It was rare for Celestria to skip classes and escape school like this....or, to be honest, this was the first time when she was breaking the rules and going out like this.
What took over her principles that she, a diligent and mannered student like her, suggested to break the rules and go out there to eat something? Probably, it was her desperation to be with Alex.
When she realized the story was over and Alex would return, she couldn't think of anything and she ended up proposing something based on a warrior's choice. Every warrior around her, Valarie, Shelby, Edric...each one of them loves meat.
In the past Celestria might have suggested reading books in the library as an excuse to spend more time with him. But his new self changed her opinion.
