Kai let the difference between his and Andrik's status become a wall of silence for a while.
The swarthy mate looked around, taking deep breaths and licking his dry lips. When Kai saw him getting frustrated, noting the boundary of his patience, he tapped on the table, and the mate straightened his back in surprise.
"Andrik," Kai barked. "You have done HIM great service by adhering to my orders in these last few weeks. I dare not speak for the Drowned God, but I can feel it in my heart; HE is pleased with you."
Andrik's breathing was caught in his throat, Kai could tell.
The brown-haired giant humbled himself by emptying the entire mug of wine, wine dripping off the corners of his mouth. He slammed the mug hard on the table and nodded.
No wonder he was named Andrik the Unsmiling, Kai amused himself, sipping his wine.
"And thus, HIS loyal servant, Andrik the Twice-Drowned," he continued, slowly, "this meal isn't an ordinary meal, but a reward. Priestess Shae, serve us the flesh of the Storm God's spawn."
The shudder that had coursed through Andrik shook the entire table. He would have stood up in shock if it wasn't for Kai's tap on his knee. "You remember the roars of our foe that I faced after sending you below the deck, right?" Kai said, distracting Andrik as Meg took two plates of cooked Pokemon meat out of her MRB. "It was a monster sent by the Storm God. But, using the Drowned God's power, I slew the beast. Now, we will feast on its flesh."
Meg put the two huge trays on the table, and aromatic steam entered their nostrils, making their mouths water. At one glance, none could tell if it was regular meat or magical. But Contestants could sense Mana around them, and thus, Kai could feel it, the magic lingering within this cooked flesh, hidden deep.
Kai would have never shared this precious food with anyone, much less needed to be said about Andrik, who was neither a Contestant nor someone he needed to manipulate anymore to gain a favor. He just wanted to see how the magical flesh would affect an ordinary human, or more accurately would be to say, a main storyline Character.
"Don't wait for me," Kai commented and lunged at the meat.
On his side, Andrik, almost barbarically, gawked at the meat and then tore a large piece.
The moment he gulped the morsel, Kai noticed from the corner of his eyes that Andrik's entire face had become red. Piece after piece, both kept eating, stuffing their bellies with the delicious meal. The sound of wine gurgling in their throats, chewing, and clutters of plates rang within the cabin for some time.
They belched together and laughed. "Good," Kai said, nodding, and sloshing his wine. "How do you feel?"
"Incredible!" Andrik bellowed, drunk on meat and wine, grease running down his chin and staining his patched doublet. "Hot and powerful. It's like there are two of me inside one body. Now I just need a woman. Nothing's like fucking a woman after a hearty meal and bloody fight."
Kai's lips twitched as he saw Andrik's face turning to look at Meg. Aphrodisiac?! He thought, winking at Meg, who was looking back at him in a horrified, stunned stupor. Hmm, I need more experiments to confirm it.
A white fog entered Andrik from the back.
Selene sent a burst of Soul Chill at the minimum output, sending a shiver running down his entire body. The redness over his skin visibly receded, and as Andrik's mind calmed down, a hideous fear flashed across his previously lustful eyes.
