บท 464: About the competition

"So, what do you think about my family?" 

This question was paused by Beord to Lanta once Adler and Arya departed from the ice cream shop were the two couples had gone after leaving the castle. 

"It's nice." Lanta replied. "Everyone is all smiles and all love and sunshine. You guys are like the annoying perfect human family."

Beord had raised his hand, fingers and eyes on the ice cream menu. He was just about to order for two sparkling ice cream cocktail when Lanta responded to his question. For five seconds, he froze and raised his eyes to meet hers lazily. 

"Human family, you say that a lot." he told her. 

He completed his order and leaned back against his seat making himself comfortable. 

"Say what?" She asked him.  Her head tilted to the left and then  then the right.  Her eyes roaming all over the ice cream shop as if she was searching for something. Her nostrils too, flared. She was acting in a way that strangely reminded of her Severus.
