Inder Sephtis [7]

In the dining hall, a family of three, along with two other guests who joined them, all sat together eating quietly.

"How are things going in school, Inder?" the man sitting opposite the black-haired boy asked, glancing at him.

"And that's bullying." Senara scoffed, "How could she ask that when I was standing right beside you?"

"Say that to him," Senara grumbled, pointing at Inder, "...Just because he grew a little taller, he stopped acting like a good boy."
