OOC: Takes place before this thread.

"When was the last time you had food?"

Elarys stopped in her tracks in the middle of the meeting room that had been her home in the past days.

"I don't know," the young brunette replied in earnest. She had been immersed in the preparation of the Gelinera School's upcoming major conference. This event could bring vast improvements to the imperial education system; and she had been giving her everything to it, even at the detriment of her own health. It was a family trait so to speak...

Dedral stared at her and shook his head.

"Go get something to eat. We've all taken more breaks than you. We even remember to sleep at times. If you pass out before the conference, it would be counterproductive."

She bit back a retort, because she knew her own limits. Yet as low on the food chain, and hoping this project would bring her new opportunities, she kept her comment to herself and just nodded.

"I'll be back soon."

Assistant Dean Dedral tsked her.

"Take a couple of hours if you'd like. You've been pacing for a while."

Yes, it helped her be more creative and solve problems better.

The brunette fetched her jacket and put it on, complimenting the dark grey shirt and the black pants she was wearing. The conference would have her be more dolled up; but for hours stuck organizing an event, comfort was key. She slid her datapad in the zipped inner pocket and headed out.

When she hit the lobby of the building, she saw that it was already evening time. It didn't really matter given that Imperial Center was an ever-busy place., which also meant that finding food was an easy feat.

With a shrug, Elarys stepped onto the streets, debating whether to just walk or grab a taxi speeder.
