The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1871

Chapter 1871: Dainty Eaters

Before long, the hatchlings were up and moving again, ready to take on the world.

Literally, in the case of Seraphina.

The moment that she woke up, she tried to pick a fight with Lotus, whose nose was only centimetres from her own, only to be held and cuddled by the creature loving beast master.

"Good morning sunshine. No biting, sorry that I startled you. Are you ready for more meat? I’ve just finished cooking."

The little dragon stared at the hopeful face of Lotus and then nodded.

{More meat is good. With a side of meat. And maybe some of those eggs?}

"Got it, we’ll bring you over just the right sort of thing. I’ve got a nice spicy sausage that I can scramble into an omelette for you."

Seraphina had no idea what that was, but it sure did sound good.

Then, her brothers woke up and immediately decided that they needed to wander.

They were not well-disciplined troops.

{Hey, get back here, there is food coming soon. If you wander off you’ll miss it.}

The behemoths all rushed back over to her, checking to see if the food was visible from where she was standing, but Lotus had left the room to do the cooking, and there was nobody else around.

{Trust the nose.} William decided.

That was good logic, Seraphina agreed. She could still smell Lotus and meat, so they could just follow the smell and go to where the food was.

The five small reptiles rushed across the floor of the Guild House in a skittering of claws, making a beeline for the kitchen, where Lotus was adding one more dish to the breakfast that she had already prepared for the hatching beasts.

They had made a lentil stew this morning that she was sure that the behemoths would like, and then there were assorted meats, crunchy vegetables, and now an omelette.

"Oh, good timing. This is the kitchen, this is a favourite place of everyone because it’s where the food is made. But this is not where we eat. You’ll have to go back into the other room." Lotus explained.

The bunnies rushed forward and picked up the hatchlings, petting them softly as they relocated them to the dining hall, where high seats had been arranged so they could eat at the table with everyone else, despite not having humanoid forms.

Somehow, Seraphina couldn’t find it in her to be angry at the fluffy eared creatures for picking her up and relocating her, while the behemoths found the whole thing to be a grand adventure.

They were moving through the air, embraced in warm and soft.

The first to realize that there was a better way to eat lentil stew was Dale. He simply extended his barrier and pulled the contents of the bowl directly into his mouth, one blob at a time.

But Ollie had the more innovative way.

He grabbed the bowl between two thick forelimbs, placed his beak at the lip, and simply tipped over backward.

That dumped the majority into his mouth in half a second, but it was rather messy, and now he had to lick up the rest, since this stuff was just as good as Auntie Lotus promised.

"The bowl stays on the tray. Why are you making a mess?"

Ollie shrugged. {It was taking too long to get the food in my mouth.}

Robert looked up, his entire snout covered in lentil stew. He did not see the problem. He simply buried his face in it and slurped it up as fast as he could inhale.

Tessa wished she could say that her daughter was the dainty eater of the group, but she was viciously tearing into the omelette in front of her like it was small prey that needed to be dismembered, complete with the happy growls and flipping the pieces in the air to catch them in her mouth.

So, the honour of dainty eater went to Dale, as he was the only one not currently covered in his own breakfast.

Or someone else’s as Ollie had managed to get some on William.
