Persuasion

"Hey, Kanaru, you're here!" Puri perked her dog ears up at the distraction. She quickly got off her seat and came to carry Lufian. "Oh, wee little baby-baby, are you hungry? Do you want to be carried by Miss Puri tonight? Let's eat some good food!"

"You can't feed meat to a baby." Fran groaned as if she couldn't keep her mouth shut any longer. However, when she swept her gaze to find Kanaru, she just flinched and stuffed food into her mouth. The spoon even hit her front teeth, but she just ignored the pain.

Kanaru figured something else happened before midnight. When he made another sweep across the faces at the table, he finally realized what was happening. Unlike the other times the former members were over… Henrik was at the table with them. He was not even eating, only holding the knife as if prepared to stab anyone who dared to press a finger on him.
