Ryan was already salivating glancing at the meats, all these yummy meats were for him…he was about to engage in a feast.
“You can sit on one of the couches”. Dylan said to Ryan still holding the plate of meats in his hand.
Ryan glanced at one of the couches in the living room, walked toward it, took off his school bag, then balanced on the couch. After he’d balanced on it, Dylan drew the table in the living room close to him, then he dropped the plate of meats on it.
This made Ryan remember when Miss Amaya served him fruits, she did exactly the same thing. She drew the table in the living room close to him, dropped the tray of fruits on it, then he began eating.
“Enjoy”. That was the word that flowed out of Cora’s mouth while glancing at him after the plate of meats was kept in front of him.
“Yes, enjoy yourself, Ryan”. Dylan stated backing up his sister’s utterance.
Ryan was glancing at the meats in front of him right now, and he couldn’t wait to begin digging in. But before he started, he decided to inquire of them first,
“Wouldn’t you guys join me at all?”.
“Don’t worry, enjoy yourself man, they’re all for you. There are more meats, so we can simply help ourselves if we want to eat meats, and we’ve eaten a lot of them already”. Dylan responded.
Ryan nodded his head a little, then he began digging in…
The moment he put meat into his mouth and began chewing, his eyes widened due to how sweet it was. And that was how it kept on going, he kept putting meats into his mouth, chewing, and swallowing them.
He’d been feasting on the meats for some minutes now, and Dylan and Cora had been staring at him as he ate the meats. The both of them were sitting on a couch each with their gazes focused on him.
But before Dylan balanced on one of the couches in the living room, he first changed the robe he was wearing into another one inside his room.
It was always like this whenever he came back from school. He makes sure to change the robe he wore to school into another one.
“You’re enjoying the meats, right?”. Dylan uttered to Ryan while glancing at him.
“To the very brim, these are super delicious”. Ryan stated chewing meat in his mouth.
“It’s evident from your face that you’re enjoying them”. Cora said to Ryan with her gaze still focused on him.
“Who prepared these?”. Ryan inquired of the both of them.
“Our mum”. Dylan responded.
Ryan nodded his head a little before saying, “She’s such a good cook, these meats are freaking delicious”.
A little smile appeared on the faces of Dylan and Cora the moment Ryan said that. They didn’t say anything else to each other for a few minutes, Ryan was just feasting on the meats, and Dylan and Cora kept watching him.
Then Dylan’s voice resounded again, “Would you care for something liquid?”.
“Like a drink?”. Ryan uttered glancing at Dylan.
“Yes, something like that. Since you’re eating something solid, then it’s best to add something liquid to it as well”.
“Yes, I definitely care for a drink”.
“Alcoholic or non-alcoholic”.
“Non-alcoholic, I don’t want to get intoxicated”.
And with that, Dylan stood up from the couch he was sitting on and walked away to go get the non-alcoholic drink…
In just a few minutes of walking away, he was back with a bottle of drink in one hand, and a cup in the other hand. He dropped both on the table where Ryan’s plate of meats was, then he said,
“Enjoy”.
Ryan glanced at him before saying, “Wow! This is a lot, you guys are treating me like a proper guest. Thank you”.
“It’s nothing”. That was all Dylan said before walking back to the couch he stood up from and sitting back on it.
Ryan opened the bottle of drink, poured some of its contents into the cup, and took a sip. And fuck! It tasted so great, it went straight to his brain. His eyes couldn’t help but widen the moment he took a sip.
Eating these delicious meats mixed with this nice drink, he was about to double the enjoyment.
“It tastes nice, right?”. Dylan inquired of Ryan after he took a sip of the drink.
“Freaking nice. Are you sure this is a non-alcoholic drink?”. Ryan responded to Dylan’s question and threw a question at him as well.
“Yeah, it is a non-alcoholic drink, I’m a hundred percent sure of that. Does it taste alcoholic?”.
“No, it doesn’t, I just wanted to confirm”.
“Okay”.
And with that, Ryan resumed eating the meats and gulping down the drink. He was enjoying himself to the very brim, it was evident on his face.
..Now, there was something Cora was contemplating while glancing at Ryan.
She was contemplating whether to ask him some questions. What questions are we talking about here?
She was fully aware of the things that happened to him concerning the attempted suicide, the suicide note, the fact that he went into comma, and everything surrounding it. She was fully aware of them just as many people were aware of them.
She wanted to ask him questions related to it, she wanted to understand some things that she didn’t fully understand. She was contemplating whether to ask him the questions, but her mind was telling her not to do so.
Asking him those questions might make him remember things he didn’t want to remember, and that would only ruin his mood.
He looked excited eating the meats and gulping down the drink, she didn’t want to ruin his mood and change the atmosphere. So she decided not to ask him the questions though she really wanted to.
She was a considerate person and always tried to make use of her brain whenever she wanted to make a decision. Asking him that question might make him dislike her and consider her an inconsiderate person.
She didn’t want that, so asking him those questions was a no-go area. This was a decision she’d made, and she doesn’t plan on going back on her decision…
Ryan kept eating the meats and gulping down the drink, he’d been doing so for minutes now. In fact, he’d eaten a good number of the meats on the plate.
They’d reduced drastically due to how he kept feasting on them nonstop. After gulping drink down his throat, he glanced at Cora, and their eyes met immediately because she’d been staring at him all this while as he was eating.
And it was also the same case for her brother, Dylan.
The moment their eyes met, she didn’t try to look away or something, she was still staring at him. Ryan glanced at her because he wanted to ask her a question, and the question didn’t waste time to flow out of his mouth,
“Cora, do you possess an ability?”.
She was a little surprised by the question, but she still responded to it anyway,
“Yes, I possess an ability”.
‘Both siblings possess an ability, lucky them’. That was the thought that ran through Ryan’s mind the moment she responded to his question.
That one was in his mind, this was the next question he threw at her orally,
“What ability do you possess?”.
“The water affinity”. She responded once again.
“Nice”. Ryan stated nodding his head a little, then he threw another question at her, “Do you possess any of the minor abilities?”.
“No, I don’t”.
After she gave that response, he took his gaze off her and focused on Dylan before throwing the same question at him,
“What about you Dylan, do you possess any of the minor abilities?”.
“No, I don’t. None of us in this family possess any of the minor abilities”. Dylan responded.
“But all of you possess the main abilities”.
“Yes”.
Ryan nodded his head a little before he took a meat, put it into his mouth, and began chewing. And after he was done chewing, he swallowed. Then he gulped a huge amount of drink down his throat.
In his family, every single one of them possesses an ability apart from him and his mum. His two siblings inherited their dad’s bloodline, while he went ahead to inherit his mum’s bloodline.
But as for Dylan’s family, every single one of them possesses an ability. A kind of jealousy tried to build up in him thinking about it, but he didn’t let it…
‘I shouldn’t be getting jealous over this, it is wrong’. Ryan thought to himself.
Look at how they treated him nicely as a guest, look at what they served him which he’d been enjoying for minutes now. Look at how his sister was in her best behavior, she seemed to be a well-behaved person.
And what he’d use to repay them after all these was to be getting jealous of them? It was completely wrong.
..At least, there was still hope of him getting to awaken an ability in the future.
