Chapter 107 - suspect? and breakfast

"she sure made it difficult to focus. I wonder if all girls wear such things as night clothing like that." he thought while closing the door and stripping to his underwear flopping on the bed.

In a few hours he was back up taking a shower and getting dressed. He had gotten two more forms of clothing from old man butcher. It was the same pieces he had on while In his deep sleeping state but just a different color.

What he wore now was a linen uniform with long sleeves. It was black with gold patterns. The gold patterns of shapes. One was a circle, triangle and what looked a stick or straight line.

They could be seen on the end of his sleeves around his wrists. The same pattern and shapes were on his upper back but much larger.

On the right side of his chest was a symbol of gold praying hands. The symbol of old man's butcher guild in the past.

The pants were all black with a gold trim. It was a very comfortable outfit. He attached his dagger holster to him as well but not before looking at the blue line that represented how many souls he had.

"I should really make it a priority to kill more beasts and fill this blade up. I can use it to strengthen my soul core which will unlock another soul chamber allowing me to tame a wild beast." He thought.

He soon left his room meeting the others on the first floor. They were eating breakfast when he walked up and took a seat next to them.

A waiter came pushing a long cart with multiple dishes on them. It had a light glowing red orb underneath the cart that had been mounted. The orb slowly pushed out heat keeping the items on top warm.

The waiter politely offered Damon some food as it was free and part of their stay. He declined all of the items and asked for some fruit instead.

The waiter came back with another cart that had many types of fruits that were cut nicely.

Many of the fruits he hadn't tried before so he took a large bowl and went to work grabbing many different kinds.

They all conversed while eating. Vora had begun going over their travels and where they were headed next.

She explained more details of the actual mission in which they all agreed sounded interesting.

Damon was chewing on a interesting and great tasting fruit that gradually changed colors as each layer of flesh was being eaten.

It was around the size of a full pineapple and out of all the fruits it was the biggest chunk.

The first layer was red while the second was green. The red flesh had a sweet and a little sour taste while the green was mostly sour and a little sweet.

The texture was like eating a watermelon mixed with a pineapple but the sweet to sour and from more sour to sweet taste mixed surprisingly well.

He chewed down further getting to another color flesh of the fruit which was orange.

This part was bursting with a good amount of sweetness. It turned yellow, then blue which was a cool icy sweet flavor.

After biting into it Damons breath became so cool it was like eating winter as he could see his breath in front of him as if the temperature dropped all around him.

Damon immediately decided the blue flesh which was almost the center of the fruit tasted the best until he actually reached the center which was a clear and somewhat milky color like the flesh of a coconut.

Within it a small seed could be seen. He had ate only one side of the fruit going deeper to taste all the flavors and could see the multi colored fruit clearly.

Biting into the last color which was clear looking all of the flavors of each layer of fruit flesh seemed like it was in his mouth at once along with a mystery flavor that had just a hint of spice.

When tasting the hint of spice he thought none of it would blend together but he was wrong.

The very small hint of spice added a kick to it and the effects of eating the blue part were the same besides now his breath was a mixture of a little heat and a lot of cold.

Steam started rolling out his mouth and nose Everytime he exhaled.

Everyone burst out with laughter as it started coming out his ears as well.

"You took blowing off some steam to a new level." Hahahaha blane said while laughing.

"That's insane. Yo let me try that, me too. I think I'll have one as well. Within a minute the entire squad was eating their own except vora after informing the waitress.

They all spoke highly of the flavors and how good it was while steam also came out each time they talked as well. Damon didn't think about it at first but decided to use oversee on the fruit.

[Iridian vapor fruit.]

[A multi colored and layered fruit believed to be created by the gods themselves. It's a seasonal fruit that only grows between places that are tropical and cold. This fruit will only grow at the precis climate of natural destruction.]

Damon looked oddly at the last line of information which puzzled him. He was just about to ask if anyone had ever heard of the fruit before when they all overheard a group of people chatting at the table nearby.

"Did you all hear about someone being killed earlier this morning. Apparently their was a fight four blocks away.

Yes I heard about that. I think they said the fight took place on a few roof tops as many of them were damaged." One boy said to another.

Damons ears perked up hearing this and his eyes darted around for a second before he looked back down at the last piece of iridian fruit stuffing it in his mouth trying to look uninterested in the conversation.

"Oh I forgot to mention that as well. I heard the same thing earlier." Kimbo said to everyone.

He also explained how the body of the dead person was as that was something he found out as well.

"They say he had holes throughout his body like a laser shot through him or something. Some people knew him and said he was a real scumbag.

" well,maybe he deserved to die." Glee added responding to kimbo.

Damon expected Vora to give him a look as soon as it all came up but she didn't look his way at all which made him think she really didn't care or she just wasn't going to tell everyone that he was the one fighting earlier.

She knew he didn't kill the man as Damon had told her everything that happened.

Kimbo,Tara,blane,glee and garren continued to talk and eat. Damon leaned back in his seat as he felt a pair of eyes on him.

He looked from the corners of his eyes both ways and saw nothing out the ordinary but when he scanned in front of him. A pale girl with bright red hair and eyes was looking straight at him.

Damon controlled his body language just in time because suddenly seeing her and the way she was looking had really caught him of guard a little because it was someone in front of him.

He thought about to the final moments of the fight and his hooded mask flying back.

"Did she see my face clearly. Does she know it was me." He wondered to himself while giving her a slight nod.

"Is that the boy from last night. I only saw a little of his face for a few seconds and it was dark. He wasn't wearing such an attire as well but then again he could have simply changed clothing.

I'm sure of one thing though he had dreadlocks." She thought breaking eye contact with Damon.

Their were multiple squads that belonged to other guilds but the purple puppets were at a large and long table with ten squad members.

Damon looked down the table until his eyes laid on a pale bright spiky red haired boy that looked identical to the girl.

He had a distasteful and mug look on his face as he ate grabbing meats by the handful and throwing it in his mouth.

Damon could tell he was pissed and had a pretty good idea why as he watched him talk smack to a few other members in his squadron.

"It seems they don't recognize me. At least not him anyway. I think the girl suspects me but I can tell she's not completely sure." He thought.

He thought of this because what other reason did she have to stare at him so hard that her energy leaked out and notified him.

Vora stood up after finishing her meal. This was a signal that it was time to move out. Everyone else stood up and got ready no matter if they were done eating or not.

"Woah, look at that tall beauty." One boy said looking at vora who walked in front of her squad.
