Lucian stares intently at the large lunch box in my hands for a second before his eyes flick up to mine. "Is it noodles?"
"Oh, yeah! Ah, yes... let's eat!" I stammer out, quickly walking past him to break the sudden tension. I march right into the dead center of the massive, empty floor of the cylindrical room and flop straight down onto the stone ground, crossing my legs.
Lucian calmly walks over, stopping right in front of me and looking down at me with an unreadable expression.
"Hm? What? Sit down!" I say, patting the cold stone floor.
"Why are you sitting on the ground?" he asks, his deep voice echoing slightly.
"Do you see anything else to sit on here?" I fire back, already popping the latches to open the heavy lunch box.
