Dasha walked out of the basement backroom, past Savario who was cooking the fish he was known for, and to the tables where food was being served.
"Ah, finally. I was beginning to think you stood us up. Not very gentlemanly of you to keep two young ladies waiting, Professor."
Dr. Thornton, as smirking, proud, and tomato-haired as ever. The classically English woman's remark earned a grimace from Aya Nakamura.
"My apologies." He took a seat at the small round table. The fish was already served. "Please, eat."
Dr. Thornton blemished. "From the Underground? No thank you. I'd rather eat garbage. Ha, I'd probably get less sickness from it too."
Dr. Thorton was one thing, Aya was another. The petite alchemist asked for chopsticks and ate the fried monster fish with haste and excitement.
"Ew."
"You should not be so judgemental, Doctor," Dasha said.
