-Two Days Later-
The trio of Kaya, Eloise, and Delia sat at their usual table in the Cafeteria. Breakfast was well underway and they expected Caius to have arrived and joined them already.
"Do you think something happened to him?" Eloise asked.
"I sure hope so," Delia said with a snort as she cut a piece of meat with her cutlery and raised it to her mouth to chew on.
"No, you don't," Kaya told her mostly offhandedly.
Delia shrugged but said nothing to that.
Of course, Kaya was right and Delia didn't want Caius to have been hurt. If he had been, how would she learn those Von Helsing ways and beat him up in the future? It certainly wouldn't be a worthy feat if he were handicapped before their duel.
She refused to think of the other things she'd be missing out on with him injured. She didn't want her face to turn red right now and signal to the other two at the table about where her mind was.
