When he finally finished farming, he wiped his hands on a towel and walked back toward the house.
A quick bath later, he joined everyone for dinner.
The dining room was warm, lit by soft golden lights.
The table was filled with food Emily and Alice had helped prepare.
Isaac ate, but his thoughts were somewhere else.
"Alright. You guys go sleep. I have some work," he said suddenly.
Emily blinked. "Work? At this hour?"
"Is it about the Sinkhole Worms? You said you were going to test something tonight." Alice asked.
Isaac shook his head. "Not that. I just need to talk with Professor Catherine."
"Huh?" Celia leaned forward with a smirk. "What kind of work are you two going to do at night—mmph!"
Isaac didn't even look up as he used telekinesis to shut her mouth.
Celia made muffled protests and waved her hands dramatically.
She knew how Alice reacted when she heard stuff like that, and she still said it just for fun.
Isaac decided to leave her for that for a while.
