It was about 7:30 p.m. when Gagan left Grandfather Carl's room.
He felt pretty much better than how he felt while going into the room.
Gagan was feeling rather hungry, he hadn't eaten since he went to the gym.
When he went to the dining hall, he was surprised to find that Swara was helping in putting the food on the table, meaning that the second time in the day, she was the one who made the food.
He sat at the table and saw that she had made a meatball and garlic bread traybake for 10 people.
"This is one of the recipes you call a piece of cake." He said to Swara who was serving him the food.
"Yes, I know so?" Swara was distracted from Milian, who being on autopilot, started putting out the food for both of the humans he could sense.
Swara looked at her and stopped him by saying, "Standby.", which promptly stopped him from adding food to the second plate, and he went back to the side of the door.
"So, that means that it took you half an hour just to think of what you are going to make and that you first wanted to make something else, little sis." He said, pinching her nose slightly before going back to eating. She sat right next to her seeing that no one else was coming.
"Aah! You know me well eh, brother? Eat up till you fill your tummy. It's all for you. Say ahhh..." She said, holding a spoon to feed him.
"Ahhh... Mmm. Oishiiiii." Gagan said while acting like a complete kid and making himself sound like a child.
She tapped his head playfully with her fist, "Either learn it properly or don't talk in Japanese."
He held his head, acting like the little hands hurt, "Awww, but you do the same for Chinese."
"I try to use it in daily conversations, besides I've learnt it a lot now, unlike the slowpoke sitting next to me."
Gagan looked at the seat left of Swara, thought for a moment and then realisation hit him, "HEY!!! I'm not a slowpoke. Uriel is the slowpoke."
"She's slow because you're slow. I guess it's true that a boy can either be strong or be intelligent." She affirmed without even looking up from her food. She had eaten about all of the little food she had put on her plate.
Gagan folded his hands and nodded, "Wise words, must have been said by a strong boy."
"Why does it look like the idiot said something good?" They heard a voice that they knew all too well who it belonged to.
A tall beautiful girl entered the dining hall from the direction of the entrance of the mansion, along with her was another girl waving her right hand at them while holding Himu arm with her left one.
"Alma! Phyllis! How are you both? Himu bro, you didn't pester her too much, did you?" Swara welcomed them by hugging them both happily.
While Phyllis giggled like a little child, Himu was flabbergasted, Swara was well aware of his situation, yet she would always take her bestfriend's side, he found it rather unfair.
Alma went to the dining table, where Gagan had just stood up after finishing his meal.
"Yo! Big head! Eat like that and I'm sure you'll get fat in a months' time." She laughed.
He looked at his body, he thought that maybe he was getting fat, then he offered her, "You wanna eat some too? It's tasty."
"Idiot." was all she said, before walking off to Swara's room.
It wasn't the first time Phyllis had brought her along for her sleepover. She had done it a lot of times, so two king sized beds were already joined together instead of letting the one already in the room be as it was.

Author's Note: I'm not sure if it is actually that unfair with Himu.
