Dining Hallow
This is the main gathering place for ponies to grab a bite to eat together. Breakfast and lunches are pre-portioned rations, but dinners and special celebration banquettes are freshly cooked by camp Chefs with larger portions based on the season and the camp's supplies.
The center has rows of long hoof-crafted, wooden tables while cooking fire pits and stone ovens have been crafted off to the south walls of the hallow for camp chefs to prepare food.

[Enter from Luna's chambers]
Archimedes scratched his tail and grabbed a bowl of raw oats. He didn't hate the stuff, but he really missed pudding and gems...
He walked over to his usual spot he had claimed in the cavern and sat down to eat on the floor at the far end of one of the benches.
He silently munched away. He never liked initiating conversation, instead preferring the solitude of his own thoughts.

[Enter Pumpkin Vine]
Waking up along her normal early morning routine, the muscular and mane tied pegasus had gotten in line for food. Accepting the pre portioned meal according to routine, her steps were indeed awake with the strength needed for the day. Burnt orange pupils searched from table to table for a seat that wasn't crowded with many individuals. Placing her plot down on the opposite side of the dragon yet far away to retain peace, Pumpkin Vine went towards enjoying her meal.
Taking small bites to allow her stomach time to digest the collection of hay and nuts in a bowl, hints of sweet flavors were a lovely surprise. Chewing to herself, the day's training exercises were clear as she mentally prepared. These ponies were no longer newbies and required proper heavier training. With this in mind, the mare took a sip of her water before placing it down and leaning on her left hoof for head support. Mentally talking to herself, her eyes never seemed to look at him nor anyone in the room.

As the dragon ate, two mare mothers behind the orange beast quickly gathered their foals and herded them away in hushed voices. The foals cried out in annoyance and one even tried to touch Archimedes' tail before being scooped away and was removed from the dining hollow.
A group of earth ponies walked by, talking among themselves at first, but as they strolled past Archie one called out. "Hey Archie! Hope you thought more about what we talked about! See you soon..." The stallion winked and continued on, other members of the group grinned rather deviantly to Archie before following the others out. It was the same group that had previously approached the dragon about weaponizing his fire breathing abilities and to consider their position on becoming involved in the war. The group was quite pushy about their "offer"... and had become rather pesky and slightly aggressive about their constant pressure to side with them.
Other ponies in the room seemed to have no problem with the dragon eating at their sides, and continued on with their meals without interruption save the few who knew him personally and nodded to him good naturedly, respecting his wishes for his normal solitude during meals.
Pumpkin Vine even had a few ponies enter the room and wave to her as they headed out to begin their primary duties.

Archimedes silently acknowledged Amazon's presence mid gulp. He felt a professional respect for her, but always managed to keep his distance. He was about to ask what training she had in store for the day to see if he should switch with somepony else before he was interrupted by the foals drawing his attention. He locked eyes with one of the mothers and noticed her ire before scooping another bite. He'd just endure whatever it was.
Then he heard a familiar salesman voice and cringed. He had heard the pitch, repeatedly. It annoyed him. So much so that when he saw the wink, it was over.
He got up, standing a half a pony higher than any pony there. "I am no weapon. If I so choose to aid this villiage it will be by my volition."
He walked closer. "You and your associates have bothered me continuously. Stop it." He said with finality. For a long silence, he looked him in the eyes. Unblinking. Smoldering fury pulsed like a steady heartbeat from a dream within the pools of his eyes.
After a tense moment, he returned to his seat without anot her word. He sighed and, grinning, said to Amazon, "So. Are you teaching that same crock again today, or you finally upped the challenge?"

The earth pony that had spoke to Achie before had grit his teeth during the dragon's burst. By the end of it, his friends were pulling him away, muttering to him about how he wasn't worth it. The pompous Earth pony waved a hoof in dismissal as he turned to walk away with his friends. "....traitor to the princesses..." The earth pony muttered in anger as him and his friends exited the dinning hall.

Continuously eating her meal, Pumpkin offered mindless waves to those of her students and fellow members of this camp. Continuing to mind her own business through the interesting discussion being done around her, Pumpkin Vine had begun to rub her temples with annoyance. Too early in the morning for this, the tan and slightly orange mixed mare had glanced up at the dragon without breaking her stoned faced expression.
"Fifteen minutes. Perhaps I can show you verbal self control as well." Standing up and sliding her trash into the designated area, Pumpkin begun to walk out. Knowing he had heart filled intentions and a hurt system of probable broken dreams like the rest of them, the pegasus kept this in mind before turning back to offer him a low smile.

Archimedes looked down at his bowl and scoffed. He drained it in one gulp and rose to leave, tossing it with the other dishes as he followed Amazon out of the hall.
He nodded acknowledgment to those he knew he hadn't greeted this morning and still held a small amount of respect for. He thought about that idle comment the pony made. If he knew his history right, that didn't bode well...

<Enter Deut from Luna's Chambers>
The cream-coated Unicorn ambled in, looking pale. Not bothering to grab anything to eat, he merely slumped down in a free chair and hoped that he could find someone to talk to this morning...

Noticing the light colored stallion not choose to eat, a small yet kind hearted mare had collected his pre-portioned meal for recovery. Bringing it to his seat and sitting down next to him, bright pink eyes were the first things Deu could see as the friendly mare pushed food towards him. "Please, you must eat to sustain your energy for the day." The violent coated unicorn had been apart of the medical team, just getting up to start her day when she noticed the stallion slumping to his seat. With a dark purple and pink streaked short mane to her head, the soft voice was assuring that her age was most certainly a teenager at most. "I hope I'm not interrupting you if you wish to be alone sir.."

The Unicorn sighed, ignoring the food. He appreciated the kindhearted mare's generosity but... "I'm not hungry..." was all he managed to say in reply. He put his head down on the table, groaning as his head continued throbbing. He didn't notice it yet, but he was also getting quite hot...

Saddened by his weakened state, the violent colored mare turned to look at the left over ponies around the room. Moving her hoof to the unicorns head or what she could feel of his from the table, the unicorn had rose from her bench in a hurry. "Please sir, you must come with me. I believe you have a fever! We must get you to the medical cave right away!"
Upon hearing her speech, a few older members from the late breakfast group had came by to check up on what was happening. Spotting the pale stallion, a stallion spoke up with a voice filled with concern yet authority. "Deuterium. To the Medical Grotto. Lets go."

Deuterium groggily rose to his hooves again, moaning. "Surely it's not that bad..." He mumbled as he wobbled around slightly on his weak legs.

The mare felt concerned as she offered a small nod to his hesitation. Too short to help him stabd, the stallion that had called his name had no trouble what so ever. Letting the light colored unicorn lean onto him for easier movement, the stallion begun to walk him to the medical grotto.
