The Gluttonous Velcy

Third Person's POV

Though she didn't leave her seat, her clear discomfort was evident.

However, Ethan studied the gleaming golden-yellow meat with curiosity.

He had never encountered something this exotic in either of his lives yet the rich aroma and the way the oil glistened over its perfectly cooked flesh assured him of its quality.

Velcy, on the other hand, wasted no time.

She reached for a massive meat cutter from the cutlery section that looked too big in her small hands, and with focused determination began hacking away at the tail portion.

The other girls watched her awkwardly and their reactions were a mixture of amusement and disbelief as Velcy worked with single-minded devotion.

Ethan smiled slightly before turning to Aurae and gestured for her to join in.

He also gave Virelle an encouraging glance and invited her to try it as well.
