Dinner was nice and they chatted about their day and accomplishments. Althea asked them first and she listened well. She had heard stories about the new hires, and the new inventions, as well as some suggestions that could really help with their side’s efficiencies.

Soon it was finally her turn to speak, and everyone leaned in to hear.

They were all looking forward to knowing her progress. "What about your experiments?"

Althea was chewing on her fruit salad when Harold asked this. "Chocolates are in process, but while I managed to hasten their growth by a few days so far, it probably wouldn’t be mass-produced for a long time."

"Aww…"

"But…," she paused with a smile, putting her audience at the edge of their seats (literally). "We should still be able to eat some as a group in another 2 months."

Sheila clapped a bit and the others grinned. Chocolate! It was finally within reach!

But Althea wasn’t done with her story.

"Other than that, I can tell you that popcorn is much more possible."

"Popcorn!"

This obviously excited the others very much, with Sheila’s mind immediately going to those nice times she’d watch movies alone with her large-sized popcorn.

Harold beside her also nodded. He immediately made a plan for the inevitable commercialization of popcorn. "I’ll get the Spice-and-sauce factories to come up with different flavor powders."

Inexplicably, his mind moved to the various flavors—from cheese, to barbeque, to sour cream, and to many other flavors.

A moment of silence passed, followed by gulps.

They looked at her and curiously asked for her process, which prompted Althea to speak more about her elements and new skills and how the interlaced together as a single concept. She mentioned how she activated skills by combining them both, and how she combined their functions and uses.

Althea explained it in a way she thought they’d understand, but geniuses simply didn’t think the same wavelength as the others. However, the others did take note of her methods and mused, perhaps they could do the same when they awaken their respective elements.

"It’s amazing," Sheila mumbled. She wondered more about how her water element related to healing primarily because the human body was made mostly of water. As a nurse, she also had a more intimate knowledge of the going ons inside the human body. She reckoned the healing ability was also related to this.

"It’s amazing how everything just seemed… connected," she said, Eugene nodded.

"Maybe everything that had to do with aether are interrelated somehow."

Althea paused a bit as their words echoed.

Connected, eh?

However, the light of idea didn’t really connect for now, and she didn’t go after it either. Dinner was for family and relaxation, not for work.

Anyway, dinner ended soon after and everyone went to their respective abodes. Althea and Garan spent time with each other and the babies in the living room.

"Mwamhammma…"

"Gugumamwghhh…"

The couple watched fondly as the children crawled from point to point, getting a block there, getting a yellow ball here, and then trying to put them together. The couple also played with the babies, filling that night with simple but warm memories with the children.

Eventually, the little things’ eyelids began to feel heavier. This was followed by the babies yawning, showing off their toothless gums.

The couple chuckled as they lifted the babies and put them to bed in their crib. She couldn’t help but admire their adorableness for a while longer until she felt warm hands over her stomach.

The warm hand naturally crawled to more sensitive areas and she moaned when she felt his tongue tracing the back of her neck.
