The Fated Twins

Chapter 6: New Connections, New Beginnings

As they were heading back home the signs of rain were showing. Two cats followed the both of them somehow keeping up with their pace. Both Kim and Cale looked at each other, Cale smiled while Kim could only sigh.

"Young masters, you're both wet. I'll make sure to get a bath started for both of... what cute kitten-nims!!!"

Kim was holding on to the gray kitten while Cale was holding onto the red kitten. The both of them handed them to Hans who was absolutely gushing over the both of them.

"Make sure they're both clean, fed, and well cared for." Kim approached the both of them, while Hans instinctively took a step back not wanting these twins to become bad influences to the kittens. "Both of them are siblings so treat them well." The two cats flinched, confirming their suspicions to the twins having discovered the nature of their identities. Kim grinned turning back to Cale as the both of them headed to get bathed and dried.

Ron entered the connected rooms of the twins after hearing of their return only to spot kittens freshly cleaned, fed, and dried with Hans kneeling in front of them. A slight gleam of interest shone in his eyes. Cale entered his back into his room while Kim did much the same but then entered Cale's room through the connecting door of their rooms. The both of them couldn't help but look at Hans in slight disbelief. They began to communicate telepathically.

'What's his problem?' Cale could only shrug at Kim
'Well at least we can be assured he'll take good care of them.' The both of them glanced at Ron who seemed to be thinking the same thing as the both of them from his expression alone.

"Hans for our entourage make sure Beacrox gets put on as our personal chef." Cale only nodded in agreement with Kim.

"But isn't Beacrox in Charge of kitchen 2 won't he be too busy to..."

"I've been eating Beacrox's food for years. His food is the best by far. I don't think I could bear eating anyone else's."  Cale quickly countered to Hans "Oh and you'll be joining as well so make sure everything will be ready in four days." shivers both went up and down as they glanced at Ron who put on a brighter benign smile

"I'll be happy to report the news to my son, I'm sure he'll be happy to travel for a bit after all we've been meaning to go out for a bit anyways." Cale flinched, this confirmed his suspicions that the Molans' had always meant to leave. It might've just been bad timing that their best route to revenge happened to be the person who beat him close to death. He could only sigh. Kim gave him a small pat but averted his eyes away from Cale hearing his thoughts but still kept a stoic expression. But Cale couldn't help but notice the red hue to Kim's ears, he smiled happy that this new older twin brother of his was trying his best to comfort him despite his awkwardness to the gesture. Cale smiled as he leaned his head to Kim's shoulder reminiscing about his past doing the same with the previous Kim when he was much younger. Kim sighed but smiled gently, that seemed to soften his usually sharp features. Ron's eyes widened, he had long tried to keep a distance while serving the young masters as he always knew that both him and his son would eventually leave which was made slightly easier with the puppy's trashy behavior. But seeing them return to their past better selves is causing himself to revisit emotions. He never thought he had towards the two young masters. It has become clear that Cale might have been acting like trash from the very beginning, but maybe since Kim has gotten better, has Cale let up with his previous behavior. Ron wasn't still sure though had his suspicions as to why he started acting the way he did, it might have been due to the arrival of Violin and Basen into the family. Though these were only his speculations.

'Always so clumsy, he always was a clever boy but always stumbled in terms of strategy, always choosing the bath that would most easily protect those around him at the cost of his own happiness. Though it's nice to see Kim hasn't changed much." Back when countess Jour was around the considered geniuses thought Kim was always ahead when it came to history, language, administration, military tactics; although his solutions were unconventional and occasionally extreme they usually resulted in the most favorable outcomes, though that was only when Cale or Lady Jour would encourage or motivate him otherwise he would rather laze around all day. Cale, although also exceptional in those fields, was only ahead of Kim when it came to etiquette and social studies. Kim although could easily play the part of a noble when required preferred being direct although that wasn't bad either it's just that he disliked the etiquette instructor.
