P.O.W.ish gusto, a table for two

texture · 11 Nov YDAU (supper)

• When: 11 Nov YDAU, supper in the E.T.A. dining hall (1810h+).
• What: In the dining hall's group portrait of deadly-serious eating, Kornspan and Petropolis Kahn get the superlative: "Petropolis Kahn and Eliot Kornspan eat with such horrible P.O.W.ish gusto that nobody else will sit with them" — by themselves at a small table behind Schacht and Struck, "utensils glittering amid a kind of fine mist or spray." Even at an academy where supper is a refugee scene, the two of them constitute their own quarantine.
