Chapter 12: The man (2)
It was about 5:30, dinner was just about to happen when Sunni reached these conclusions and Dionysus came knocking on his door. "You should come out Sunni, it's about to be dinner and my family would love to meet you!" So Sunni got up and got dressed, a white chemise with grills and black slacks laid out for him by the servants earlier and headed downstairs.
As soon as he sat down next to Dionysus he started to eat, everyone look at he and he looked back questioningly. No one told him why they looked at him like that, so he continued eating until he was done. Which just so happened to be the time that Dionysus' Dad sat down. When he sat down and took his first bite everyone else started eating as well. It took about 20 minutes for everyone to finish so Sunni sat there like an idiot. Then another 20 for dessert, with fortunately this time he waited and got to enjoy his food the same time as everyone else without having to sit and wait.
As he ate he took in everyone appearance, trying to gauge something from them. Though it was weird he was quiet, as the table was bustling with life, everyone trying to talk to him to try and see what kind of person he was, side conversations, and Dionysus didn't even have a large family. So he sat there looking stoic while secretly panicking on the inside because he didn't know what to say to his friends family.
After dinner and dessert Dionysus ominously told Sunni to follow him while holding a plate of fist separately prepared for him. As they made their way up to Dionysus' room it was silent save for the footsteps. When they got there Dionysus told Sunni to close the door behind him. He obliged. Dionysus went to the window, opened it, sat in a chair next to it, then waited. For 3 minutes they said nothing to each other as Sunni stood by the door. Suddenly they heard a soft meow, then a black cat with green eyes jumped on the window sill, meowed, then jumped into Dionysus' lap to eat the fish. Dionysus visibly flinched as the cat started making biscuits.
Then Dionysus started petting him and he softly meowed and made a pleased expression. Then Dionysus started talking. "I asked you to come up here so I could show you him, his name is kitty, named him when I was really young as you can tell. But now it's the only name he responds to. He's the only one I can really confide in, I wanted you to meet him cuz I think he'll like you, I thought you might've been scared because black cats are taboo, so I wanted to show you how nice he could be first."
The cat looked at him the bounded over and rubbed his leg. Such a cute cat.
