Chapter 91: YOU EAT LIKE A BIRD
Ethan was so hungry when he woke up and wanted to wolf down two whole chickens and a few loaves of bread. When he was halfway to the dining hall, he met with Iris, who was looking around, as if she was lost.
Thus, without thinking twice, the gamma approached her and smiled brightly at her. "Good morning, Iris!"
Iris was startled because he came all of a sudden, but she responded to his greeting. It was not clear whether she simply greeted him or she just responded to his greeting.
But then, because they never had a conversation before and Iris was too quiet, Ethan didn’t know what else to say. Soon enough, his smile faltered and things felt slightly awkward.
Yet, out of the blue, Ethan blurted out, "This is a good day!" Once the words left his mouth, a thunder sounded from outside, as if to deny his statement.
Iris turned to look out the big window on her left, there was a frown between her brows. "But, it’s a downpour," she said in a matter of fact tone.
Ugh!
Ethan scratched his head and laughed nervously. "Yes, I think we have different perspectives of a day being good..." he muttered unreasonably. Thankfully, Iris didn’t ask further, but the silence that engulfed them was awkward. He tapped her shoulder so she could look at him. "Are you going to the dining hall to get breakfast?"
"Yes, Hanna said last night the dining hall is around here," Iris replied.
"Oh, great! I am going to get my breakfast too before morning training." Ethan clapped his hands.
"Morning training? But, it is raining outside," Iris said, as she glanced out the window again.
