บท 292: Echoes of Memory (5)

"You seem much better." Uncle Eion commented as we ate. I nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah, I slept for a couple of hours." I replied as I nibbled on a piece of meat.

"I can see that," He chuckled. "Some colour returned to your face."

"It really did," Aoife said with a huge smile on her face. "Finally got rid of those nightmares, Kai?"

I shrugged. "I guess so." I finished my meal and sipped on some water. "Even just a couple hours of sleep did wonders though, that's for sure." I glanced at Uncle Eion, who was smiling. Then my gaze lingered on Mother, who had a rather sour expression on with that frown.

She noticed my gaze but didn't react at all. I sighed internally, she was clearly annoyed about something, and I knew better than poking around.

"I'm still somewhat tired," I said as I pushed my chair back. "I'll go to sleep early today." 

"Good night!" Aoife said cheerfully as I bid them a good night and headed back up to my room.
