“Hello, valued student. What kind of lunch would you like? Any preferences or do you have a usua-wait you're not a mage.” Says Betty as she lets out a breath.
“I am not bu-”
“You should go before the next mage batch comes in to start another fight. At least no one was hurt this time.”
“I have some questions to ask you.”
“That is not important as I have to get these cakes down before the next shift.”
“Tch, by Order of Virgil I require you to speak to me privately.”
“Why would he need me to speak with you? Wait, why does the leader know my name?”
“I can explain that or we can both stay here and get in each other’s way until the next mage comes. So what do you say?”
“Fine, Jessie cover me. I am on break. You follow me to the freezer.” States Betty as she points at another coworker as she deflates on the counter as both students hide in the back.
“So a student and a cook? Bit of an overachiever?”
“I am not doing any of the exams or homework if that is what you are implying.”
“But why cook in the middle of a cafeteria?”
“The leftovers are great and the company is nice. So why did Virgil require me to speak with you? Last I heard I didn’t break any of the taboos.” States Betty as she crosses her arms.
“Well we are just doing a check in with those who are driven.”
“I have been a cook for months. Why are you checking in now?”
“Tell me Betty do you wish you could do more?”
“What do you mean?” Asks Betty keeping her tone neutral as she inspects William.
