Raya 2: The Return of the Black Dragon

Chapter 6: Lady in the Cloak

    It was night on the Shrimporium, Sisu, still in human form, asked Boun to cook for Jarek. He did as she brought them to Jarek in the room.

Jarek: "Food?"

Sisu: "Yes, Jarek. Food, which is why you are gonna try them all to like it without eating fresh food, or stealing."

As she placed the food on the table, Jarek was not willing to risk it.

Jarek: "I changed my mind, I'd rather eat sometime later."

Sisu: "There's no later, you remember the promises you made to Boun. You try them, and he'll help us. Don't, then he'll kick you out the Shrimporium forever."

With her point, Jarek then tried it. He tried the steam dough, as he was afraid to eat it. Then Sisu tells him to eat it.

Sisu: "Come on, the dough won't be that bad. It tastes good, watch." As she ate one, and showed him how good it was. "Now you try it."

Jarek slowly takes a bite of the dough, and chews it for a second. For a minute, his eyes were wide open and like it. Sisu sees his expression, knowing he likes it.

Sisu: "You like it?"

Jarek: "Yeah, it tastes good."

Sisu: "Knew you like it. Now taste the other food. You might also love them."

Jarke tried the shrimp, and he loved it even more. Until he began devouring the food very fast, as Sisu sees him more hungry.

Sisu: "Whoa, slow down. You don't wanna get an appetite."

As she makes sure Jarek doesn't have an appetite, Boun was peeking to see Jarek loves his food, as Sisu gives a thumbs up as he loves them. Boun was happy, as Noi and the Ongis saw his expression of happiness. And Raya and Namaari were surprised to see him happy.

Raya: "Seems like Boun is happy, for a black dragon tasting his food."

Namaari: "Well, I don't really trust him. I still stick to the story."

Raya: "Yeah, I agreed with you." Agreeing with her.

But Namaari thinks that she does not agree with her.

Namaari: "Raya, do you really agree with me?"

Raya: "Of course, why do you think I would agree?"

Namaari: "Because you agree with someone who you try to connect with, doesn't mean you have to keep agreeing."

Raya: "I do agree, agreeing with you always."

Namaari gives her the stern look, as Raya admits she does not agree.

Raya: "Okay fine, I disagree. I didn't want you to be left alone for believing Jarek is dangerous to be truthful. I don't wanna hurt your feelings."

Namaari: "Raya, I understand you don't wanna hurt my feelings." As she looks at their friends. "I know you don't want our friends to not believe me, after my mistake from using the crossbow, you know what really happened."

Raya did remember, and did not want her to remember that event.

Raya: "You don't blame yourself, I was the one with my anger against you. I thought I made a mistake of trusting you, but it was me who was not being so trustful. And all I wanted to say is.... I'm sorry. And you are great friends."

Namaari really loved how Raya made her feel happy. She places her hands on hers, and Raya smiles. In the room, Jarek was happy he had tasted so many delicious foods he never knew how it would taste. Sisu was glad he was finally eating. But all the food he had eaten, which she didn't have, was gone. Jarek was surprised and didn't mean to devour everything.
