Cynoc sat quietly nibbling on a piece of bacon. He was in a slightly less depressed mood then normal, as he usually was in the mornings. People usually never had negative emotions in the mornings, at least the majority of them as he had observed. That went double for Saturdays, because there were no classes or anything to deal with for the day, so people were carefree and happy if anything. It was one of the few times he was almost happy to let his power go. He still chose to come down to breakfast early, and he usually always sat at the end of the table closest to the food line he frequented. His slow and rather tedious method of eating tended to annoy people, and when annoyance was directed at him it was even more unpleasant. Sometimes he didn't like that as much as he didn't like people feeling angry.

He glanced hesitantly around the room. He recognized the few people that were down here with him. They, like him, usually frequented breakfast early, before everyone came around. Even though this was a school for people with powers, some still had trouble being friendly with everyone and making friends. Cynoc wasn't an exception to that, more like a punctuation. His eyes settled on Rayne, a pretty girl who he thought was his age, and that he saw quite often. He had a few classes with her, and saw her around on a regular basis. Her power was... taking other people's powers. She often felt lonely, but Cynoc was kind of scared to approach her and offer friendship. If she touched him, she might feel what emotions came from him, and he wasn't to keen on that. Part of sticking to himself and quietly observing everybody was learning all kinds of information about everyone in the school. He had eventually decided to chronicle his knowledge, and had a pretty decent collection going on a notebook in his room, and a shorthand version he carried with him.

He finished his nibbling and turned in his dishes. He made sure to return to his spot and make sure he left it clean before trudging out of the room towards the library. That was his favorite place to frequent in his free time, as the few people that actually went in there usually only had concentration on their minds, and sometimes impatience, but it was another place he didn't have to hide his power in. Plus, he kind of enjoyed the quiet.
