What is your favourite thing to eat Kit, like in breakfast... Lunch, dinner, snacks '
Kit was sitting in a slightly uncomfortable position, might be due to the question.
' Umm, Anything which is not too sweet and fills my stomach, like bread and water'
' I also like to have a full stomach but I also like sweets, so I just eat sweets till I am full'. Sarah had started attacking the boy with a barrage of silly questions.
The other kids were gazing the sight of a shy cat and a hyperactive rabbit chatting with each other from their seats at the dinning Hall.
Erebus ran his hand through the creases of the wooden chair he was sitting on feeling the texture of the conversation between the two.
' Kids have you all met with Kit? 'The voice of Miss Mary blew like wind.
( Seeing the faces of the kids)
'Guess I got my answer... ( huff) guys don't be like this, he is a friend, introduce yourselves .
' I introduced myself so properly Miss Mary 'the familiar talk of Sarah.
'Ok so, i have to... '( creek) a sudden shift of the chair, someone had finally stood up.
'Hey Kit my name Is Rem , I am 16 years old and I like to practice swordsman ship, it's very nice to meet you '
Rem held his hand for a good amount of time hoping for a handshake.
'I think you already know my name, it's Kit, I like to paint sometimes but not that often'
He glanced at Rem's hand
'why are you holding your hand like that '
'Umm, it's actually for shaking '
'What does that mean? '
( Visibly shocked by the comment)
' Oh , its very simple , you just...
( Rem grabs the hand of kit and tries to demonstrate a handshake, when suddenly)
' What are you trying to do, get off me ( Kit grabs both the hands of Rem, twist them and pushes Rem away).
Rem controls his motion and avoids the fall, stepping a few inches away.
The room is filled with whispers and chatters of kids some bewildered some amazed.
'Hey I was just giving you a handshake why did you do that? '
'I don't know, I just.. I am sorry! '
Miss Mary had seen all of this ' Rem step back, kids this introduction can be done after some time go back to your rooms '.
' But he pushed me when I was just talking '
' Rem I would handle that, he pushed you, you can push him too while you are playing with him, just remember no harm was done '
Rem who was bewildered by the new kids reaction, faced towards us
' Ok Miss Mary, I will take everyone to the dorm '
' Thank you my dear! '
The room became completely empty with only two people staring at each other.
' I am sorry Miss Mary'
' I just thought he was going to hit me '
Miss Mary leans forward and consoles him in her soft embrace.
' I know darling, don't cry no one was harmed, nor you nor Rem '
' What is a handshake Miss Mary, I wanted to know '
'Ohh, why don't you ask the one who wanted to demonstrate, and no pushing, ok '
Kit stares at Miss Mary. ' Do I have to do it now '
' Whenever you feel like it '
The Dorm Room :
' Did you see how savage he was, he was trying to pick a fight for no reason '
Rem was marching around the small group of children.
Sarah rolled her eyes at the direction of Rem ' Well I don't know who was more savage, but you were losing to him '
Max immediately covering Sarahs mouth ' please stop provoking him! '
'Let it slide Rem, the kid might be suffering from his own problems, he didn't even know about a handshake 'Max trying to control the situation.
' Let it slide ( huff ) you weren't the one who was pushed because you tried to greet someone'
' Talking about that ,where is Erebus ? '
Dinning Hall:
'The creases of these chairs are so polished, who might have been the craftsman'
Kit had started to inspect the surroundings of the room from the chairs to the utensils.
' Hey you can can come out now, Miss Mary has left '
Erebus who was hiding beside the wall, cam out in an instant.
' Huh! How did you know? '
Kit rubbed his eyes
'Your shadow was totally visible from my position'
'You name is Erebus right?'
'Yeah! '
Erebus
began to sit in a chair.
'Can I ask you something? '
'What is it? '
'Why did you push Rem? '
Kit shook his head a little, as if searching for a correct answer.
'I don't know! I didn't mean to, he just grabbed my hand and my instincts took over '
'Yeah it happens sometimes, I also don't like when people touch my hair oftenor pinch my cheeks '
There was an ominous silence in the room, as if the questions had been over from both sides.
Erebus glanced over Kit.
'So what do you... your eyes! , we're they always red .
Kits expression changed from relieved to panic.
He grabbed the area of his eyes with force.
'No, no! Not now, when everything was going so well! '
'What happened Kit, don't grab your eyes like that, you would hamper your vision! '
Kit grabbed both the shoulders of Ace.
'Promise you won't say this to anyone, promise that you won't ever mention the color of my eyes! '
'Relax, I won't say! '
In all of this commotion nobody noticed Rem, whi was hiding at the same spot where Erebus was hiding.
Kit glanced at the sight of the conversation.
'No! , no, why is it someone with the ruby eyes! '
