I ca in the morning with so groceries to make breakfast for my family, but to my surprise, they were already out of their beds. They decided to flip the whole house on its roof, and by that I an they decided to clean up.
There was so much residual dust everywhere, that they had to literally move everything inside to clean behind the bookshelves, cabinets, and all that stuff. Thankfully there weren't any bugs in Arc, because probably we would have giant spiders living there, and everything would be covered in spiderwebs.
So instead of cooking, I was forced to clean. Imagine my face.
After that, we ate. Yes, I still had to cook, because, for so reason since I went there from the beginning, they unanimously said I did the least, so that's why cooking was put on . I just agreed, because I didn't want to argue, especially when I had sothing stupid planned, and I had to kill their suspicion.
Aaraam'soturi, thanks to the number of ghosts roaming around the flying city, was a fortress. I was strong. I wasn't necessarily fully aware of my strength, but just in case, I felt like I should prepare myself before going there.
I also needed a good excuse, but I already had one in mind. After all, Loistavadvaar was still out there, and it had plenty to offer. I just needed to first bullshit my way there, but it wasn't easy since we barely returned, and not only Celestine wanted to spend so ti together with , but I also wanted to spend so ti with her.
So yeah... It was this weird mix of wanting to go, but also not, and having people to help at ho.
There was also so of Will's whining on the back of my head, so I had this urge, to at least try to do sothing to be better prepared.
- Let's go swim - Celestine suddenly said, bringing back to reality.
We were still by the table, finishing the food. I had a bit of egg remaining on my plate, while everybody else seed finished. Tihana was already gone.
- After eating? - I asked surprised.
- Why not? It's not like any of us will have problems because of that - she rolled her eyes, making Carlita giggle.
- Right - I agreed.
So of the norms from my life before everything had happened were still there, and despite all this ti, when caught off guard I would return to that mindlessly.
- Uhmm... I spoke with Tihana before, and we agreed to go clubbing later if that's ok - Carlita suddenly said.
I was surprised that she was actually asking since she was already an adult. At least technically.
- Well... Your life maybe wasn't as normal as one would like, but you are old enough. Go have fun, just... Don't do anything stupid - I said.
- Can I go too? - Leonel asked.
It was a weird question as it was directed to both and his sister. I shrugged my shoulders. Carlita on the other hand smiled.
- Yes. Why not? - she agreed.
- I would go clubbing too - Celestine joined the conversation. - What do you say?
She looked at , clearly expecting an answer. I already had plans to go to Loistavadvaar, but if I was to say that, she would get angry. I was kinda pissed about that but had to hold my expression still, so nobody would notice.
To tell you the truth, I was never a club person.
- Yeah. Why not? - I put a fake smile on.
- We should go shopping then. There is no way they will let you in, in that - she pointed at with her index finger, but in a way, that was very judgental.
The finger did a circle In the air, then stabbed my very soul.
Both Carlit and Leonel giggled at hearing that. I guess it was quite obvious that my attire wasn't the fanciest.
- What's wrong with my clothes? They are fine - I argued, knowing that it was pointless, but I still wanted to underline my position.
- Peter, we are going shopping. No discussion. You need so different clothes, and I wouldn't say no to a new dress - she said in a way that was kinda annoying, flipping her hair at the end. - Besides, kids need new clothes too.
- They are not kids anymore. They can afford their own shit - I said quite angrily.
- Stop. We are going shopping, and we are going now. You shouldn't be so cheap. This is your family after all - she argued.
- It's fine, mom. We can buy our own stuff. I have so crystals from Petrograd left in my room. It will be enough for and Carmalita - said Leonel.
- See? - I asked her, pointing with an open hand at my soon.
She rolled her eyes.
We bickered a bit more, but I was in a losing position anyway, since practically the whole family was against ti, so I just gave up in the end.
We left the house, originally to go and use the device, but it so happened, that we t Will on the way, and he directed us to a different place. There was actually a very good tailor in the city, who originally ca from India, and set up a small shop, which beco very fast and very popular. Not only in Arc.
Everything popular in Arc was almost always popular everywhere around the world, so the guy suddenly had one of the most famous clothing brands out there. Despite that, he stayed local, just his prices were outrageous.
Because of Will, though, we got the shit for free.
I took a completely black suit with a black shirt and a black tie. It needed so slight adjustnts, but they told it should be ready in a few hours.
Leonel went with sothing similar, but his shirt was white.
Celestine decided to get also a black skin-tight dress, to match , while Carlita took a nice red piece. We only needed to get so shoes to add to that, which we did, in the device. Then we went to a barber shop, which also had a hairdresser. To 'refresh' how we looked.
A few hours later we were back ho, making dinner, practically ready to go and party.
