Ryuko slowly backs away from the situation, lifting her plate and moving away from the offending madness.

[spümpkin]

Kumo looks up from stuffing her face full of food, having a seemingly endless plate in front of her.

"Wow. Great goin', guys. Real team spirit."

[Sutoratosu Akira]

Leonidas simply sits, silent and unmoving as the argument plays out further down the table. His plate is empty, his goblet as well- whether he'd even bothered to sample anything was a mystery. Nor does he really seem interested, from how his fingers were bridged before him pensively. He could not help but notice as the girl at the center of the pointless scrutiny got up and began to retreat however- nor could he blame her.
    "You're welcome to sit over here, if you'd like." He called to Ryuko, voice a deep and graveled rumble. An still-empty seat stood nearby.

Ryuko gazes over at him, looking for all the world like a gazelle trapped in the headlights. She manages to hold on to her plate regardless.
"A-are you sure?" Her voice, in comparison, is rather high and small, very little gravitas within.
Oh, one of those types. Strong, silent, all badass and looking all high and mighty. As if we needed more of those. Hey, at least he's kinda hot; and he won't ask any stupid questions. Not like that Florida guy, though. That one's a looker!
Would you quit that, please?
Sorry, not in our deal~ Should've specified if you wanted me to pipe shut while you keep me all cooped up.

"I've already explained multiple times why the eating concerns me; by itself it is a relatively innocuous factor, but when combined with the abject refusal to provide any information whatsoever about combat ability - which I have asked about in an effort to ensure that we can at least begin to prepare for combat - raises massive red flags." He returns Kumo's glare. "I believe I've already stated this as well: camaraderie is a thing that I, personally, am willing to sacrifice if it means I can be certain of those around me."

[Sutoratosu Akira]

"Doesn't seem that anyone else is interested in taking it." The Dragoneer answered, "So I don't see why not. Besides, I don't think those three down there are going to come to a stalemate in their pointless debate anytime soon." He nodded to the still ongoing dialogue from the one who had instigated the matter to begin with, as he spoke "Let them argue. That one right there can't pry you anymore if he's too distracted."
     In all honesty though, the argument at the other end of the table reminded all too much of the nobility from his realm. Bickering and Scrutinizing, just two things the Warlords of Ocrea did best when they weren't wasting countless lives trying to conquer each other. Or begging for help whenever a Dragon dropped out of the sky and started reducing their entire world to ash and cinder.

Ryuko meekly takes the seat, uttering a quiet "Thank you" to Leonidas and continuing to eat her food in peace. She however seems to be eating it rather quickly, going through the pile of meats like a hot knife through butter. She doesn't show it aside from that, but she does seem rather grateful for the opportunity to keep whatever she's hiding secret for a little longer.
Ophelia closes her eyes as she takes another bite.
"Sometimes camaraderie will bring knowledge of its own. There are just things people ought not to know, and this, I feel, is one of them. Perhaps she'll tell us when she's ready to open up, and perhaps she will be ready when she feels comfortable with those around her."

Sera rubs her forehead as the arguing is giving her a pounding headache. Why couldn't the doctor turn headaches off or something when he was fixing her. She decides to interject. "Look at it this way. You do have a point, we need to know what people can do. I'm not going to say that's wrong because it's not. Thing is, you can't just go and ask someone you just met to say all their secrets. It'll come up before any battles anyway, more likely than not, and all that does is make people not want to work with you, which in a situation like this, is the opposite of what you want."

[Chevaleresse]

"I'm not exactly asking for her entire life story complete with annotations and video footage. I want to know what I'm going to be dealing with when the fighting starts - and why it's so important that I don't find out."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Perhaps it is because whatever it is she's hiding, it's far more than just combat ability. Or perhaps it has nothing to do with it and you are overreacting."

[Chevaleresse]

"Very well then. I've given my opinions; clearly pressing the issue further will accomplish nothing. I simply hope that my suspicions are unfounded." With that, he reached up toward his head, fiddling with something on his headphones for a moment. Then, he started after his plate again; he hadn't taken all that much so that he could comfortably finish his plate.

[Yottawhat]

"The present information is conflicting, how would additional information on the subject of Ryuko lead to it becoming less efficient?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"I don't take your meaning."

[Sl4cker]

"The thing's askin' why Ryookoh," Angelo stops for a moment, as if considering whether he was pronouncing the girl's name right (He wasn't). "Would be uncooperative if we kept nagging her about shit." He leans back a little, seemingly finished with the meal. "The answer's 'human emotion', by the way."

[Chevaleresse]

Nobunaga takes a few more bites before readjusting his headphones a bit and shifting in his seat to face Sera. "So, Cromwell was it? If you don't mind the question, how did you come to possess your cybernetic enhancements? They don't look like a design I've seen, but then that's not exactly unexpected."
