Fenton: *Fenton looked curiously into the contents of the fridge. Having not had cherries before, he didn't know which was which. Was he just supposed to eat the entire freezing box?* ._.;;
*Mastema's eyes fix on Eecheb's averted, blue eyes* Oh? Then I would like to hear whatever your reasoning is. Also, you did not answer my last question. I can not guarantee that there will be equal division of attention among you and your siblings by your mother and I, but I can say that either of us will listen if you have something to say Eecheb. Keep that in mind. And incase you feel differently, I am trying to be sensitive to your feelings right now, but this could be a very important lesson Eecheb, and thusly it will be difficult however you handle it*

*Trilla has to use a bit of muscle to get the lid off of the jar, it had been a little snug. Sitting down, Trilla puts the lid on her lap, then tries to pluck one of the bright red cherries from the jar*
Trilla: >_o; Mmn... ^o^ Got one!
*Trilla holds up the cherry for Fenton*
Trilla: o___o This is a cherry, its yummy! heart
*Eecheb certainly was being difficult, more than likely in part to being a loner most of the time. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing to be out on his own, but to not let anyone close, that was a problem. There also seemed to be a growing agression in the child. Perhaps one day he would become a skilled fighter. The we, the boy spoke of was himself and Trilla*
Eecheb: stare Micha acts like he's better than everyone else. scream Well he's not!! gonk He gets other things that we don't get, and gets to go outside, and doesn't get stopped by Proto all the time, and--
*At about this point the child was starting to blubber*
Eecheb: crying I hate him...

Fenton: Mew? >> *Fenton looked at the cherry for a moment, then leaned forward and sniffed it a bit. After that, he starts to nibble on it, and then when he's tasted it he sucks it into his mouth whole and eats it* ^^ mew!
*Mastema just watched Eecheb for a moment. Maybe now was a point that he could build on Eecheb's loyalty towards him. Mastema crouched down a bit, closer to Eecheb but not very close* I understand. Whether or not Micha believes he is "better" than you and for what reasons I can not say. However, Micha is no more free to leave this tower than you are. Also, Micha has been stopped by Proto on one or more ocassions. Eecheb, I do not hold your brother in higher respects than you. *It was a partial lie..... maybe* Perhaps your brother is unique in the fact that he remains silent, but you have also shown your own specialties. The most noticable would be your second pair of wings. I can imagine you endured a great deal more pain than Micha or Trilla..... and I commend you for that. It is also the reason your mother had to go to a few extra lengths to design your robes

*Trilla giggles and mimics Fenton, pulling out a cherry for herself, then gets another for Fenton to try*
Trilla: whee See, they are good! heart
*Whether or not Mastema's "sweet talk" was working on the boy, was still unclear. He still appeared to be blubbering somewhat, and still wouldn't look at Mastema at all. Perhaps he was thinking about what Mastema had said, or perhaps he was considering how he should strike at his brother the next time*
Eecheb: .........

Fenton: ^^ whoo! *Fenton agrees with Trilla's sentiment and just gnaws on each cherry offered to him*
*Mastema watched Eecheb for a moment, half wondering what he was thinking, but putting that aside* Perhaps your brother does believe he is better than you..... however, you should not fall for his ploy and simply attack him. Surely that would make him feel succeeded in his attempts. Hmm..... *Mastema thought for a moment, then stood up* Eecheb, has your mother yet to tell you the story of Cain and Abel?

*Soon enough Trilla and Fenton had finished off the entire jar of cherries. Trilla looks around, then down to a drain in the floor. The last of the chocolate milk Eecheb had been drinking, was dripping in the drain*
Trilla: >.> Eecheb said it was good.... but it was brown. Does Fenton know if brown tastes good?
*Eecheb semi turns his eyes in Mastema's direction. Nana had not read or told him or the others of that story to his knowledge or memory*
Eecheb: .....Cain and Abel?

Fenton: mew? >> *Fenton blinks in response to the question and looks down to the dripping chocolate milk* mew ._. *Fenton shook left to right in response*
*Mastema nodded* Indeed. It is a very old story of two brothers..... twins. It seems quite similar to what is happening between you and Micha... should this continue. *Mastema was now trying to catch Eecheb's interest. If the boy did not pay attention or notice the similarity, there was no point in telling the old tale*

*Trilla watches Fenton shake back and forth, taking the answer as no. Then again what one being likes, isn't necessarily what another likes*
Trilla: >.> So brown doesn't taste good? What about..... orange?
*Eecheb continues to listen to Mastema's lament, and after a few moments he responds by turning to look at Mastema in question. At least Mastema's ploy was working somewhat*
Eecheb: >.> ?

