Ch. 6 Sweets and Enamors
"This tome is fascinating indeed, what was it that you called it? Fiction? Mortals have quite a way to enjoy their short life," Sothis kicked her legs around, laying on her belly.
She had been kept busy with thick, heavy, mushy romances ever since Beresu took her to the library, unwillingly of course. It has been some time since Sothis was able to manifest herself in front of the twins. Though they would have been better off without. The 'ghost', a codename the twins used to describe her, had shown the twins that she was not someone who can be taken lightly. The past couple of weeks she had disturbed the twins from their daily lives. To combat this the twins had made a shift schedule of whom Sothis can pester that day. Today someone was Bereto's lucky day.
"I must ask, you mortals read these tales which were written by other mortals which may or may not be true?" Sothis lifted her head up towards the serious Bereto tapping his finger on a tome that was occupying him.
Bereto turned to his bed where Sothis was, staring at the nuisance inside his room for a moment. He reminisced of the days past of bliss and peace without a certain someone asking questions almost every single moment and complaining every other time.
"I guess so," Bereto briefed her on the ways of the mortal then turned his chair back towards his desk.
"Have you read this before?"
Bereto glanced at the cover that Sothis spread all over his face. Coincidentally, he has read it before. It was a story about two kids and the drama surrounding their lives as they learn about romance. There was something about sweets in that book but he could not recall.
"Yes."
"Then hush, do not tell me how this story ends," Sothis gave her full attention back to the book.
Bereto went back to his work before hearing another comment from Sothis, "strange these kids are, how can they be so entangled with one another. All because of some confection."
The two continued on their works quietly for a moment before Sothis decided to interrupt.
"Bereto, how do Leicester Delights taste like?"
He never had the luxury to buy sweet things. They were costly and would only end up in the hands of those with wealth.
"I don't think so."
"Do you suppose Berusu can make them? I'm very intrigued how these sweets can start such a story! These kids sure are strange," Sothis asked, in the hope that the more feminine one of the twins would know a thing or two about sweets, what she failed to understand that they were two peas in a pod. Bereto never had much interest in sweets nor did he have any interest in romances.
"Yes they are strange, especially when they're thousands of years old." old."/p
