"He's literally a docile cat, there's no need to squeak like a terrified mouse." Sylva nudged me close to the table as she made her way to the entrance.
"Now start eating, the journey will be long."
'Even if you say that Sylva.' I can barely finish my bread.
More so I barely managed to swallow the tiny bits.
Because my eyes soon landed on him.
The boy named Nico.
Dark brown skin. Dressed in a simple white dress shirt and working overalls.
Black hair ruffled like tufts of cat fur unlike Reina's pretty feathery hair.
Eyes that resembled the lingering and always watching cats stared back at me.
Making it hard to swallow the bread in my mouth.
But what surprised me the most was the color of his eyes.
'His eyes resemble Monsieur Houdin's.'
Golden.
"Who." His face seemed blank though. Compared to Monsieur Houdin's warm and welcoming smile.
Nico's seemed...stiff.
"Are you?"
Gulping the bread down, I tried to find the right words to say.
Except.
All of it spilled instead.
"I-I'm a...a magician! Howard! Howard Houdini!"
I wanted to cry.
Boys don't introduce themselves like this!
