Cloud yawned as they walked into the dormitory. "One of these days, we should eat all eat in the dining hall."
"We should. It sounds interesting." Kreia mused. "Yes, it does." Calibri said. "Your majesty, four of you should bathe first. Flora, Siegon, Korra, and I will prepare the food and bath after you do."
Cloud looked at Alexei as he spoke and then he noticed Haochen was with them. "Oh, Haochen! Will you be dining with us?" He asked with bright eyes and an enthusiastic smile. Haochen returned it. "Yes, I am."
"Wonderful. Wait until you taste Alexei's food. He is one of our sect's best cooks."
"Oh, your majesty, stop." Alexei said bashfully. Haochen nodded, still smiling.
"Didn't you already take a shower this morning?" Cloud asked.
"Normally we bathe up to seven times a day. We have been bathing less. I can almost smell the filth on myself." Rion said.
Haochen blinked at that and subtly sniffed the air. He didn't smell anything.
