*I'm going to shoot this mother fucker...* Irillium thinks to herself, her soul escaping at the mouth.
"And what might be your name then?" Maya says to Yosen.
"My name is Fen." He says. Yosen chuckles in his mind. *With this, you'll have to take my offer. Unless you want to seem suspicious for summoning a familiar way more powerful than you're capable of.* He thinks to himself.
*I swear if Maya wasn't watching right now I'd make you suffer.* Irillium thinks to herself, glaring at Yosen.
"Is something the matter?" Maya says, noticing Irillium's angry energy.
Irillium snaps out of it. "Oh? Oh nothing Maya. I was just thinking about the Len Brothers. They've been pissing me off a lot recently." Irillium says with a nervous laugh.
"We should talk to Galvin about this. I'm sure he'd help." Says Maya. Irillium lifts her brow, as if it's replacing the sarcastic comment she has stored inside. "Ah... Nevermind. Should we go to breakfast?" Says Maya.
Irillium sighs. "Sounds good to me." She says, walking behind Maya while giving menacing sideways glances to Yosen.
*I wonder where that guy went?* Maya thinks to herself.
...
Irillium and Maya walk into the dining room. Lucith, Lina, Galvin and Victor are sitting all around a large table. Only two seats are left open, one next to Lucith and the Other next to Galvin.
Irillium pays immediate attention to where she'll sit the moment the dining table is in sight. *Well I'm not for a fuck sitting next to Lucith... But if I sit next to Galvin that'll seem like I forgive him for yesterday. Lucith will be upset with me though if I sit there instead of Maya.*She thinks. Irillium groans.
She walks over to the table, still in her pajamas. *Galvin it is...* She thinks regrettably. *If only I had cultivated a better relationship with Lucith. Then again, it's not my fault he acts like an arrogant dog.* She thinks.
"Good morning Irillium, I see Maya's dragged you out in your sleep attire again." Victor says with a soft laugh.
"Oh. I actually forgot I was still wearing this. Maya, you should have told me." Irillium says jokingly. She sits down next to Galvin and Maya sits by Lucith, and he appears to be relieved by that.
Galvin tenses up as Irillium pulls out the chair to sit. *Isn't she still upset with me? Then again, she probably prefers sitting here over sitting by Lucith... Not that I can really complain about how he treats her though.* Galvin thinks to himself.
"If you ask me, it's quite uncouth." Says Lucith, sipping on his tea. Irillium ignores the comment and continues dishing up food for herself. Lucith looks over at Lina, who is sitting on the other side of him, expectantly.
Lina doesn't even need to look at him to know what he wants her to do. "I have no comment." She says casually. Lina, yet again, remains a neutral party. *Stop expecting me to bully her.* She thinks to herself exasperatedly.
*What did I even expect.* Lucith thinks.
"Lucith we're at home. Let her be comfortable in front of family, it's the only place we can really be at ease anyways." Victor says sternly. *Why must he always bicker. His behaviour is fine with everyone except Irillium.* He thinks.
Galvin glances sideways at Irillium. She's drinking a glass of water, her hair still ruffled and messy. *Even like this she's still attractive. I should apologise to her for yesterday.* He thinks with a slight blush.
"Even so, if she can't have self respect at home, how can she uphold the family name outside of the house?" Says Lucith, pushing the subject.
"How is it that every single time, without fail, you find something to complain about where Irillium is concerned." Victor says, becoming more agitated.
"Well maybe you should ask Irillium that. If she wasn't so useless maybe I'd have less to complain about!" Lucith says.
Irillium pauses in the middle of eating. And for the first time since the argument started, one can see she's listening to what is being said.
"Lucith!" Victor shouts angrily.
"You never should have brought this orphan unto the house! All she's done is ruin everything!" Lucith shouts back. Just then a loud crack echo's in the room, and everyone's attention is drawn to Irillium. Her eyes are dead set on Lucith, and the glass that was in her hand a moment ago has been shattered by her grip. Pieces of glass are lying on the table, along with stray drops of blood.
"Lucith thats enough..." Maya says shakily.
*This is completely mad.* Yosen thinks.
"Irillium are you ok?!" Victor says with concern. Irillium keeps her eyes on Lucith, every fibre of her being wants to destroy him. The anger inside her is indescribable.
"Oh my god Irillium, quickly we need to stop the bleeding!" Galvin says as he gently grasps her wrist to examine the cuts. Lina looks at Lucith and then at Irillium.
"You've really done it now Lucith..." She says.
