章節 800: A Chance

"Kael hates you now," Dora muttered, glancing up from the menu as she placed her order for a hearty breakfast at the all-night diner that Cai had insisted on bringing her to.

Cai rolled his eyes dramatically, leaning back in his booth with a playful sigh. "He's always hated me. How is that news? It's practically a fact of life at this point."

"Hey! He didn't always hate you. There was a time when he was just jealous," she countered, her voice teasing as she settled into the plastic seat. "But this morning? He is really, really angry. You see, you robbed him of his precious early morning snack."

Cai leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "Well, if that's the case, then why don't you take something tasty for him? This place has a multitude of delicious snacks." He gestured animatedly around the diner, where neon lights flickered above and the smell of spices and condiments wafted through the air.
