Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044 - Taming Normalcy - 2

"Eighteen," said Liu, in the tone of someone conducting an inventory. "Almost all of us."

"Yes yes, we know you’re already nineteen," said Taro.

"Almost all of us," Liu repeated, without modulating.

Taro looked at him for a second.

Then he decided the conversation was not going to produce useful results in this direction and let it go.

Anuar served with the efficiency of someone who had practiced the process and was satisfied with how it was going, right up until Li reached the central serving dish before Anuar had finished distributing from it and helped himself directly, with the implicit argument that Anuar’s serving system was less efficient than the alternative system of reaching the dish yourself.

"Li," said Anuar.

"Your food it’s good," said Li, already eating.

"There is an order."

"It’s very good, Anuar."

Anuar looked at Tao for support.

Tao was looking at the garden through the window with the empty expression of someone who had decided that Reed’s garden was genuinely fascinating and that this fascination justified not being involved in what was happening at the table.

Mayo, from her position by the service door, wrote something in the small notebook with the smile of someone recording information about Ren’s childhood friends for future use.

The conversation that followed had the disorder of conversations that happened when many people who knew each other were in the same space without a formal agenda and with food in front of them. Not linear, not organized, branching in several simultaneous directions that crossed and separated with the naturalness of something nobody was managing, following whatever thread arrived next.

Liu described, with a level of detail that started high and kept climbing, the military rank system and common practices he had researched to understand what the first months at the wall would involve. Three phases, a rotation protocol that had apparently changed considerably in recent years due to the constant siege... he even had notes.

Taro listened with the doubtful expression of someone calculating how many parts of the system were actually applicable and how many parts were Liu being Liu.

Larissa asked Ren about the wall sector they were going to cover first, which was a reasonable question that in the context of the table arrived like work that had walked in without being invited. Liora noted this gently.

"We still have three days of rest," Liora said.

"Two and a half," said Larissa.

Mayo still watched Li and Tao with the attention of someone who hadn’t interacted this directly with people of that background before, people who weren’t unusual in the way Ren was unusual but from his ’first world’, just people from a different world than the one she had always occupied, and who she found genuinely interesting from an angle that wasn’t condescending but simply new.
