Setting: Cafeteria
Format: Anything
Summary: Preston's introduction plus playing with his food.
Warnings: None

Preston poked at the pierogi on his plate. In truth he didn't really know why he was even attempting to eat at the moment. He wasn't exactly very hungry right now and was to busy thinking too really enjoy any food that he may put in his mouth.

He continued to poke at the dumpling before cutting it in half with his fork.

His thoughts mainly focused around whether or not he would be able to find any of his friends around this so called "tower". In truth he wasn't even certain if was in a tower at all. And the only information that he had on the place was what he was able to gleam from the note he had been given.

Frowning, he picked up a pierog with his fork and pressed it against his lips before biting down on it.

Preston had originally put the blame on the Russians, or another, unknown force. And he had largely ignored the statement that his world had ended. It was something that he knew was most likely not possible. And had most likely been used to attempt to either distress him, explain why he was here or both. And while it had been distressing at first, Preston eventually calmed down enough to explore.

His jaw began to chew on the food in his mouth now. What he wouldn't give to be home or back in Eastern Europe right now. Of course he had to count himself lucky that he was able to keep some of his stuff from back home. He had never really thought of his BDU's, helmet or goggles to have ever really been a form of comfort until now.

Preston looked up after finishing chewing on his food. "Hey kid." He grunted before going back to poking his food. He wasn't really lonely per-say, although he was lost. Lost in thought anyway. Looking back up at the strange kid and letting his gray eyes flick over his form. "Did you need something kiddo?"

Link shakes his head. "Is it okay if I sit here?" He wants to make sure it's okay, because you never know. Besides, it is kind of random... and if this person wants to be left alone with his thoughts, he's okay with that, but he should make sure.

[deadliestberet]

There was a slight raise of his eyebrow at the question. "Of course ya can kid." He doesn't see anything wrong with something as simple as that.

[childhero]

Link sets down his plate -- covered in fruit and cold meats -- and settles into the seat across from him. ... What should he say? He isn't quite sure.

"What're you eating?" It's... worth a shot. Besides, he is curious, and it's something to talk about that isn't the cold tower around them.

Preston looked back up at link, the question wasn't all that strange. And if anything he supposed that it was to be a bit expected. "They're called Pierogi, kiddo." Looking down at what the little guy had on his plate, before grimacing just a tad. Wouldn't he rather have something that wasn't cold? Like an actual steak? The thought made his stomach growl some more. Picking up the other half of the dumpling before biting down on it.

[childhero]

"'Pierogi'..." Link nods. He hasn't ever heard of any kind of food like that before, but it isn't something that he's not used to.

After a moment, he says, "I'm Link." Maybe it's not the best transition in a conversation ever, and it's a little awkward, but Link can't figure out what else to say.

"Hm? Oh, Private Preston Marlowe. Nice to meet ya kid." His name was Link? Whatever, he's heard stranger before. And had even found himself in a rather strange place. He quickly swallowed the dumpling and went for another one.
