“Nope.Well, yes.I sew your mate’s dresses.The ones with all the laces.”
Vikor smiled slowly.“Thank you.She loves those, and we love helping her with them.”
Ekron smiled.“It is a fun way to start the day.”
Alody nodded.“Glad you have fun with it.That is what it is supposed to be for.”
Ithal and Vaken sat together and pulled their trays in front of them.They counted down and attacked.
Diena laughed.Roysos left them with his tablets tucked under his arm.
Diena looked at the two actives.“So, what brings you to my domain?I mean, it isn’t Hell, but there is a lot of laughter and screaming.”
Vikor smiled.“Have you been?”
“Nope.I just work with a lot of people who have been.It isn’t really my field of interest.”
Ekron smiled.“Are you sure?”
Alody looked at the golden treasure of Aksalla.“If you send any innuendo toward my daughter, I will spike that fork through your head.”She smiled pleasantly.
Ekron paused.“Daughter.Oh.Right.You are Ithal’s mom.”
Diena grinned.“And my mom.And Ithal’s mom.We are having a family day.”
Ithal grinned through his chilli fries.
Vikor looked around.“This is an interesting place.I didn’t know it was open yet.”
Diena smiled.“This is our soft launch.The place is doing well, and private schools across the city and neighbouring areas are trying to book in groups.”
Vikor blinked.“This is yours?”
“Yes.I tried booking space for myself at a live range once, but they turned me down because I appear to be human.I would have loved a place like this where I could have practiced my activation before I was so good at hiding it that no one believed it was there.”
Ekron asked.“What is it?”
“The family inheritance.”She smiled.“Right, Ithal?”
Ithal nodded and kept eating.
“So, the food is good, but that is my special subject.”Diena smiled.
Ekron looked at the food, looked at Vikor, and smiled.“What do you want?”
“Burger and chilli fries.Don’t let Drin know.”He grinned.
Ekron got up and went to collect some food.
Vikor looked at Alody as she worked through her food.“Thank you.”
She paused.“You thanked me last night.”
They were speaking quietly, and the boys were chattering.Diena sipped at another beverage and smiled.
“I know, but he is Drin’s world and our nephew.If anything happened to him, we wouldn’t have forgiven ourselves.”
“There would have been nothing to forgive.It was an act of nature.I am just glad Ithal was willing to get a com installed.It’s nice that he’s big for his age.”
