Amelie stared at the offerings of food, chewing her lip as she weighed the choices. She'd been one of the lucky few not to suffer any effects, but she'd been one of the majority who hadn't had a proper meal in... well, too long. "It's foolishness to merely starve out of fear," she murmured, though was unsure of whether she was trying to motivate herself or those around her.

Trying to put on a brave face despite her shaken faith in others, she began to eat. Luckily, everything seemed to taste fine, and she offered a tentative thumbs-up to anyone who might have been watching her.
