CHAPTER 9 - PAGE 4
(Transcript and visual captions below}

      Jack found the meal disgusting, but it was one of those things you just had to do in a dream. His mouth felt bloody and numb, and the meat made him feel like like he was continually chewing his own dead tongue. Theodore watched on, eyes glittering, unblinking in the candlelight. Edith wobbled and attempted to refill a wine glass, and he waved her away.
     "We're done today Edith, you may take your leave. Thank you."
She nodded vaguely and stumbled her way out of the room.
     "It's funny, isn't it?" Theodore said to Jack, "Eating, that is. I have a hard time remembering how to do it. You're lucky you're young still, forks are so easy to forget how to use."
He smiled, and fidgeted with the ratty table cloth as he waited for Jack to finish.

In which Jack 'all-goned' his dinner!

     Years ago, Santi would have felt jealous that Theodore didn't share the meal with him instead, but in modern days he'd come to be more magnanimous. What a scene! It amused him. He had thought Theodore to be more like himself, past all that human-styled romance and carnal desires, but perhaps it was nice for the young man to take a lover. In all their early days Theodore never seemed interested in that, but perhaps he'd changed as well. Santi couldn't help but wonder if this was something he'd be able to use to his advantage later, but chided himself. Theodore was a good ally, no need to turn everything into strategy. Nonetheless, it was a useful bit of knowledge.

Yayyy! Another page I've been waiting to do. PLEASE any French readers correct me. I'm slowly learning the language and hope I didn't embarass myself. xD I'm enjoying the more relaxed schedule, and beginning to plan the bonus material as chosen by you, the lovely! I almost forgot, Halloween is coming, which is also the SECOND anniversary of the Kingfisher! Yayyy!

EDIT: Thanks Basile, Jack & Elsa Arrou for your French help! <3
