25. Restaurant
Emmy sighed as she watched Clive and Luke blow straw wrappers at each other. Did manners just go out the window when they went to dinner? She stole another glance at the boys. Apparently so.
"Leave it to the Professor's second apprentice to eat so sloppily." Emmy smirked, but was unnoticed by Luke, since he was too focused on his steak.
"A true gentleman remembers his manners at all time." The professor took a sip from his teacup. "You should know that by now."
Luke paid no attention and continued to scarf down his steak. Flora and Katarina watched in half-disgust, half-horror. Even Clive was starting to look a little sick watching him.
"Luke? You might want to slow down…"
"You know what? I'm not hungry anymore." Katarina pushed her plate away from her.
"Waste not, want not." Emmy smiled as she pulled Katarina's untouched food closer. Hey, Luke wasn't the only one with a big appetite!
Later, a waiter showed up with the bill. The professor nearly fainted.
"Luke? Emmy? How did you expect I would pay for this?"
"What can I say professor? We are growing children after all."
"No. Luke and Flora are children. You, however, are an adult, which means you get to pay for your share."
A/N: I got this idea after I went to dinner with my FOUR younger brothers. I wanted to disappear into the floor afterwards and it was a good thing barely anyone was there.
Oh, in case anyone didn't hear, anyone can write a story with Katarina in it, as long as they give credit. Kay? Please review!
