"And guilty I may be, but don't give up on me... We will still be thick as thieves."

(Okay!)
Anya sat at the table with the Veras. The morning had an interesting one, trying to convince Seth to catch up on the rest he had lost over the past couple of days. As learned from his "house arrest" back home, it wasn't possible to make him sleep. But they could at least help keep him from running himself into the ground hunting down answers. He would do that eventually, but for now, she had wanted him to take it easy.
She hadn't really been meaning to leave him at all. She was planning on sticking close by him in case he needed her. So when Cami came knocking and asked if she wanted to go eat lunch, she was on the fence. But Morgan, who had been with them all morning, had assured her that he'd be fine. Give them a chance for "guy talk" and what not. With him there, she figured Seth would be too busy catching up with his best friend to try and do anything else. So she agreed and was enjoying the meal, even with the noisy echoing of the mess hall all around them.

Seth tried, but he didn't appreciate the advice the healer gave him while she did her job. Yet it stuck in his head despite his best efforts to forget it. Which was why he didn't argue as much as he typically would have about staying in their room while Anya went to the mess hall with Cami. Morgan showed up and gave him a good reason to stay anyway.
Still, the mere idea that he had to stay hidden away made him want to do the opposite. He only agreed to stay for two reasons: because he didn't want to risk running into Nick, and because of Aidan. With Cami's help, the boy had found all of Seth's favorite foods and had it waiting for him in their room when Seth returned. It meant a lot, so even though Seth didn't really feel hungry, he sat down to eat with Aidan while Cami dragged Anya to the mess hall.
Seth ate his food in silence as Morgan engaged Aidan in animated conversation. It took only a few minutes for Aidan to relax and open up. Morgan had that affect on people. He was likable, plain and simple, and Aidan liked people, so they worked well together.

In the mess hall, Cami was just finishing her first plateful of food when she asked Anya, "So do you think he'll be okay? Seth, I mean. He seemed... I don't know, really down when he came back. Grumpy. Kinda like Callum."
Callum, sitting across from her, looked up from his food to give his sister a quelling look. She ignored it.
