Gloria, seated with her family at another table, watched the commotion with an amused smile. Liana had moved onto Azariah's lap, swinging one leg casually over both Qamara and Enania, pinning them in place with effortless elegance.
Edwyrd, who had been watching the scene, glanced at Gloria and tilted his head.
"Um... Gloria?"
"Yes, brother?" Gloria nudged her glasses up.
Edwyrd pointed with his lips toward where Liana sat with her sisters, his arms crossing.
"Oh, that?" Gloria smiled, crossing her arms under her breasts. "Liana must be planning something for them. Knowing her smile, I'd guess she's planning their training. Something to keep them busy during the vacation."
"Oh."
Edwyrd nodded, then turned his head back toward them.
"L... Liana! My leg! My leg!"
Qamara tapped repeatedly on Liana's leg, her voice rising in panic.
"Ara~ It will be a good time for sisterly bonding~ Don't you agree~?"
"No!"
Enania wiggled desperately, trying to free herself from Liana's leg.
