is always a good thing. I do hope I'm updating enough for you.

“Seems
now they’re planning on continuing the meeting all through tomorrow,” Kai
muttered as tour our sat around the table eating the evening meal. “For what
purpose I do not know.”
“They
just insist on torturing us,” Tala growled, stabbing at his meat with his
fork. “These days they make it seem like a crime to be team captain, and
therefore they must punish us.”
Bryan
smirked. “Better watch yourselves, or they’ll run the meeting for the entire
week.”
Ray
picked up his cup and took a sip to hide his smile as the two shot the elder
death glares that Bryan shrugged off as he continued to eat. For a while there
was silence as the four picked at their meal, Ray once again forcing his food
down and frowning inwardly as he spotted Bryan watching him out of the corner of
his eye. Does he know I’m finding it
hard to eat? Why doesn’t he say something?
Finishing
first, Kai dropped his utensils onto the plate with a clatter before he stood,
turning toward the doorway only to pause as Bryan casually called out after him.
“You’re
on dishes duty,” Bryan informed him in an almost non-caring fashion. “Both
you and the Wolf. Over the last couple of months you have been leaving all the
housework to me and Ray, so now it’s time you started pulling your weight.
Despite what you think, you are not
god, which means you have to do your share.”
Kai
scowled, crossing his arms over his chest. “And what if I say no?”
Bryan’s
cold eyes levelled on him. “That’s a nice car you’ve got in the garage.
Pity if bits starting disappearing off it.”
Kai’s
gaze hardened. “You wouldn’t dare.”
“Try
me.”
Kai
growled, Ray instantly glad for Bryan’s sake that looks couldn’t
kill. Nonetheless Kai stormed toward the sink, taking his plate and glass on the
way passed and dumping them onto the stack Bryan had left for them and turning
on the faucet, looking for the dishwashing detergent.
Ray
smiled toward Bryan, who met his eye and smirked before standing and moving from
the room. Ray finished his own food, downing the last of his drink before taking
up his dishes and moving toward Kai and handing them too him, wanting to get out
of the room. For some reason he had begun to feel uncomfortable around the two
of late, not wanting to be left alone and only at ease when Bryan was with them.
“Ray.”
He
paused, looking toward where Tala stood. “Yeah?”
Crystal
eyes narrowed. “Has Bryan said anything to you of late?”
“No.”
Ray frowned as he felt Kai’s gaze on him. “Only what he said to me at lunch
when he stopped me from using the out of date cream, but that’s it.”
Kai
frowned, blinking, before he reached into the suds and plucked out the cream
container, peeling off the lid and taking a sniff, swearing softly before he put
the lid back on and tossed it into the bin as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
“Man that’s nasty.”
“Well,
it is two months out of code.” Ray looked back at Tala. “But that’s all
Bryan said. Why?”
“Oh,
no reason.” Tala shrugged it off, moving to pick up the tea towel. “Just
thought that perhaps he might have been speaking to you, that’s all. He’s
been blatantly ignoring me of late, and I was wondering if he were socialising
elsewhere.”
“Bryan’s
never bothered having a decent conversation with me, so that’s a no.” Ray
stepped toward the doorway. “Better leave you two to your work. Gotta get it
finished so you can get ready and go after all.”
As
his footsteps retreated down the hall, Kai’s crimson gaze fell upon the
redhead. “What’s on your mind?”
“I’m
not entirely sure.” Tala frowned thoughtfully, picking up a plate. “That
smirk… something’s going on in Bryan’s head, and I have a feeling it has
something to do with Ray.”
“Oh
really?” Kai returned his attention to the sink. “Don’t think he’s gonna
try and steal our boyfriend, do you?”
“Doubt
it. Bryan’s not into that sort of thing, remember? He told us quite
graphically when we asked.”
“But
you still wish we didn’t have to go to the meeting, am I right?”
Tala
didn’t answer, instead picking up the next plate and proceeding to dry it.
