Chapter 40: Morning Habit
Lily knew, Thea was an abnormally talented girl, the cooking she had learned over a really, really, long period of time, Thea learnt in 12 years, even improving on top of that. It stayed strange that Thea preferred Lily's cooking over her own, but she enjoyed that part of Thea, and now with this punishment Lily had the perfect excuse to eat her daughters food.
As Lily sat there drooling, waiting for Thea's dish, Thea meanwhile was going all out, using spices and salts she had taken from home to make the fish taste as great as it possible could.
Thea took 10 minutes to cook the whole fish, using the fire Lily had started in combination with a flame she made with magic carefully cooking the fish to perfection. Although the meal didn't look fancy, as soon as Lily and Thea took a bite they were sent to heaven.
Thea enjoyed the meal, it tasted better than any fish she had ever had, while she was eating she started remembering nostalgic memories of her past life, which she had slightly forgotten about already.
Lily on the other hand had thrown away her ladylike image and was stuffing her face, she loved the fish so much, she sometimes forget to breath, only to calm down when she started running out of oxygen.
Thea had cooked a large meal, but with how the two were eating, the fish was gone after a mere 15 minutes. That was 15 minutes of nonstop eating and now the two laid on the floor, full but satisfied.
The two laid there, not speaking, just looking up at the night sky, until Thea asked a question.
"So how do you silent cast?" She asked.
"Fufufu, why are you so impatient dear? We have 2 weeks to learn, tonight, let's just go to bed on time, we woke up early and ran for a whole day, tomorrow I'll start teaching you. How does that sound?" Lily asked while warmly smiling to Thea.
Thea got up and walked around the fire to her mother and reached out her arm.
"Like a plan." Thea said while smiling. Lily took Thea's hand and Thea pulled her up, they walked over to their tent and cuddled each other to sleep.
The next morning Thea woke up, she looked at her mother who was next to her using her own daughter as a body pillow, Thea didn't mind but it did make times when she woke up earlier a little more challenging.
Thea started the challenge and used her [Mythically Dexterous Muscles] to their limit to try squeeze out of Lily's grasp without waking her. 5 minutes later she finally got out of the tent, and started to stretch, even if she didn't need to do this, she enjoyed to.
Over the years Thea had learned to control her muscles to make very precise movements, not only did she greatly improve her hair control letting her command many strands to do their own thing she could also make inhumane movements and postures, like how she was stretching now.
Thea was doing a handstand with one hand while her other limbs and body were almost like tentacles knotting into each other before sliding out and getting into another knot. Everyone else would think she didn't have bones, but in fact she was just controlling how tight her ligaments holding her bones together were.
After half an hour Thea untangled herself and stood up, satisfied she then used her [Hair Suit] skill for the first time and when she did this, her hair extended and wrapped around her body, this was the same as when it was a passive skill but then something else happened.
Each individual strand, started combining with the other, until Thea's body was covered by a smooth white, layer of skin. All you could see was Thea's body shape and two holes in the pure white humanoid figures face, where Thea's eyes looked through.
As Thea stood there, covered in her suit, she felt like she could change its color but not it's shape, which slightly annoyed Thea as her tails had been covered in the suit as well, in the past this wouldn't have been a problem but over the years Thea's tails had increased in sensitivity to the point of even feeling when something was close to it, and now with the suit covering them, it felt suffocating.
Thea was only seeing negative points of this skill so she decided to inspect the skill instead.
[Hair Suit (LVL.MAX): A skill specific to Althea Magna. When you equip the Hair Suit your hair/muscle mass increases and all physical skills get doubled. |Cost: 10% mana per second when equipped.|]
Thea was shocked but quickly opened her status to check if anything changed.
