When we arrived back home, he continued acting as if nothing happened.
So that's how he wants to play, huh.
Then so be it.
I also acted normally.
For the past week when I was stuck at home, during the first three days, my meals were brought to my room and so I ate there alone. But the following days after that, I became able to walk around and so I ate my meals in the dining room. Since I always woke up late and Lucas had university, we weren't able to eat breakfast and lunch together, but we do during dinner. We had small conversations at that time, and I think... well it's just what I think... we became friends.
In tonight's dinner, I arrived in the dining room first.
When Lucas arrived, I called out to him as I did before.
"Hey, brother!" I smiled.
"Un." He nodded coldly, as usual.
The servants then brought in food, and we started eating.
Just as I finished mine and he was just about to finish his, I struck up a conversation, like I did the past few nights.
