Alina offered Ame a smile. "'Morning? You've been in your room a little too long. It's noon now," she said with a short laugh. She pushed a plate to the side in her direction. "Would you like some lunch?" she offered. She wasn't the best of cooks, but she knew she wasn't half bad either. After having to fend for yourself and your younger brother for so long, you tend to learn some things about cooking a good meal. Of course, sandwiches shouldn't be considered a 'well-cooked meal,' but it was lunch, not dinner, and food was food.

"Have you seen the others?" she asked after a moment of silence. "I think Kata went out earlier." She inwardly frowned. Going out when it wasn't a school day was never the best of ideas when they were who they were. Alina worried some for Kata's condition. She hated this as much as the rest of them, but she supposed the girls' and boys' company was better for lifting her spirits than her brooding father's.
