19 I Just Felt Like I (1/2)

After a good night's sleep Linri felt invigorated. When he went to take a shower he saw that his face really had healed. He never doubted Lyra's words, but still seeing it first hand reminded him again that this was not his world. Linri's will to get stronger rose by a notch.

Once he was done with his shower Linri went down to kitchen for breakfast. His father and mother was sitting across each other and Jaime was not there yet. Linri sat beside his father. He did not know if Jaime would hit him again but it wouldn't hurt to be safe right?

While Linri was eating his toast with Marmite Linri saw Jaime sitting down while yawning.

”Oh yeah Dad.”

”Hm?”

”Today I have to visit a friend with Jaime. Is it alright if we postpone the training after we return? I don't really wanna go there covered in sweat” asked Linri.

He knew that Arkady would not mind if he went even without asking him but he just asked out of formality.

”Yeah sure suit yourself” said Arkady nonchalantly.

So as soon as they were done eating Jaime and Linri left the house and got on the subway.

”By the way you know how to act right?” asked Linri to Jaime standing next to him.

”What do you mean 'act'”

”You know. We are going to meet with Brie. She was very close to Jaime and in other words to 'you'. If you were to act like your usual self our cover would be blown and it would be hard to explain. We also have to decide on a cover story for your absence in other words the danger I told Brie about”

”Huh, fooling Brie will be a piece cake you don't need to worry about that” said Jaime confidently.

”Oh, is that so? Come then hit me with your best 'Jaime' impression then Ms. Spark” said Linri sarcastically. It was obvious that he was not really taking her seriously.

Jaime gave a death stare to Linri. These two days she got really annoyed with him which surprised herself since she was very hard to annoy. She also tried to get along with everyone.

”Wow you got Jaime's stare down. Now let's hear the impression”

”You know that if you continue to act like this you will return home in a wheelchair right?” said Jaime coldly.

”Hm, nice joke but maybe something a little less threatening?”
