So its personal view on itself changes to fit the person viewing it since... it's an object.”
Caleb hummed to this response, sounding rather thoughtful. He didn't seem to completely agree with what Vier was saying, or at the very least, his eyes didn't deem to completely acknowledge her point... but at the same time, the rose-haired artist didn't object either. Instead, he simply finished up what coffee he had, clearly taking a moment to collect his thoughts and prepare what he was going to say.

A slightly dry smile appeared on Caleb's face.
"Well. That depends whether or not we view a person as an object or not. No? And I don't mean in the objectifying sense. More in a..." He searhed for the right words for a moment. "... Metaphysical sense, I suppose. As in, what is the difference between a person and a thing. Or is there any difference? Hell if I know. That's why it's easier to talk about object like a lighthouse."
He set his cup back onto the table.
"A non-functioning lighthouse may have a great view. But that doesn't make it a lighthouse. It would be a... tower, I suppose," he continued. "A simply change in cognition we have of it. Or something like that."
Still, even after saying all these things, the boy simply sighed and shrugged at the end.
"Ah well. It's not something to discuss during breakfast. Honestly... philosophy was never my thing," he admitted with a bit of a smirk. "In any case. I guess we should prepare. Classes are starting in just a moment."
Aleen, who had been listening to this all with a very confused expression finally perked up, and nodded.
"Oh, yeah, totes. I've got no idea what they're even gonna teach in this place, and I don't exactly wanna be late," the bluehead said, glancing towards Vier. "Wanna swing by the dorms to get our stuff? Or do you have your books already with you?"
Well, from the looks of it, this morning's peaceful moment was winding down. Soon enough, the classes would start...
... And another week at Pinefall High would truly begin.

The delinquent simply grunted in response as Anna left him to his own thoughts, returning to the table. From the looks of it some sort of deal had been struck, and whatever it was that Travis would need help with would serve as a payment for his "thuggish" skills. Though, on the other hand, considering what Anna had learned of the boy in the previous week, it could be that he had more skills to show off than just lockpicking and shoplifting.
Still, that would be something for later.
For now, Anna returned to the previous table she had left, where she saw that both Ramia and Gabi were packing up.
"Ah, there you are. Ready to head out?" Ramia asked, pointing her thumb at the door. "Gabi ain't got his books with him, so we're picking them up from the dorms and then heading to class."
After that, Ramia's eyes narrowed a bit as she glanced towards the entrance, where strange sort of ululating noise was growing stronger.
"... Plus, I think we should flee and quick. From the sounds of it, a moron-missile is about to hit the cafeteria."
Well, that sounded as good a reason as any to hit the road.
