With a silver spoon, Keith dug into the strawberry cake with the elegance of a diving eagle, and with its same intent.
Scooping up a piece with a strawberry on top, Keith raises it like a bird raises its prey. From visuals alone, he saw glory, from the subtle scent, he sniffed joy. Taking that one bite, was like a rhapsodic sigh of relief.
For that brief moment, his worries were gone, and his mouth couldn't help but to curl into a smile.
Keith:(smiles) Mmmm~
(Click)
Keith:(GLARES)
Ashley: So cute~. It's going straight to my caller ID screen...
Walter: Hey, send it to me too. Might be the closest thing to a baby photo I might get.
Picking up his chair, and turning it around, Keith crossed his legs in a cool manner before he continued to eat his strawberry cake facing away from his family.
Ashley: We weren't making fun of you, we were appreciating your cute side.
Keith:(mumbles) I'm not cute...
Aunt Ashley: You're right. You're Adorable!
Keith:(embarrassed growls)
Ace:(chuckles)
The Samuricks were in the studio apartment of their close relatives. A lovely and quite rich living space, it possessed two floors, three bathrooms, four bedrooms, one large living room, and an open kitchen.
Walter: Uhm... So Aunt Ashley-
Ash: Let's just call me Ash and snip the confusion in the butt.
Walter: Hehe... Alright. Ash. How did you even find out about Keith?
Ash: Well.... Context clues from his fight with the old man... And of course...
Ash: Only their family calls him "old man".
Ace: And it wasn't hard to get confirmation after asking the right people.
Ash: My baby boy here, was so excited to find out he has more family out there.
Ace:(rubs head) You don't have to tell them...
Walter: Well, I'm sure these two are just as excited...
Ashley:(looks away) Yeah, no... I-I'm kinda over these sudden relative reveals...
Keith: I guess...
Walter: Come on guys...
Keith:(glances at Ace)
Ace:(glances back)
Keith:.... You look like you could be tough.
Ace:(smiles) I like to think I am.
Keith: Did your mom train you too?
Ace: Ehh... A bit. Most of what I know is from teaching myself.
Ace: If you want. There's a place on the roof where we can spar.
Keith: Sure.
Walter: Keith, you just got out of a brutal fight.
Keith: Brutal for the other guy...
Walter: You got knocked around like crazy.
Keith: I'm fine. I bit of meditation and I can heal away the injuries.
Ashley: I can teach you this cool instant-healing technique I picked up.
Ace: We aren't fighting to the death. Just a quick spar. I'll go easy on him.
