Dinner was a solemn affair where not a lot was said. The only one truly speaking at the table was Lady Canarie, and that was to ask the kids about their opinions regarding what they were eating.
Lady Canarie was visibly trying to get close to Caelis and Rin, but it was of no use. Rin did not say anything, and Caelis ignored her attempts.
Despite this open hostility and rejection, Lady Canarie did not give up and continued to press her luck.
Finally, her maid could not take it anymore and, as per her orders, decided to lead the conversation in another direction.
"Lady Canarie, it seems like the kids are rather lonely without Companion Shuu and Emperor Kaiden. So how about you keep them company?"
The maid asked, and Lady Canarie brightened up at her suggestion.
"You are right! I can keep the kids company…but they don't like being with me, right?"
She asked, and the maid already had an answer prepared for her.
