"Feeling better?" Terran smiled, and Flik groaned.
"I feel like there's a dragon having a temper tantrum in my head...what do you think?" Flik snapped. He took a deep breath. "If I ever get my hands on..."
"Why, hello Master Terran, Sir Flik...mind if I join your company?" Sheena asked, sitting down without receiving an answer.
Flik ignored this new annoyance. "So, how come your sitting here all by yourself, Terran?"
Terran was about to tell them he was waiting for Leli to prepare a special meal for him, but thought better of it. "Oh...just waiting for someone..."
Flik ran a hand through his ruffled hair. "Oh, would you like us to leave, then?"
"Um...er...a..." Terran stuttered. "Just...wait a second, I have to..." He moved to stand up, but it was too late. Leli was already headed toward the table, carrying a huge stack of food.
Sheena eyed the waitress heading toward them. "Ah, they must have known we were coming...what service!"
Terran stood in front of the egotistical Sheena, trying to block his view of Leli. Flik was staring dazedly at the table top, so he wasn't noticing. On the other hand, Leli wasn't noticing his two guests, either. Taking a deep breath, Terran decided he needed to do something.
"Well, FLIK and SHEENA," He raised his voice, emphasizing their names. Leli stopped where she was, the plates of food teetering dangerously. "It's so nice of you two to JOIN ME AT MY TABLE."
Leli apparently got the message because she quickly turned around and headed back towards the kitchen. Unfortunately, her foot caught a loose tile and she tripped, falling forward, dropping the plates of food to the floor.
Terran groaned and covered his eyes, trying to shield himself from the sight of Leli sprawled out on the floor, a five foot spread of broken dishes and ruined food in front of her. The crash, of course, had brought everyone's attention over to her, including Flik and Sheena.
Leli crawled to her knees and looked at the ruined food. "My Souffl�!". She scrambled over to it and began to pick up pieces of the doomed dessert. "My whole dinner..."
Flik immediately noticed who she was and ran forward, grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around. "YOU!"
Leli stared at him a moment, then held up a piece of the dessert. "Uh... Souffl�?"
Sheena joined Flik in staring down the poor girl. "It's her! The girl who kicked me!"
Leli laughed nervously. "Hehe...can't you guys...take a joke? Hehhe..."
Flik shook her by the shoulders. "Where is the other one?"
"I....I....I..." She stammered.
Terran looked around him for some sort of distraction...he had to get Leli out of there! His brown eyes filled with inspiration. He turned to the window and gasped. "Oh my god, look, the Highland Army is coming!!"
Flik and Sheena -along with everyone else in the restaurant- turned to look, muttering to themselves. Leli took this opportunity and fled, promising to thank Terran later.
Terran squinted at the horizon. "Oh...never mind...false alarm." He shrugged and sauntered out of the restaurant.
Flik shook his head. Terran had been acting really...weird...lately. He turned to continue his interrogation of the girl...but she was gone! He cursed and kicked at one of the broken dishes, storming out of the restaurant in search of the girl.
Seyona ran into the courtyard and found Leli doing the same. They spotted each other at the same time. "Leli!"
"Seyona!" Leli stopped and grabbed Seyona, gasping for breath.
"What happened to you?" Seyona eyed Leli's food stained clothing.
"My souffl�!"
"What?"
"I ruined my souffl�!"
Seyona looked towards the restaurant and saw a steamed Flik approaching them. "I think it would be wise to get the sword back.."
"But my sou-" Leli was cut off when Seyona grabbed her friend and started to run out of the castle courtyard.
