Nergal hated eating food with others.

 So many customs and you screw up one you get yelled at. He could never eat anything that's just how it is diner parties are really just an excuse to talk to people he hated it. Well he hated a lot of things but one of the things he hated was social events

. He walked into the dining room following the boy. What was his name? It started with a k right kel no kenelm? Yeah that has to be kenelm. 

He walked into the dining room and looked around it was a homely dining room everything in this house seemed to be cosy they should pay there interior designer more. Nergal hated empty space but he didn't like it being messy to be honest he couldn't stand empty big rooms with one thing in side them it made him feel empty and small his mind always needed something to do or his mind will start running in circles and messing with things just to find something to do. Kenelm walked over to his mothers and sat down. Nergal didn't know where to sit was this some sort of cruel joke he slowly walked over to the farest chair from the others he wasn't part of their family so you shouldn't sit next to them right?

 The mom whose name he couldn't remember that was in the room with me gave him a sad look. Was he doing something wrong? Did they not want him sitting at the table with them? He could move to the floor was he not being polite. Would they hurt him or not let him eat.. No they're not like his brother right they were nice people right.

 He let out a sigh but he didnt move he didn't really like to be near people. "Hey you need to eat something, not just look at the floor you know," said a woman's voice. He looked up and it was the girl he saw fighting the bear.. Or he thought it was because he didn't get a good look at her. "Huh oh yeah" negal said looking over the food there were many types of food on the table most of them plant based 

to be honest Nergal didn't want to eat at all the feeling just made him feel sick. Plus what if he took to much food and got in trouble but at the same time he needed a lot of food for his journey. He made his choice the cons outweighed the pros but then again he needed to eat something if he didnt that would be rude. He looked for something that would make him feel like he was going to throw up. 

He finally decided on strawberries, taking a few of them and slowly eating them. He found out from eavesdropping that the women that fought the bear's name was Mageía and her wife's name was Kínisi. He also learned about magic or whatever she called it witchcraft?

 Eh didn't matter but anyways she said that some mortal had a connection with nature and could use the influence of the spirits to control the area around them without being a counterpart. She talked about counter parts like it was common knowledge. 

He wanted to ask questions but he couldn't bring up the courage to talk. After a while of listening kenelm asked a question that caught his attention "hey so any beings that are connected to the Sreimua can have a counter parts so can gods have a counterparts'' he asked Sreimua the realm of the other. spirits, monsters, other things and gods. People believe gods to be all powerful beings that made everything "oh uhh well technically but not really" Mageía said. "Huh what do you mean not really" kenelm said "well gods aren't known to like people and i have head stories of those that are counter parts and those are all to old to be confirmed so it's unknown if they can'' Mageía said
