DURING LUNCH

Eva looked up smiling, her hands spread out in the air as she saw Freya step into the big dining hall with the rest of the ancients. They were done feeding.

Freya cooed in the air, before stepping around the table, aware that the rest had stopped eating, to stare at them.

Freya lifted Eva in her hands, and took the little girl's seat, keeping the little Eva on her lap. She turned aside to Maya who smiled back, wanting to ask her how the feeding went, but furrowed when she didn't know how to ask that question, how to ask how a feeding went, how they caught the humans and fed on them.
