Help! My Fictional Knight Is Real?!
Chapter 10
[Scene: The Kitchen – Chaos Incoming]
Seren drags Kieran to the kitchen, exhausted from their previous battle. Rina and Lena follow, both way too entertained.
Seren wagner (fl)
(gesturing at the fridge) Okay, we’re going to teach you how to use modern appliances. This is a fridge.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(narrowing his eyes) …It hums. It is alive? 🤨
Seren wagner (fl)
No, it just keeps food cold.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(opens the fridge, immediately jumps back and reaches for a sword that isn’t there) By the gods, there is ICE inside!
Rina Wagner (fl sis)
(dying laughing) Oh my god, he thinks it’s a demon.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(glaring at the fridge suspiciously) I do not trust it.
[Enter: The Microwave. The Real Enemy.]
Seren wagner (fl)
(pointing at the microwave) This is a microwave. It heats food.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(crossing his arms) You lie. Fire heats food.
Seren wagner (fl)
(dead inside) This also heats food. Without fire.
Seren places a bowl of food inside and presses a button.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(jumping back, eyes glowing with battle instincts) WITCHCRAFT.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(pointing at the microwave, horrified) You put cold food inside, and it whispers to itself… then it becomes warm?!
lena warner (fl bff)
(wheezing) Not the ‘whispers to itself’—I CAN’T.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(pulling out a butter knife like it’s a weapon) I WILL SLAY THIS CURSED BOX.
Rina Wagner (fl sis)
(literally rolling on the floor laughing) HE’S ABOUT TO FIGHT A MICROWAVE.
Seren wagner (fl)
(grabbing the knife before he commits a crime against technology) PUT THAT DOWN. You cannot duel a microwave, you absolute medieval gremlin.
DING! The microwave finishes.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(staring at it like it just spoke in tongues) …It calls for me.
Seren wagner (fl)
No. No, it does not.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(slowly stepping forward, squinting at the food inside) …Is it safe?
lena warner (fl bff)
Only one way to find out.
Seren hands Kieran a bowl of steaming noodles. He eyes it cautiously before taking a bite.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(pauses, chewing, eyes widening slightly)…This is…
Seren wagner (fl)
This is…?
Kieran Valtor (ml)
…Acceptable
Rina Wagner (fl sis)
(mock gasping) OH MY GOD. A COMPLIMENT?
Seren wagner (fl)
(narrowing her eyes) Wait. How do you know how to use chopsticks?
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(smirking) A warrior must always be adaptable
lena warner (fl bff)
No, because why is he casually flexing?
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(pointing at the microwave again, suddenly serious) …But this? This I do not trust.
Seren wagner (fl)
I hate it here.
