"Cancel the engagement? " Mark shouted after hearing his parents.
Perry and Mark's parents' had talked about things. The conversation went along the lines of them already getting an Elemental, so they no longer needed their protection. While they talked, I was communicating to their Elemental, Air.
She tried to get me to convince Mevis to cancel the cancellation of the engagement.
I tried to convince her not to convince me.
Mark's mother snapped at me, "Boy! What are you talking about with that dumb girl? "
"Dumb? " I asked her.
Mark's mother sighed, "She doesn't even talk. What kind of Elemental doesn't know how to talk? She's so dumb she can't even differentiate red and blue! "
Air tried to stop me from speaking back, holding my sleeve.
I ignored her and asked Mark's mother. "Ma'am, what part of that makes her dumb? "
"Are you speaking back to me? "
"What else am I doing? Are you slow? She knows how the world was created, endless years of existence in her memory. You, a human, with the mere memory of forty years, think she is lower? "
She stood up, slamming the table.
Air was tugging my sleeve heavily. I looked back to read her expression. She was telling me to stop. I turned to Mevis, who was basically ignoring everything. I sighed and said, "Ma'am, I don't think it is polite to make a scene in a dining hall. "
She sat back down after some insistence from Mark's father.
Mark continued to glare at me.
I looked back at Air, who was relieved. I went to the kitchen, bringing out a cake. I had to refrain myself from adding poison into the cake. I brought it out and cut a slice for everyone. Mevis pulled me aside and asked, "Why are you intentionally angering them? They have Air with them! "
"I can't? " I replied.
"No. Just leave it at that for today. "
"Fine. "
I sighed and walked towards, still refilling their water. Mark got ready and held a candle stand. When I walked by, he planned to light my clothes on fire. I walked by, extinguishing it with my fingers. He looked at me in shock. I took it from his hands and placed it back on the table, the candles lighting up again.
