Pulling out a chair for Jahi, I made sure everything was right before taking a seat next to her. Waiting for her to start, I saw her frowning slightly, before turning and looking at me. Her usually jovial eyes were serious.
"Kat, you need to do your best. I... I want you to be my equal, not just my servant. So when the classes start up, please learn all you can. When you eventually awaken your core... if need be, I will teach you what I can, and if not, I will hound Mother to get you a proper tutor."
Smiling at her, I nodded. "YOU need to make sure you do your best, Jahi. After all, I might just overtake you~"
Hearing that, she smirked widely before pinching my cheek, making me pout. Turning towards her plate, she started eating. Watching her, I realized that my mother wasn't lying; the gusto Jahi showed while devouring the pancakes clearly displayed her love for the food. Smiling, I started to eat my share, offering her some when she finished her plate.
