– What will you eat? – Khvoyana asked.
– All! – I answered passionately. – I'm hungry as a wolf! How does everything work here?
I turned my head, but I didn’t see the usual distribution anywhere.
– Look, it's simple. Here's the menu. – Lisel handed me a plump book with a worn red cover. – Look for dishes in the “Breakfast” section, and then touch your finger to what you like.
“Don’t just touch it, but hold it a little so that it works,” Volde added to her instructions.
– Understood! – I nodded and began to study the menu.
It turned out to be rich, even breakfast took up at least five pages. Divided into categories, there were dishes for even the most demanding taste. For example, national breakfasts. Ada was able to order northern raw fish and ate it with pleasure, snacking on crispy croutons.
Having chosen porridge with fruit, tartlets with peach jam and herbal tea, I did as the girls suggested. A few minutes later, another air elemental lowered a tray covered with lamb onto the table in front of me. However, he took the lid with him so as not to interfere.
– How amazing! – I was happy.
– Yes. In our boarding house there were often fights at the checkout. One pupil will knock over the tray, then another… – Vilde said thoughtfully.
“And it’s all about someone with whom the world doesn’t agree,” Volde added sarcastically.
The twins were clearly talking about something painful.
– Here you go. And here you don’t have to go anywhere and you don’t have to stand in line. A complete time saver,” Lisel summed up.
I suddenly realized that not all the girls were gathered at our table. Two places were empty.
– Where is Beata and… That blonde? Ricci, I think?
“Beate said she had breakfast at home, and Mallory is sitting over there with her sycophants.” – Lisel pointed her eyes somewhere to the side.
Indeed, the blonde preferred the guys to our company, and now she sat like a princess surrounded by ladies-in-waiting.
“We are not the right company for her.” – Zikki grinned.
– Well, okay! The guys are nothing but trouble,” Khvoyana noted. – You need to be on your guard. They will take on us again, mark my words.
I even stopped chewing and asked:
– What do you mean?
– You see, Mirre, we are like an irritant for them. Or a challenge,” Lisel explained. “Sooner or later they will try to put us in our place.”
