Sorry for not posting yall. It's been super super busy for me lately. I had final exams two weeks ago, and this pass week has been eventful. I had my school dance, graduation, graduation dinner, and my dance recital so please bear with me lol.

"I--Uh, do you guys need any help?" [Name] asked the two maids that were cooking breakfast for that morning. They looked at the girl with a annoyed expression on their faces, and then glanced at each other before their attention went back to the food they were cooking. I guess not. She thought turning to the door that lead into the dinning room.

[Name] sat herself in the antique oak chair, and looked at the grandfather clock that sat in the corner of the room. Three minutes till ten. And that three minutes was the longest three minutes ever.

It's been a few days since I've seen Nana. [Name] thought looking around at the maids, who began to gather around and get into their spots. It was quite noticeable gap where Nana would stand and kneel. I hope she's okay. She was the only nice person here.

[Name] was quickly shut out of her thoughts when the dinning room door slammed opened. The maids immediately knelt down, and [Name] stood from her seat. She learned it was a polite thing to do. Since the 'king' should be the first one seated at the table.

She made eye contact with the man. His blood red eyes never failed to send chills down her spine.

Once Sukuna was seated, [Name] sat down at her usual spot she's been sitting at for the past week.

One maid got up and brought out the breakfast for this morning.

"This morning's meal, red bean mochi pancakes with eggs." The maid said, placing the food on the table. She then filled Sukuna's plate with some food, and then [Name]'s plate.

"Coffee?" The maid offered Sukuna. He nodded. [Name] picked up her fork and knife, and began to cut the pancakes. Man, I'm hungry. She thought, eating a piece of the food.

Sukuna watched closely as she ate. Watching every emotion in her face, like he was the one who made the food and needed to see her approval. But [Name] could feel the sense that someone was watching her. So she couldn't help but look up. And yet again met the chilling eyes of Sukuna.

He wasn't eating. Hell, he wasn't even picking up his fork. Is there something wrong? She wanted to ask. But figured that it wasn't the best idea. Plus, she was still scared of him. But let's be real, who's not scared of him.
She placed her fork down, wondering if it was something she had done wrong. So, [Name] sat with her hands folded in her lap. Maybe Sukuna had to take the first bite? But she had been here for a week or so, and she had never noticed that Sukuna had to eat first.

She knew he had to be the first seated at the table, and the first served.

"Is there something wrong?"
His deep voice echoed off the dinning room walls. [Name] looked up at the man. This is the first time I've heard him talk since..
"I asked a question."

"Oh--I--there's nothing wrong with my food.." [Name] quickly said, shoving another piece of pancake into her mouth. She coughed and quickly covered her mouth. Something taste different. She thought. Sukuna covered his mouth with his tattooed hand and began to go in deep thought.

"D--Did you guys put something..different in the--the pancakes?" [Name] asked.
The maids looked around at each other suspiciously.  "It taste...less sweet then normal mochi pancakes." Now the maids looked at Sukuna in fear. Oh no. I said too much, have I? She thought, slowly chewing another piece of pancake. 

The man at the other end of the table slowly looked up from his train of thoughts, and soon, murmurs could be heard around the room. 

"Quiet." Sukuna growled, causing all the maids to shut up. He grumbled inaudible things to himself before got up from the table and left. Dramatic much. [Name] thought, taking another bite of the pancake. Whatever they put in this is really good though.

Just as [Name] was about to take another bite Shibuki got up and took her plate away.

"I-I was still eating--"

"When the master's done, so are you." Shibuki practically growled. [Name] sat there at the table for a good moment. Great. Shibuki walked away with [Name]'s half full plate, while Suma and Saori followed her. [Name] pushed herself away from the table, and got up from the oak chair. 

"I see you're still alive and well." A familiar voice said, as [Name] pushed open the door.

"Oh!--Nana you're back." [Name] said with a kind smile. "You scared me for a second." She placed her hand on her heart.

"Yeah..." Nana walked towards the girl so she can stand next to her. "Anyhow, I see you passed."

"Passed what?" [Name] tilted her head. Nana shook her head and wrapped her arm around [Name]'s arm.

"Let's go to the garden, shall we? I planted new flowers a Spring ago." Nana said. [Name] squinted her eyes towards the girl, but nodded anyways. "I tell you there." She whispered, leading [Name] away from the dinning room.
