THEY SWARM TO DINNER AS FLIES TO MEAT, their hum of chatter reminiscent of the somniferous buzz that lingers around a fresh carcass. and she, alive with host’s vivacity, for these are her guests and the games have just begun. a remark from someone who has cleared their plate leaves her chuckling — that was delightful ! they say, naive to the encompassing fact that they haven’t even reached the main course, THE GRAND FINALE.
every glance exchanged with kai carries a thousand words in its midst, a thrumming excitement she can barely contain. but all remains tranquil on the surface until the last bite, carefully concocted in her composure, every detail meticulously stitched. ❛ well, that just about concludes things for the night, i’m afraid. ❜ the act is every bit as exhilarating as the hunt itself, her sorrow as genuine on canvas as if she’d actually felt it. her tongue is numbed of flavour, tension thrilling her nerves.
❛ oh, but the announcement —— how could i forget ! kai, my sweet, will you do the honours ? ❜ an unspoken go-ahead : she cuts the scarlet ribbon, and the race begins.
