Scarlet saw Lyndel with bunch of plastic on both his hand entering her room, and she can't help but think wether her brother wanted to feed a pig or he think his sister is a pig.
"Lyndel who will finish all those food?" Even though Stars Garden is really huge place, but usually there was no one in the main building beside Doctor Rick and the housekeeper who managing daily need of Doctor Rick , the workers only come in the morning or whenever called, and leave as soon as they finished their taks. And now with her and Lyndel there will be only 4 people here, but Lyndel has brought enough to feed 9 people.
Lyndel looked at Scatlet with confused look. "You?" of course she will finish it all, who else will?
Scatlet choose to ignore this unrealistic brother of hers, "Forget it, send some to Doctor Rick and Housekeeper Lawn first."
"I have." he say lightly
Scarlet: "....." Okay..
"Now what do you want to eat? I have many of your favorite foods, well beside you can only eat light food now so I only buy light food one, but I think the taste will not have any problem, you can eat by yourself? do you need me to feed you?" Lyndel completely dont care about anything else, he arrange the mountain of foods in the small table beside Scarlet bed to let her choose, carefully take spoon in one hand and wanted to take one food in another one but stopped suddenly.
"So which one you want to eat?" Lyndel asked with innocent face and spoon in his hand completely determined to feed her.
Scatlet really want to refuse Lyndel 'kindness' and eat by herself, but sensing her hands doesn't want to cooperate at all, she accept her fate with mournful heart.
"Seafood porridge please." She say after a while. Lyndel really brought many food, and either one of them is to her liking, just trying to choose one of them was difficult anough.
Lyndel nodded while his eyes keep searching for seafood porridge amoungst the mountain of foods, where do I put it?
The naugthy side of Scatlet wanted to make Lyndel keep searching for a while but her stomach is really hungry and the fragrant smell of her favorite food didn't help at all, so she help Lyndel to find her dear seafood porridge.
Lyndel sat beside her bed, with spoon in one hand and seafood porridge in another, his face is so serious that it become funny.
"Pft" Scarlet can't hold it anymore and laughed loosely. She know she should not have, but she just can't help it.
Seeing her laughing at himself, Lyndel don't mad. It's like a heavy burden in his heart disappear into thin air.
It looks like I worried way too much. He worried she will be dispirited for a while, but truth to be told he always know she will not, from the young age she always so stubborn for something she have, never be anxious for something thats not hers, and let go what is not hers anymore.
Vell is just perfect example for that, although she want him, but she will not love him. Until she have him, she will love him and will not let go. But when he go, she will let him go completely.
Lyndel let out a sigh in his heart, although he relieved, one can't help but feel sad. He shake his head to get rid of those thought and try focused to seafood porridge in his hand.
He carefully put sprinkles leeks aside, spoon some porridge and bring it to Scarlet tiny lips, and she open her mouth eagerly. When she feel rich taste of seafood porridge in her mouth, she let out a satisfied smile.
They keep silent while eating as if wanted to treasure this moment without worring about the future. But what keep them from this reality was just a thin curtains, that will blow away with tinny bit of wind.
Unfortunately they are in the midle of storm, and this tranquility never been destined to last.
In the midle of their meal, this pair of sibling being disturbed by phone ringthone. Lyndel eyebrows furrowed but still he put the spoon he held and pick up the phone in his pocket.
"What happened?" His voice was calm and clean despite his impatient expression.
The person in the phone seems to explain something, but Scarlet can't hear a thing, and Lyndel expression did not give slightest clue. He is like a different person compared to when he feed her with all caution and seriousness written all over his face 5 second ago.
While he is in his work mode, this evercalm brother of hers did not forget to put the seafood porridge on the table, shift his phone to his left hand and keep feeding her with his right hand.
Scarlet become speechless for a while, before she open her mouth to recieve his feeding. If she say she didn't curious about what news Lyndel hear, it will be a lie. She can't be blamed though, she has been in charge for Grace information agent, for almost 3 years. There almost nothing she don't know, suddenly don't care would be impossible.
She know Lyndel will not tell her anything at all so she doesn't ask, but her large doe eyes keep staring at him curiously.
Lyndel remain oblivious, and let her staring at him as much as she want. If it was before, he will not bear it for even 5 second before he tell everything he knew, but the last accident left him with huge trace within his heart. Fear and regret that will not disappear make him completely determined to keep her away from this storm.
So he didn't give Scatlet chance to see slightest clue, or so he thought until he hear some news that caught him of guard.
"Master?" Lyndel expression become tense. In this world, maybe only two people can make him unable to keep his clam, one lying in front of him, and the other who he never saw his face and he swear to protect, his master.
Scarlet become stiff the moment she heard Lyndel. Master..., in this modern era this title will rarely be used, but she doesn't think any other title will be suitable to address him. Because our realitionship is too complicated and 'master' is the only word that can discribe his importance to us.
