Chapter 5: The X Family II (Monteseure)

Jormein wakes up in bed to find his wife had already woken up before him. He checks the time to see if it's already noon, it has been a very shaky night for him anyway. He looks at the clock and it reads "12:34". Realizing he's been asleep for 10 hours, he springs up, sitting on the side of the bed. He smirks and lets out a chuckle, reminiscing about the things that happened the night before. Jormein gets up, fixes the bed, showers, changes to his casual clothing, and heads downstairs.
In the kitchen, Calla was cooking lunch with the chef. Jormein walks up to her and plants a kiss on her lips.

Calla: You're finally awake.

Jormein: Yes, well...some things just feel too good.

Calla: *playfully slaps his shoulder* *giggling* Jormein!

Jormein: *chuckling* What??

Calla: Hmp. Sit down and eat your lunch already. You didn't have breakfast so go ahead and eat a whole bunch.

Jormein sits down at the dining table, followed by Calla. She's prepared steak, mashed potatoes, and boiled, chopped carrots. The two enjoy their meal for a while, and chat as they eat.

Calla: Don't you have places to be?

Jormein: Yes, but they can wait. I can sit down and have a meal with ma bel (French; my beauty) first.

Calla: Isn't Alisterra going to pick you up?

Jormein: She will. But I told her to get here exactly 3 hours before the time we're supposed to be at Ricardo's. Oh, and Ryland's coming by later, he'll be riding along with us. Since the inside of his car is covered in-

Calla: In front of the food, Jormein.

Jormein: Right, sorry. But anyway, he'll be joining us for the trip.

A distant call for Jormein is heard from the living room.

Ryland: Grand frère (French; Big brother)!

Jormein: The devil has spoken.

Ryland reaches the dining area and sees the couple eating. Calla stands up to greet him.

Calla: Landy *pecks his cheek*

Ryland: La sœr (French; sister) How are you?

Jormein: It's only been a day, Land.

Ryland: Is it wrong to miss your best friend?

Jormein: It is, when you don't greet them.

Ryland: Huh?

Ryland realizes what Jormein is talking about.

Ryland: Oh, you Hijo de puta (Spanish; son of a bitch). Come here. *hugs Jormein*

Jormein: Alright, now you can sit down.

Ryland: No, it's fine. I think you two need privacy.

Calla: Nonsense. Go on and sit, Lander.

Ryland: Well, if you insist.

Ryland sits down next to Calla at the table. Jormein is a bit surprised that Ryland decided to be more fashionable and wore a half unbuttoned shirt and a vest, white pants and black shoes. His attire is usually normal.

Jormein: Trying out a new style, I see.

Ryland: I'm glad you noticed. I plan on getting my hair dyed soon as well.

Calla: Oooooh. What color?

Ryland: I'm thinking I'll only be dyeing the larger portion of my hair, right of the gap. And the edges of my hair at the bottom too. Light yellow would be great.
