(F) Gänger POV:

Sabre..... Hmmm, that name... Why does it seem so familiar? I pondered, still glancing between him and Dopple cautiously. We stood for a few moments of silence before Dopple finally spoke up again.

"Well, anyways, Sabre, are you hungry? I know we just met, and you probably don't trust me, but I'd love it if you'd try my stew. It's my own special recipe!" she said with an incredibly excited tone. Oh boy... This is not going to end well...

Dopple paused for a moment, then took out some of her Special Stew (which I like to call Dopple's Special Stew), and tried to hand it to Sabre. To my surprise, and dismay, though, he slapped it away, and it clomped to the ground, its contents soaking into the grass and dirt. I looked at Dopple's ruined stew, a pang of disappointed twinging at my heart. I knew how much Dopple loved her stew, so I worried about how she'd react. Glancing at her, I realized that my worst fear had come true. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and she looked horrified by the sight of her poor, ruined stew.

"I-... My-... My stew..." she managed to choke out, her arms beginning to shake. Pity overwhelmed me, and I put my hand on her shoulder as she looked away from the both of us.

"...Are you seriously crying over some stupid stew?" I heard Sabre ask, his voice sounding somewhat amused, yet dismissive.

"N-no! Of c-course not! W-why would I cry over some-.. Some dumb stew..." Dopple's voice died away, a few of her tears plopping to the ground.

"Hmm," Sabre grunted with a doubtful sound.

Anger welled up in me, and I decided that that was the last straw. You think you can hurt my sister and get away with it? Well, think again, jerk! "You know, the whole point of stew is to eat it, right?" I snapped at him, fury lining my voice.

Sabre gave a dismissive grunt and began to walk away. Not so fast! "What the- where do you think you're going, buster?! You need to apologize to Dopple! You disrespected her stew!"

Sabre paused for a moment, turning back towards us. Then, without a moment's notice, he disappeared with the flashing of lightning.
