Idle Memories: Part 1

“House Lautrec, huh? How nostalgic,” Mary whispered, gazing at the scenery outside.

“You had forgotten all about them,” Adi grumbled.

In response, Mary smiled brilliantly...and stomped on Adi’s foot with all her strength. “It just took me a little longer to recall them. Only a tiny bit longer.”

“No, you had completely forgo— Ow... Ow! Yowch! All right, already! It just took you a tiny bit longer to recall them!” Adi appealed, acknowledging his loss in face of the pain.

“As long as you understand,” Mary replied, looking victorious.

Alicia watched them happily. “But...” she spoke up suddenly. “It must’ve been difficult for you to be unable to use one eye, Adi.”

“The eye patch was a lot more trouble than the wound. It’s hard to get a sense of distance when your field of vision is narrow,” he explained with a sigh and a shrug.

“It did seem difficult,” Mary admitted, recalling those days.

Back when House Lautrec had caused them turmoil, Adi’s eye had been injured and he had to wear an eye patch for a while. The wound wasn’t grave, however; he’d just decided it was better to hide it than expose it to everyone. As such, he had to live with his field of vision limited for some time. Occasionally, he had gotten caught in doors, or failed to pick up a teacup. Many such little incidents had occurred.

“How nostalgic. I remember once I was having tea with my brothers, and you tripped when you were trying to clean up, spilling the tea onto them.”

“So you remember that, do you?” Adi asked, his expression souring at the painful memory.

His scrunched-up face only made Mary want to tease him more, and she smirked. “It was such an ordeal,” she said, sighing exaggeratedly.

Patrick’s and Alicia’s interest was stirred upon hearing of this incident (and due to Mary’s exaggeration), and they prompted Mary to continue, asking what had happened next.

“Thankfully, the tea was cold, so nobody got burned. But Adi fell down with a great clamor, breaking lots of tableware. It was terrible,” Mary explained.

“I’m sure Lang and Lucian must’ve been angry with him,” Patrick said. “I can just picture them pushing Adi’s head down while Roberto gazes on icily.”

“You’d think so, right?” Mary said meaningfully, her smile deepening. She knew she must’ve had a wicked smirk on her face right now. She stole a glance at Adi, whose narrowed eyes glared at her. It was obvious that he wanted to ask her to be more considerate when she spoke of his personal matters. At the same time, he looked vaguely embarrassed.

Mary nodded triumphantly at him, before turning to look at the other two. They had also noticed Adi’s expression, which only incited them to pester Mary for a continuation.

“So, Adi took a flashy fall while spilling cold tea on my brothers. I reflexively screamed when it happened. And at that very moment...”

“Yes?” Patrick asked impatiently.

Mary grinned. “My brothers and Roberto all shouted, ‘Adi, are you okay?!’ while springing to their feet!” The scene played itself out in her mind’s eye as she spoke.
