Zephyr knitted his brows at Erick's words.
He was grateful for everything Erick had done for him, but his feelings ended there, especially after Erick had left him behind at the Association. Now, Zephyr didn't want to give himself more reasons to feel indebted to him. Even the trace of joy at Erick being his first friend had disappeared completely.
"If sharing your food is okay with you. But are the fish in the water really not edible?"
Erick paused before stepping forward, deliberately positioning himself between Zephyr and Lucien. A faint smile tugged at his lips when the two finally separated. He glanced down at the clear water, his golden eyes gleaming slightly as he watched the little fish swimming beneath the surface.
Then, he turned his gaze toward Zephyr.
"They are poisonous. I just checked."
Zephyr nodded, accepting his words.
