"...and of course, while it may be a customary procedure in this particular culture, I find it particularly barbaric, and that is of course why I've continued funding programs to offer aid to women in the area who are currently threatened by it."
Adrian smiled pleasantly and took another bite of his couscous.

Megan stared, halfway bent over her plate, with her fork still halfway to her mouth.
"Dude. That's messed up."

Dan stared down at his plate, suddenly he wasn't very hungry. He probably shouldn't have ordered the calamari.

*Micaela nibbled on her couscous and was uncharacteristically silent.*

Adrien was leaning on one hand, elbow propped against the table, fork in other hand. Couscous, at least, was French. Um. Kind of. He supposed he could live with Adrian Veidt if Adrian would occasionally consent to serve something familiar to him. Not that he could currently live without Adrian Veidt.
Indeed, even not paying quite a lot of attention, mind wandering, he looked back at Adrian every so often to gaze intently upon him, mouth softened.

"Oh, yeah, it's great," Megan said awkwardly through a mouthful of food that had probably been there for a few minutes. She'd been too busy staring at Adrian to really eat properly.

Adrien was with Megan on that. He smiled shyly and nodded.

"W- we had to look at some pictures of people- women, mostly- who'd had acid thrown in their faces in the Middle East because of Shari'ah law," Megan supplied helpfully as she finally swallowed her food. "In my anatomy class a few years back. It was pretty gross."
She looked hopefully at Adrian.

"Ah, yes. I'm afraid the situation at hand is unfortunately rather delicate to make an abrupt intervention-

"Expect you'll be canonized within the century," said Adrien with a soft smile fixed on his face.

"I was gonna be a surgical nurse, y'know," Megan continued. "But I flunked out of the class because the final involved working on cadavers that were still on respirators, and I was so nervous that I cut wrong and her blood when splooooogh all over me, like this-"
She put her fork down and made spraying gestures at herself with one hand while cringing back.
"Real Sweeney Todd, y'know."

"Urggggh," said Adrien, replying without thinking, voice very, very soft. "I saw someone get shot once."

Dan's head spun up to see Megan finish her gesture "Oh god" he mumbled and looked down at his plate, he would have smashed his face in to the plate if he didn't want to mess up his vest. He looked up at Adrian for a moment and smirked looking more than uncomfortable.
