Genis was cooking curry, but only enough for two or three people. He looked down into the pot, that he'd borrowed from the cook, and sighed. He looked around the kitchen, which was empty. It'd figure, only because it was about two in the morning. He looked back at the boiling curry, and added some spices to it. He reached over to some herbs, and found the flower he and Mithos had used to cure his sister. He closed his eyes, and moved to the curry powder.
A knock on the door made Genis jump. "Who is it?" he asked rather glumly. There wasn't a response, so he walked to the door, holding the ladle that was scorching to the touch. "Who's there?" He said a little louder. The door creaked open, and Lloyd was standing there. "Hey Genis. Can I come in?" Lloyd looked kind've spacey, but Genis knew why. Almost everyone was spacey, too.
"Only if you wear hairnet."
"Do I HAVE to?"
"Yes. Or do you want hair in your portion of the curry?"
Lloyd grumbled, and slid on a hairnet.
"So, what do you need Lloyd?" Genis walked back to the pot of curry, and began to finish spicing it, and pulled the rice off the flame. Lloyd sighed, "We got to.." his voice caught, "Got to..." Genis froze and looked at him. "Lloyd... What? No one asked me.. Why didn't anyone ask me?" Genis grabbed the rice, and pulled it to the table, and globbed big portions of it onto a few plates. Lloyd shook his head, "No one asked me either. They didn't ask even Colette, or anyone. Only the adults... They left us out, and they're treating us like they did before the Tower of Salvation for the first time. Like kids." Lloyd put his hand to his forehead.
Genis poured the curry onto the rice. " Great... Now I'll be all alone again.."
Lloyd looked sadly at his friend, "I'm sorry.. Genis.."
Genis clenched his teeth, "Not all alone. I still have you, Lloyd.. But.. it.."
"Won't be the same as one of your own kind..." Lloyd finished for him.
Genis nodded, then asked, "Hey Lloyd?" Lloyd tilted his head, "Yeah Genis? What's up?" Genis pulled out some silverware, and put them into the three plates of curry. "How do they plan on.." Genis looked at him.
Lloyd shook his head, I don' k-"
The door swung open, "Genis, if you're really my friend, let's run away to Triet. Lloyd, you come too!" Mithos was standing there, telling them in a loud whisper, to run away. To TRIET, No less. Genis was awestruck, "Mi-mithos? What?" Lloyd stared, and said, "Huh?"
Mithos sighed, "I don't want to die. I know you two actually care about me.. and I honestly don't know what's going on! Please. We can leave after," he smelt the air, "we finish that good smelling curry.." Genis looked to Lloyd, who shrugged. "Well.. Alright. Genis, what about you?" Genis blunk. Did Lloyd just say that he would leave with MITHOS? Genis took a second, and nodded.
They silently ate the curry, and only talked once during their late meal. "What about our belongings? Kratos is in there.." Genis said, eating a fir porportion of rice and meat. Mithos shook his head, "Simple. He's probably communicating with Yuan, so when they're talking, I'll sneak in and get our stuff. Genis shook his head, "I'll do it, I'm smaller." Lloyd cleared his throat, "I'll do it. I wear red, yet I can sneak through a crowd easily." Genis sighed, "And you can picklocks..." Mitod asked, "Lloyd... are you a theif?" Lloyd nearly choked on his food, "N-No! I just have some talents.."
Mithos sighed, "Alright. Well, Lloyd will sneak our stuff out, and I'll get Ratatosk to cover our mana signatures. That is, if he still isn't mad at us.." Genis coughed, "I'll do that. He might, uhm, hurt you, you know?" Mithos paused, and sighed, "Fine. Then I'll ready a carriage? Any objections this time?"
There was no objections.
The plan was to run away, and be with Mithos till things were sorted out, or untill they were killed.
