Summary; Continuing from this post, Cain decided that the best way for Caterina to show her loyalty is to cook them both dinner.
Log;

It was almost time for the both of them to arrive. He should have asked them to come earlier. Though Cain has spent most of the day keeping himself amused by bantering with his neighbors, he grew bored of facing the screen before long. Though it affectively kept him busy, Cain is not the sort who liked sitting still for a long period of time. Especially since this world is working in his favor. Instead for just a mere few hours, his form could easily retain itself for two, three days.

He plopped himself onto the uncomfortable furniture and waited.

"Washed?" Caterina asked, with a frown. "No, I did not wash the potatoes. Though your compliments on the fish are appreciated, I believe whomever the fish was bought from must have taken the bones out, I myself did not do it."

Isaak frowned when Cain complimented Caterina. He was making him look in a gloomy light in front of the Duchess. He finished his fish first, forced himself to swallow that, as a way to display his own satisfaction and improve his image.

“Roses doesn’t have thorns. Fishes don’t have bones,” he mused, feigning innocence and sipped white wine to wash away the bad taste from his mouth.

Cain blinked several times when Caterina mentioned that the potatoes were unwashed and gave the chunk he had been waving a hard, long, stare before dropping it back on his plate and cutting the skin off the potato chunk before popping it into his mouth.

“I’ve heard from either Miss Evelynne or Miss Sunny that the gardens found around here has roses without any thorns,” the blond said. “Perhaps it applies to fishes as well… though how exactly would those fishes swim if it is boneless?”

"Perhaps they float," Caterina suggested helpfully. Then inclined her head, watching.

Isaak's comment caught her attention, was he attempting to impress upon her that the fixes were his doing? She was grateful for that, but wondered why.

Isaak put the empty glass down, grateful the wine had covered the bad flavour. Too much spice. Only Mein Herr could like it. He smiled at Cain when he queried about the fishes.

“We haven’t seen any river or lake, haven’t we?” he asked, furrowing his brows. “This world doesn’t follow the logic ours does. Thus impossible feats like roses without thorns, eggs falling from the sky, everblooming lilies and fishes lacking bones aren’t oddities.”

“Wouldn’t it be a sight to see fishes floating through the air though?” Cain said, finishing the last of his potatoes before folding his napkin and placing it on the table.

The blond leaned back contentedly. He loved to talk, especially after a meal. “The reason that I like this world is because it does not follow logic. Or perhaps, this world is logical and our world is not. You can’t say that it is not a possibility. Different worlds may have different sort of logic that apply to them but not to us. ”

"That is quite a philosophical line of reasoning, Mein Herr," Caterina replied indulgently and lay a hand on his shoulder, "Shall I clear your plate now?" This ... had not been so bad. Cain was rather like Abel. An evil, insidious Abel who was more spoilt and selfish.

“Quite profound, my Lord,” Isaak commented, agreeing with a nod. Talking regarding different rules and logic that applied to different worlds made him nostalgic. “However, you are correct. I haven’t spotted floating fishes, however.”

If he did, he would probably think himself delirious first.

“Eisendame, do please take the dishes. I will wash them later,” dismissed the Magician, glancing at Cain. “Mein Herr needs a minute to think of your rank.”

Also, he did not like how agreeable Caterina had displayed herself later on the evening. There was not tension in her body. None the Mage was able to detect. She could not develop a soft spot for Cain, could she? That was absurd to even think about it. No one had a soft spot for Mein Herr. Even Dietrich. The Puppet Master just worshipped the Kreznik.

“I have been keeping up with some reading in my spare time,” Cain said modestly. At Caterina’s words, the blond dropped both hands to the sides of his chair. “Of course, thank you for the great dinner, Eisendame. I enjoyed myself,” the blond Crusnik said cheerfully.

“Well, it does not mean that you have not spotted any means that there aren’t any, Isaak. As you’ve said so earlier, logic does not apply in this world. So perhaps we may see fishes floating after all.”

He took a moment to ponder on Isaak’s statement. He would definitely not place Caterina into the same rank as Marionettenspieler, Eis Hexe or Basilisk, but placing her on the same rank as Flamberge may prick at the Duchess’s pride. Internal politics, it hurts his head just thinking about it.
