It didn't take very long for them to finish the food, since evidently, by how much Gaia ate, Rael knew that she enjoyed this dinner to the fullest.
So did he, since this was the first time he had seen and talked to her when she wasn't just inside his head as an illusion.
Now, she had her own body, and a high enough rank that made her nearly invincible in the grand scheme of things.
For that, Rael was extremely satisfied.
But he also knew that her current form must have some sort of limits.
Anyhow...
"So how are you feeling after all that food?" Rael asked.
Gaia sipped on a glass of wine and, after setting it down, met his gaze.
"I feel relatively fine. I don't feel hungry anymore, and my powers seem to be steadily coming back. I believe we can go back now, if nothing else is amiss."
Rael's head hurt slightly by how formal she was being.
Still, since this was Gaia, he rolled with it.