Fenton: *Fenton had actually said it didn't know what it tasted like.... but he couldn't exactly translate himself* ._. mew? *The whomper just squeaks in question*
*Having Eecheb's attention, Mastema decides to tell the basic overview of the story* Cain and Abel were twin bothers, just like you and Micha, only they did not have a sister. They grew together under god's watchful eye. Then, one day, each of them made their own offering to God. God accepted Abel's offering..... but rejected Cain's offering. For this, Cain became very cross, angry that Abel's gift had been accepted while his own turned down. Later, Cain and Abel went to the fields together
It was there that Cain rose up against Abel. Cain murdered Abel.... killed him. *Mastema stressed the "killed" part so that Eecheb would make the connection between murder and kill*
Soon after, God came upon Cain and asked where Abel was. Cain responded that he did not know, saying that he was not Abel's keeper. However, God found out that Cain had murdered Abel, and confronted Cain with this knowledge. The truth of his actions brought to him, and the consequences now known, the weight of his crime was too much for Cain to bear. God then scarred Cain with a mark and banished him to the land of Nod on the East of Eden.
*Mastema looked back down to Eecheb* Cain took his revenge upon his brother and still lived on. However, in doing so he was cursed with his own guilt, and forsaken, exiled from his beloved home by the very being he once sought to please. *Hopefully, Eecheb would be able to find a message, Mastema's message, within the story's moral*

*Trilla couldn't make much out of the "mews" which Fenton made, so she would have to judge things for herself. So far she had stuck to only red food, but she would have to brance out at some point. There was a world of flavor for her to explore, and for the moment she was feeling adventurous*
Trilla: >.> Wanna try other stuff?
*Mastema's story just brought around more questions from the boy, who oddly made nothing of "murder, and kill". This was the first time he'd ever heard about god, oddly enough and probably for good reason. He also didn't know about Nod or Eden, these places afterall existed long before he ever did, and they were not within his home. Eecheb would have giggled or laughed at the rhyming words, but due to Mastema's more serious tone, he chose not too. If Eecheb pondered over the story later on, perhaps its meaning would finally sink in*
Eecheb: >.> God? Nod? Eden? Banished? Cursed? Forsaken? Guilt?
*The boy seemed to go on and on, with his questioning. Perhaps Mastema should have used..... smaller words. Sometimes his way of speach was hard to understand, especial for a child*

Fenton: mmmm >> *Fenton looks around a bit as he decided. Fenton eventually gives a positive squeak* whoo! ^.^
*Mastema chuckled. Eecheb had missed the point almost entirely* For the purpose of this story, God is just the name of someone Cain and Abel wished to please. Eden is where they lived, and Nod was close to it. By cursed, I mean Cain was forced to live with the crime of killing his brother for the rest of his life. Both banished and forsaken mean to be "thrown out." Cain was sent away from his home. Guilt..... that is an emotion.... more or less, a great sadness.

*Trilla giggles at Fenton's "whoo", then gets to her feet. Fenton was still on the floor. Trilla puts a finger on her lip and looks around at the variety of foods*
Trilla: >_> Hnn. What does Fenton want to try first?
*Eecheb recoils a little, with a pout on his face he looks away again*
Eecheb: ....does that mean I'm banished? gonk

Fenton: ._. mmmm.... *Fenton looked at the fridge, rather menacingly* mmm ._. Mew! *Fenton, for some reason, leapt at the open fridge, hit a shelf, and fell back to the floor in a daze* @_@ mrrrr.... *After which, an apple rolls offf the shelf and hits Fenton yet again* @.@ krrr.....
*Mastema grinned lightly, shook his head, and looke towards the wall* No.... not at all....... you have not yet killed your brother. *That was meant to be a hint to Eecheb at what could be a result should he slay his brother*

*Trilla looks down at the tiny dazed whomper in question. Fenton was indeed a strange creature, but amusing at times*
Trilla: <.<; You wanna eat that?
*"Yet", such an interesting word at that. It could open up a world of opertunity. As long as he didn't kill Micha, then he wouldn't be banished. That didn't mean he couldn't try again right? Even if he did slay Micha, where would he be banished too? That was something else he wanted to know, yet... not*
Eecheb: >_> Hmm...

Fenton: *Fenton just remains dazed for the moment. It was a double K.O. for him* x.x mrrrr~~ *He rolled slightly*
*Mastema looked at Eecheb for a moment. It was time to hit the child where it hurt* I see.... still thinking of ways to get at your brother hmm? Oh I can only imagine how much it would hurt your mother.... to find one of her sons hurt or possibly dead.... and then to know that her only other son will have been the one responsible. It would probably tear at her very heart. *Mastema kept his eyes closed for the moment. He would listen to see if his words had any effect*
