Volume 0 (59): Dread for a decadent civilization.

Chapter 59 : Before the Classes start.

Marshack and Thalia continues their conversation for a couple of minutes, until Dlanesh arrive and interrupts them.

The latter is wearing a dark grey sport top and shorts that accentuate her thighs and ass cheeks.

This attire is similar in design to the one Oxxana used yesterday, and Thalia is employing this particular type of clothes too.

—Are you going to flirt with him all morning?, or you already tired yourself from a light jog?.

Dlanesh questions makes Thalia to blush a little, she is not flirting and jog shouldn't be a problem.

The Fof'blir female recovers the composture, replying a bit flustered —We have just a casual talk … , B-Bverxkka, you want to jog with me-us?, i mean us.

Marshack's usual stoic voice express nonchalantly —I have to decline Onice, as Ladnnia mentioned, the Gravity here is so low that there is no value for me to waste my time on such action as a "Light Jog".

The following Standard Days have a consistent pattern for Marshack.

Talking in the mornings with Thalia, being joined by Bethzave Dlanesh or even Veronnika, after that, he keep studying the databases on his Slaidt for the rest of the Day until he eats with the company of the previously mentioned females.

With the control he has over Gravity, training himself while reading is a normal occurrence since ever for him, in fact, most of the time, he is constantly checking the information he has gathered, especially if is related to the Oldest Hûrngöth.

He continues to stare at Marshack even when other Entities are present on the Lobby of the Resident Barracks, taking seats all over the place or having a breakfast.

In the next seconds, Veronnika sits near Marshack on his left side, after a bit of time, Thalia do the same, but on his right side, letting the two to hear her voice.

—Good morning, Do you know him Bverxkka?.

—Good morning Onice, and no, it is the first time i saw him …

—Good morning Gorgeous; Says Veronnika, smiling seductively to the femele Fof'blir.

—Good morning "Veka"!.

{She is being more cheerful} Thought Marshack replying to Veronnika —Good morning Persea.

The woman puots with fake anger at Marshack —Come on Handsome!, say it like her …

And he obliged to the petition, employing Onice tone of voice and repeat the phrase he said before —Good morning Persea.

Speechless, Veronnika looks directly at Marshack while Thalia laughs loudly —That was very literal!.

Sarcasticly he replied —I just did what she asked.

Embarrassed, Veronnika clarify the intention of her words —I was referring to the way she call's me.

Thalia knows Marshack a little bit more, so she enlight Persea —Be really specific then, i told you before, the way he thinks is different to us.

The Vöulmmurn pouts again —I realized early, but both of you like to tease me, a lot, am i right?.

An innocent —Who knows?; Escape Thalia's lips and Veronnika doesn't separate her sight from the Apex —Handsome, be honest, please …

—I am always honest, and i tolerate your presence more than the majority of Entities here on the Barloen College, otherwise, you couldn't be near me at all.

Seductively she get closer to Marshack, half ignoring he basically said is not interested in her —Then i see you tonight?.

—Not at all …

After the matinal Jog and another failed seduction from Veronnika, Thalia and Marshack leave the Resident Barracks due to the former Vöulmmurn suggesting something acceptable and for once, not related to sex.

—Let's go to eat!.

Thalia agrees —Now that you mention it …; But Veronnika interrupyt her —I notice yesterday, but you don't eat daily Gorgeous, what about you Handsome?.

{Yesterday?, so they were together}.

—Unnecessary, for a few days more; He said and Thalia responds afterwards.

—Well, i could wait 2 more days without a problem.

Zergirion impertinent voice sounds behind the three, changing to a scolding tone, completely different from his easygoing or wise demeanor shown by him during the small party —No!, both of you are wrong, it is not about how long you can last on the food you ate, it is about how well do you use that food to keep your body in optimal performance, furthermore, it could be the last time you can eat properly, so don't be cocky and take advantage of having access to food, and here, food is fantabulous!.

In a mocking tone, Thalia reply —Sure Mom; And Zergirion actually turns into a female throwing a blowing kiss with a cute wink before returning to his usual Male Form.

Letting Veronnika and Thalia stupefy while provoking a short but genuine laugh from Marshack who accepts saying —Lead the way.

{I never saw someone with that prowess of transformation, or give a thought about his approach to nutriments, i truly didn't think on it or on that way, food was never scarce in Hûlfhednär even if didn't nurture me, or after the diminished production after the several catastrophes that occurred back then, our technology and administration network, never failed in providing sustenance, at least until recently, and fortunately, the hardworking Hûrngöth manage to surpass this limitation with relative easiness due to our databases, technology and Evolution}.

Thalia and Marshack follows Zergirion and a not so happy Veronnika to a certain building near the Main Building.

Inside, there are multiple tables with different types of food already ready, this food has a note with the Name, Quality, Category, Nutritional Level, Nutritional Index and cost in Crwdz.

Veronnika speaks frankly —Choose whichever one you want, but be careful, there is only that dish, so you can't repeat it unless you find it again.

{That is inefficient, but somehow entertaining, especially with how the [Bicromy] continues to be reliable}.

They split up to review the available options, for his part, Marshack is only interested in the ones that are Quality 15 and Category -9 or higher and surpass at least 3.70 of Nutritional Level.

{This will ensure that i can eat properly, it is possible for me to experiencing flavor if the ingredients are good enough?}.

So he take three dishes.

Marshack is Grabbing 2 food plates with his hands end the 3rd one with his Epsidion feline tail that has 3 terminations and the fur is the same shady ofhyis darkest violet purple hair.

He walks back to the table that Zergirion Veronnika and Thalia are using, taking a sit while leaving the plates on the table and retract the tail inside his body.

The las part surprised Onice —Wow, you have show us before, but you have telekinesis!.

Zergirion is confused and comments —He is not using telekinesis, is his tail, you are not evolved enough to see it.

Veronnika playfully asks —Oh, and is a useful one, can i touch it Bverxkka?.

Thalia blushes and scolds the not so lady like friend she has —Veka?!, have manners and wait, we can touch it after we finish eating!.

Sarcasticly Marshack added —I have Horn's too, just to let you know.

Veronnika gets really excited —Oh really!, is that a proposal?!

—Not at all …

Veronnika pouts but seriously state —Come on Handsome, don't be like that, just give me a night, i promise, that you are not going to regret it, and if you do, i don't bring back the matter again.

—I am going to think about it, i give you my answer later.

—Ok, Handsome …
