Dining hall, The Monster Mansion.
Critic Arley, Critic-Ishire.
Sitting in the dining hall, and having breakfast, Lydia is seated on her usual seat next to the head while Theodore is sitting next to her, leaving his seat, the head seat, leaving it empty because he had insisted on sitting next to her, and not having her on his left or right. He needed to be closer to her.
"Eat more vegetables so the lake won't try to take you away from me again" he had insisted on his wife eating more vegetables to make her stronger and perhaps drown-resistant, Lydia wondered.
"You talk as if the lake is the assailant, the devil" she chuckled
His eyes would widen if they could "Because it is, it almost took you away from me" he spoke through gritted teeth.
