    For the next few days, Zeldris didn't leave his brother's side. Meliodas found it unusually enjoyable, even if did miss having  time to himself. Although, he had to admit that felt more at ease knowing that Zeldris wasn't in danger.

    When Meliodas was more than able to stand on his own he paid Gowther a visit. In his hand, he clenched five silver. When he walked into the room the magician was a deep trance. He only diverted part of his attention to the demon princes the entered.

    "Something you need?" Gowther asked. Meliodas walked up next to him and slammed down the coins, hoping to avoid Gowther's mocking gaze.

    Gowther immediately stopped a gave him an all-knowing look. "So you finally admit it?"

    "Shut it."

    "Admit what?" Zeldris piped up. Meliodas jolted, having forgotten that Zeldris had followed him there.

    "Your brother bett-" Gowther was cut off as his head tipped off. Meliodas stood, trying to keep his cool. Zeldris turned a tad pale.

    "Nothing. Bet nothing."

    Gowther placed his head back on. "Well, either way, did you know that before Zeldris was abducted he was hunting to get you some food?"

    "Why?" Meliodas asked, turning to Zeldris.

    Zeldris pressed his fingers together. Gowther said you were angry so I'd try to cheer you up." Meliodas stared for a bit. Cheer him up? "He said you liked dragon meat and pork..."

   "Well... Then would you like to go hunting?"
