the name of your planet?" Tails' says, looking towards John, as he grabs himself a portion of rabbit dinner - he never felt right eating rabbit in his own world, with one of his friends being a rabbit person themselves, but he always loved it - his favourite meat, in fact. He was very hungry after the work he's done, so decided a large dinner would be best - he was lean enough to get away with the extra calories, anyways. As he moves to sit down, he looks around at the other students with 'bad table etiquette' - eh, wasn't that bad. Tails knew people with worse manners.

"Oh... Yes, it is." John forgot that not all his colleagues and students hailed from the same planet. "May I ask what planet you come from?" He took a seat, rather intrigued to learn about life on other planets that he never really had time in his career to even consider. "And you?" His gaze slid to Link. "I'm quite curious about a planet where people cut down grass with swords just because they can."

Link, his attention directed fully towards John, listened intently about the whole situation with the foods. "Then there must be an unimaginable amount of types of food here." He had no idea what Earth was, but judging by the way he had said it, it might have been a type of food. Link followed their lead in going to the counter for food, but he had no idea what he should eat, mostly because he's never seen any of it before. Eventually he decided on a meal labeled "Chicken Thighs". He was also given two silver tools, one resembling a pitchfork and the other, a sword. Link was at the table soon enough, and through listening to the start of the conversation, he learned that Earth was where John came from, and wasn't a type of food. He was also asked what planet he had come from. "We don't really have a name for, but some call it the Light World, since we also have the Twilight Realm." He picked up both weird silver tools, one held awkwardly in each hand. "Hmm, how do you use these strange weapons? I've never seen these before." Thinking back, he realized he had seen the sword tool before in Snowpeak Mountains. He didn't really figure out what it was though.

"Weapons?" Mr Wick looked down at the cutlery in Link's hands. "Why yes, I suppose you haven't. These are not weapons, but tools - extensions of the hand to aid in consumption of food." John demonstrated, quartering a tartlet on his plate before popping a piece into his mouth. "See?" He said, once he had finished. "Then again, some assassin's I've met sharpen cutlery and coat them in poison - then invite a victim to dinner. You can never be too careful."

As Tails ate his own meal, somewhat savagely because he was starving, he got to thinking about Wick's question. "Well," he says between mouthfuls, "my planet is called Mobius. It's fairly normal from what I've heard from different people. Multiple continents, each with their own climates, a single moon-" As he continues, however, he decides to stop himself. "Well, half a single moon. The Eclipse Cannon blew up the other half." He continues reminiscing as he tears into the rabbit on his dish.
