Those robots are going to be happy to accept the request, cart off the menu and probably return with something that qualified as an appetizer while the rest cooks. And a drink if that was asked for. More food will follow.

Gaia nods once. She knows that was likely the case. It doesn't entirely help but... right.

"When Angeal said you'd moved in with Glenn and he had lost track I thought... that couldn't be right."

The last she'd known, he was heading home to the place he'd lived in since his 'elder brother' had invited him to stay with the gang. And it wouldn't have been too much to think if that was the case he hadn't gotten a chance to reach out to her again before disappearing from Kamurkia entirely.

Except... She wouldn't have thought he'd have moved in with Glenn willingly either. Unless something was happening that made Sephiroth weigh the option between staying and troubling his family further and moving out and being discomforted by...

Gaia takes a deep breath. She'd half paid attention to the teen's thoughts on Kellen and Earenk and those seemed a fair assessment on why they're not here alongside the souls they'd bonded to. It's bittersweet, but they don't deserve to be pulled from their world any more than Gaia or Sephiroth did.

This is a real place.

"You're probably right," though the smile Gaia offers is wan, it feels genuine and like she's pulling herself together. It's not filled with people because she's forgotten them or anything like that. And with that last she chuckles. If she's fumbling for his hand a minute to give it a squeeze, that's fine right?

"I was worried too you know!"

Same.

"And besides, it's real enough that I get hungry." With more than something appetizerish still on the way for Sephiroth, Gaia is going to put the ball in his court.

"What's it been like here so far?" And reach for her sandwich wrap.
