Chapter 4: Communication

Wayne Manor: Morning

I'm tired

They want me to continue

But I can't

Beady eyes stare at me

Judging me

Pens scratching

They shook their head

No

They're not satisfied

Here comes punishment

Eyes shot opened with tiny fists clutching her chest, twisting her white nightgown. Namaiki breathed heavily with slight sweat dotting her eyebrows. She frantically looked around her room and sighed in relief when she saw the familiar room that deserves to be filled with memories and personality. Sliding off the bed, Namaiki went to her wardrobe and sweatdropped at the numerous apparels in there.

Bruce must have bought more

How am I going to wear all of it?

Eyes glance through the wardrobe before quickly grabbing a simple white dress with ruffles and black bows, she also included a small black ribbon for her hair. Soon she was dressed and ready for the day. She took one look at her mirror and smiled at her reflection.

Today will be a good day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Namaiki hid behind the dining entrance, not at all ready to enter a territory of eating with her new family, could she call them that yet? Perhaps, not yet, but she hopes soon she could. She watches as Bruce ate his breakfast and flips through his newspaper with ease.

Should I go in

Bruce is already there

But where is Damian

Should I wait?

Head deep in thought, Namaiki didn't realize a shadow sneaked up behind her. Hands easily dwarfed her own soon came smack on to her head, ruining part of her perfect hair that she spent 20 minutes that morning. Namaiki not expecting this, immediately acted on instinct, grabbed Damian's hand and using his weight against him flipped him over her and Damian not expecting this, did not have the time countering her, fell onto the dining room floor.

Bang!

A groan escaped Damian's mouth as he lay on the floor in pain. Bruce immediately stood up in shock and surprise and watched as Namaiki immediately ran to Damian and fluttered around him in worry.

"Do start paying attention to your surroundings, woman," Damian groaned, started to stand up and pull Namaiki up with him.

Bruce finally got out of his shock, asked Damian, "Are you okay, Damian?"

"I remain uninjured, father. Merely in minor pain." Damian rubbed his back with a small grimace and turned towards Namaiki, who's head was lowered in apologies.

"If you wish to come, simply proceed instead of standing there like a fool," was all Damian said before ruffling her head and sitting down in his seat.

Namaiki still looked uneasy to sit until she saw Damian glared at her causing her to shake a little in fear before she submissively sat in her seat.
