Wisteria

Chapter 4

Ciel: Ah right, before we go...

Lyn and Ferd turn to face me as I sat up the park bench nudging to my left. The street lamp is still cut in half, with its upper piece on the ground.

Ferdinand: Oh! Almost forgot about that, I got it.

Ferd picks up the fallen street lamp part and reattaches it to its original position. Afterwards, a flame akin to a blowtorch spews out of his finger which he uses to weld the pieces together.

Ferdinand: And done. Lyn, if you please.

Lyn walks up to the lamppost now and places her hand on it. This time, a surge of electricity comes coursing through it. Restoring the lamp's light in the process.

Lyn: There we go, it's as if nothing happened.

I was in awe with how they used their Ether.

Ciel: I knew Ether could be used this way, I just never thought I'd see it in person. Nice work, I guess.

Ferdinand: Ha, you should see us in a fight.

Ciel: I'll pass- I've been in enough fights already... So, what are your names?

Ferdinand: I am Ferdinand Renes. You can call me Ferd for short.

Lyn: My name is Lyndis Wesley. I hope we get along.

Ciel: Right, Lyn and Ferd. Got it.

But then, a low grumble surprised all three of us. It didn't take long for me to realize it was from my own stomach. Still haven't gotten dinner...

Ferd: Dang! We should hurry up to the cafeteria before you starve to death Ciel-

Lyn: I hate to imagine what your stomach's feeling right now. Come on, let's go.

I simply nod as the hunger only intensified after my little scuffle with the woman named "Stella".

So we were off to get dinner. For I desperately needed some.

-A few minutes later-

After a few twists and turns and another elevator ride, we have arrived. The whole cafeteria looks like a 5 star restaurant. Chandeliers, comfy chairs and top tier food. I almost didn't notice the amount of people here despite it being this late. 

Ferd taps me on the shoulder to get my attention.

Ferd: Lyn and I will go find us a spot to stay, how about you order us our dinner in the meantime?

Lyn: Here, I'll write down what we'll have. Don't worry about the check too, Ferd's paying for tonight.

Ferd: Wait wha-

Lyn kicks Ferd in the shins before he could protest.

Lyn: Anyways, we'll see you at the table!

Lyn drags Ferd along while he screams internally.

As I stare at the two, I think to myself...

Ciel: What an odd pair, they are fun to watch at least.

With that, I head off to get our food. Luckily the line wasn't that long too, can't imagine what this place is like in the day.

As I lined up behind a Newman, I felt a nudge behind me. I turn to find a certain assailant's familiar face. I wanted to say something but she cuts me off.

Estella: Don't even think about it. I merely forgot to partake for this evening's viand.

Ciel: Alright Ms. fancy pants, duly noted.
