After their discussion, they went back inside, trying to calm Violette, who was practically cheering like she was watching a sports game or something.
Alexander admonished her lightly, telling her that meddling was very inappropriate. Kary chimed in, saying that she didn't need it either, since she had already planned to hijack him, anyway.
This sparked laughter from the two girls, who looked at Alex's bewildered face. They then sat in front of the television, watching some anime that Violette had picked.
The sofa was large enough for six people, but that didn't stop Kary from cuddling up to Alex. He was uncomfortable about it at first, but quickly stopped thinking about it, as he started feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
Around five in the afternoon, Alex got up to cook dinner. It was nothing too complicated, and any abled adult could pull off steaks, asparagus, and mashed potatoes.
