Brad and Verdi sat at there designated seats. "Well the food looks great" Brad said as he poured himself a glass of wine. He also poured a half glass of wine for Verdi. "Now this is all you get any more is not good for a kid your age" Brad said as he began to fill his plate.
Verdi laughed at what her brother said. Every night at dinner he said it. It was a reminder of home and they nights when her father a stout man of European decent would pour her a glass and her mother who was not from Europe would complain and tell her only one glass. She sighed heavily they had been missing for a year and times like these really reminded her that they were gone.
"Don't worry They may be gone but there memories live on through you" Skuld said in Verdi's head. Verdi nodded to herself holding back the tears. But all the while looking ever glummer as she made a plate of food.

Nathan looked over at the young girl, seeming thinking of his own past. He then looked over to Valen, nodded respectfully and replied, "I never really stopped to feel peace. In my life, I was always fighting. Peace never was something to have after war, not during it."
He then raised his bottle and tipped it into a glass. Water poured into the glass and Nathan smiled. "Now, though, I know I was wrong. To life and all it's benefits!" Nathan heartily bellowed.

While stuffing his hungry little face, Kris couldn't help but notice the sad disposition of Verdi. He decided to speak up for her sake. "Hey, what's wrong over there? I don't mean to intrude but today is a day to eat and be merry! Try and cheer up okay?"
Giving a smile and a thumbs up, he went back to eating without too much hesitation.

The door suddenly nearly busted off its hinges as Devon kicked it in. "Happy... uh, what do you call it again?" he said, turning back to the others following him as if what he had done to the door was completely normal.
"It's called Thanksgiving, dude." Will said with a chuckle as he walked in after Devon. "Don't sweat the damage, I'll fix it." he added cheerily. He was soon followed by a girl who seemed to be no more than sixteen years of age, with a stature that made her seem two years younger.
"Um, h-hello there," she said nervously. The girl stammered before, seemingly out of habit, saluting and shouting "Private Rose Evergreen! It is a pleasure and an honor to meet the Mobile Suit pilots who fight alongside my big brother!" When she finished she was just about ready to faint from embarrassment.
"Don't give 'em too much credit, Rose." Briar said, following his sister through the door. "We fight each other about as much as we fight the UE. Some more than others." he said before turning his attention to the other pilots. "Anyways, sorry we were late, you'd be surprised at the fact that two mobile suit pilots don't know how to drive a truck. Let alone avoid crashing it into anything." he finished with a glare at his two cohorts. Walking over to the table he put a bowl of stuffing on it. "We brought stuffing, hope that works for you guys."
"We only brought it because you never eat it..." Rose mumbled, before being given a sharp look by her brother.

Valen glared at Devon for interrupting the feast. "Private huh? Well i'm glad such a high ranking officer could show up." He teased, offering a salute. Glancing at Briar he added under his breath, "Although I don't know about fighting side by side..."
Victor rolled his eyes. Turning to Natalie he attempted to begin a conversation about new medicine and tech ideas he had come up with.

Briar gave Valen a glare as the pilot teased his sister. "Leave her alone Valen. It was either bring her here or leave her with a 'father' too busy managing combat simulations." He looked for his own designated seat, and found it- right next to Valen's. "Oh you have got to- if Elijah ends up sitting next to me I know this is a sick joke. Oi!" Briar called out as he spotted Devon literally grabbing foods off the other plates. "You have utensils idiot, use 'em!" He sighed before adding under his breath "At least he didn't take anyone else's food this time..."
Will just laughed at his friend's distress, casually taking his own seat before taking his own food. "Would anyone mind passing me a turkey leg?" he asked with surprising politeness. "And some of the stuffing too, if it wouldn't be too much trouble."
Rose was looking around, quite embarrassed and distressed. She was off to the side, looking for a seat but obviously too nervous to speak up and ask. She wasn't a pilot, so she was worried all the seats would be taken or already designated. But all she could do is just look at the table and the pilots around it, trying to find a spare seat.

Valen rolled his eyes and silently cursed Leon for this. Drawing his sword faster than the eye could see he jabbed a turkey leg with the tip of the blade and passed it over to Will. "The blade's clean." He chuckled. "There's a spot next to Marco." He called to Rose, pointing her towards the mercenary.

Verdi looked at everyone. And smiled "Lets have a toast" she said raising her wine glass instead of answering what was bothering her. "Lets make a toast to those we have lost, those who are missing, and those who are suffering under the oppression of our enemy. Lets toast their memories, their sacrifices, and their bravery.
And lets make a vow to those who have already gone we will continue this fight, we will protect those they left behind, and we will work to make the next thanksgiving one for the entire world to be thankful for." Verdi said with new resolve to end the war. And without even waiting for a response she downed the entire glass of wine before returning to eating.
Brad followed suit silently vowing to make a world where people like his sister wouldn't feel the need to fight so hard.

Amongst the chaos and mayhem of the long dinner table, Marco was clearly indulging himself in the food and drink. Already he had polished off quite a bit of food from the various plates, but the brawny male was quite sure that he had room for more. And when one of the newcomers took the seat on his left, the merc did the polite thing and piled the nervous girl's plate full of food, before adding a succinct comment about eating it all, to keep her energy up.
Reaching for the knife and fork, he expertly carved a generous portion of turkey for himself, before dousing the food item with a generous amount of gravy and other suitable condiments, thankful for the fact that his enhanced metabolism was a plus in situations like this.

Nathan pulled a massive amount of Mashed potatoes onto his plate and began to eat. He then poured about half a container of gravy, all the while smiling like a child. "This was the most I have ever eaten in my life," Nathan replied like a proud father, "and I will not waste it eating like church mice!" He laughed a deep laugh and started again to stuff himself.

Even if it wasn't the response he was hoping for, Verdi's actions spoke more than enough. Raising his glass in compliance he said "To a world we can protect" and downed his glass full.
This was about the time where he finally started eating. He piled up a plateful of food about a foot high and went to eating. Unlike some other people at the table, he wasn't eating nonstop but he did take rather large mouthfuls. "Whoa, this is great!"
