"Where were you two?" Ashley ask with her hands behind her head, Theresa and Celine look at each other and share a grin, "hah?" Ashley ask tilting her head, she sighs, "Whatever, let's go, I'm hungry." She said walking to Zeolite who is cooking chickens, and a couple of fish that Hector and Ashley catch. "Whoa, seems delicious." Theresa said amazed, "Yea sure, but I think I cook more than enough for us…can you help with giving half to villagers?" Zeolite ask while flipping the fish. "Sure! Just call me when you're done!" Theresa nod.
Hector stares at Arkus who is sitting on the ground, eating a fish, and he seems so happy, Hector sigh and lay on the ground covering his eyes with his left hand. "Does something happened between you two?" Celine ask sitting down beside him, Hector lifts his left hand to see Celine for a bit then places it again on his head shielding his eyes from the sun, "I don't know…he seems to avoid me…did I do something wrong before?" Hector groans, "Why don't you recall, when did he start to avoid you?" Celine ask trying to help him.
"Well…it was on the sleeper cart. When I was awake, Arkus is staring down at me, since I can't hold my pee, I ignored him and rush to the toilet, didn't say a word…" Hector said, still don't have a clue, Celine thinks for a second, and raise her index finger, "I think I know, you accidentally ignore him because you want to go to the bathroom. Maybe that's why he's mad. Why don't you try to apologize? I'll help." She smiles offering him her help. Hector lifts his left hand from his face, quickly sit on his position and hold both of her hands, "Thank you very much! But I can do this on my own! Again, thank you very much!" He said with full ambition. "Your welcome!" Celine grins.
"It's ready. Here." Zeolite said handing Ashley and Theresa a plate of fish and chicken part. Ashley didn't waste a second and touch the chicken that just taken out from the grill. "Too hot!!!" Ashley shouts and quickly put her index finger in her mouth to cool off her index finger. "Idiot." Zeolite said pinching her ear. "Ow, ow, ow!" Ashley whine, still having her index finger inside her mouth. Theresa stares at the two smiling.
Hector approach Arkus who is eating fish with his eyes closed, enjoying the sensations, Hector rubs his neck in slight nervous, "umm…Arkus? I want to apologize…" He said as Arkus didn't even bother opening his eyes, Hector takes a deep breath, "I'm sorry for ignoring you back in the train, in truth I was holding back my pee, and rush to the toilet. Can you forgive me?" He said asking for forgiveness, but laughter is heard instead of forgiveness, "You what? Holding your pee? Pfft…" Arkus is laughing his ass off with Hector's confession. "Hahahaha! What kind of Master you are!" Arkus continue to laugh loudly holding his stomach, Hector just stares at him grinning, "mhm! That does happen!" He said laughing along with him.
The other who watch from distance smiles at their behavior, "I'm glad my shoulder won't be a stand again." Zeolite sigh eating on his own fish, "don't be like that Zeolite." Ashley snickered poking his cheek, "can you see I'm eating?" Zeolite ask a tick mark appear on his head, "Sorry, sorry." Ashley grins and eats her own food, "What did you say at them?" Theresa ask Celine, "just a couple of advice." Celine smiles.
"Oi! Hector! Come here!" Zeolite called, As the two stop joking around and immediately walk toward him, "here." Zeolite said handing him Hector his portion, "Thank you!" Hector grins, as Zeolite nod in reply, "your welcome. you already eat right?" He ask Arkus, "yep!" Arkus nod. "Good." Zeolite nod and return to eating his food.
"Hohoho, what a fest you guys have." Someone suddenly speaks, it turned out to be an old man, and Theresa seems to know him. "Gramps! It's nice to see you!" Theresa said standing up from her seat and greet him, "You've become so big Theresa, I remember holding you as a baby back then." Gramps smiles while patting her shoulders, "Hehehe, yeah, it was so long. How have you've been gramps?" Theresa ask, "Splendid, how about you, my dear grandchild?" Gramps ask, "great! I've been good these past years." Theresa smiles reassuring him.
"You seems to have friends, would you mind introduce them?" Gramps asks looking at Theresa's group of friends. "Sure!" Theresa nods and points at Zeolite, "I suppose you already know Ashley, since we visit here a couple times. This is Zeolite Celeste, Zeolite, this is my grandfather, you can call him gramps." Theresa said introducing him, as Zeolite bow in respect, Theresa point at Celine, "This is Celine Apocalypse! The newest member of our team!" Theresa said introducing her, Celine smiles and bows a little.
Theresa point at Hector who is having a fish inside his mouth, its tail still hanging out his mouth, "These two are Hector Shirogane and Arkus!...Hector…" Theresa stops talking and stares at him, Hector turns around and quickly eat the fish and pull out the fishbone. Hector turns around and keeps his hands behind him, he clears his throat, "It's a pleasure to meet you, gramps!" Hector grins, as Arkus poke his cheek with his paw.
"I'm sorry for his behavior! He's sometimes can be this questionable!" Theresa bows in apologies, gramps ignore her and walk toward Hector. 'Hope he's gonna be okay…' Celine thought concerns about him, 'He f*cked up!' Ashley thought widening her eyes so she can see the scene perfectly. As Zeolite stares at her, 'what the f*ck is she? An owl?' he thoughts at how wide her eyes are.
"Umm, what can I do?" Hector ask backing up each time gramps takes a step closer to him, "young man! Did you know your grandfather?" Gramps ask holding his shoulder that doesn't have Arkus standing on it. "Uhm…Kazuki Shirogane?..." Hector ask a hint of nervousness in his voice, "Yes! Would you mind following me? I had something to give you." Gramps said walking away. "Sure?" Hector said still confused, he followed him but didn't forget to throw the fishbone to a bin.
"Shall we?" Zeolite ask holding a couple of plates of leftover from their fest, don't worry, a fish and a part of chicken on one plate.
