The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1872

Chapter 1872: Eating Is Not A Race

Karl watched with great amusement as the little ones were brought another round of breakfast, and Lotus’ two partners joined them at the table.

Presumably that would be to teach the kids some sort of table manners, but mostly the bear and dragon just wanted to get a better look at the new people, to see what was so entertaining about them that it had Lotus making a special breakfast.

Naturally, they got a customized breakfast as well, but they were bonded to Lotus.

These hatchlings weren’t trying to steal their spot, were they? They shouldn’t be, they belonged to Tessa. But you could never be too careful, even if your opponent wasn’t fluffy.

They knew their mom entirely too well, and she was the sort to get immediately swayed by the presence of new cute and fluffy things, so they couldn’t let their guard down for a minute, or they would end up with even more siblings.

Though, these ones were already kind of family, right? Didn’t that put them off limits?

The hatchlings took their cue from the other young beasts, and began to mimic their methods of eating. Even Seraphina began using a claw to chop her food to bits, then eating the bits one at a time.

{This takes too long.} She realized.

Tena giggled. {It’s not all about speed. If you eat it slow, you get to taste it for longer.}

That was a great bit of wisdom that they had not considered.

So, they all began to eat in a more elegant and measured manner so that they could enjoy the flavour of their food instead of simply stuffing their faces full of it.

That was also significantly less messy than the original option, and the hatchlings didn’t have any particular plans for the day other than finding a way to eat again once they were done eating.

That was as far as they had planned.

So, having the bear and the older dragon with them was perfect. They were paired with the Auntie who cooked, so if they stayed nearby, there would always be food.

However, they didn’t have to make plans because everyone else had made plans for them.

Tessa wanted to introduce them to the other hatchlings from the last batch, Lotus wanted to go play in the grass, Thor thought he should introduce the boys to the smashing posts, and Opal wanted to show the little ones around the forest.

She just couldn’t tell Tessa that was where she wanted to take the little ones, or the bossy momma dragon would go and inspect the game show setup that she had created in advance, and that would ruin the whole surprise.

Once the plates were emptied for the third time, the little ones were getting sluggish, so Thor cleaned them all up and put them down for a nap.

He was originally going to put them in two beds, one for girls and one for boys, which was how his Herd had done it when he was little. But there were only five little ones here, with only one girl.

And the boys didn’t want to sleep separately because a red dragon was very warm.
