Chapter 7 by Peithos Peithos

Does anyone else show up? Or do you shift gears to something else?

Rachel, your older sister

The sweet scent of strawberries and peaches fills your nose as the kitchen door swings open, revealing Rachel, your older sister. Her chestnut hair is damp from a shower, falling to her shoulders in waves, and she's just slipped into her favorite sundress. She grabs a plate and starts piling food onto it before sitting down beside you.

"Good morning, Ethan!" she sings, giving you a playful nudge with her elbow. "Looks like someone decided to skip the shower this morning."

Her eyes sparkle with mischief, and you can't help but grin back at her. "Maybe I just wanted to give everyone else a head start on the day," you retort, watching as she rolls her eyes in mock annoyance.

You grin sheepishly, too preoccupied with the lingering taste of waffles and bacon on your tongue to care much about her teasing. Nevertheless, you feel the urge to test your new Appraisal ability on her. As you focus your attention on Rachel, a new screen appears:

Rachel Miller
Skills: [Fashion Sense] [Event Planning] [Networking] [Athletics] [Dancing]

You hadn’t really thought of Rachel as an event planner, but it makes sense. She’s an athlete and a bit of a party girl, always going out to some event or club, but now that you see it spelled out, you realize she’s always been good at making friends and coordinating the logistics of whatever is happening. She could probably make that a career if she wanted.

A drop of maple syrup falls from her fork, drawing your eye to where it drips onto her smooth, bare thigh. She quickly wipes her finger across it and sticks the finger in her mouth, savoring the taste as she grabs a napkin. Between seeing [Dancing] in her skills, her sucking on her finger, and her long, toned legs in the warm light streaming through the window, you find yourself suddenly envisioning licking that drop of syrup directly off her thigh. She shifts her legs, and her sundress rides another inch higher.

+50 LP
LP: 400

You take another drink of juice, hoping to hide your blush, and focus on your food. 'Jesus, man, get it together,' you tell yourself. 'That’s your sister.' The fact that you gained a little LP from it does not help reassure you.

Rachel raises an eyebrow at you, obviously curious but not pressing for more information. You quickly turn your gaze to Lily, your younger sister, who is meticulously arranging strawberries on her plate. You focus, and a new screen appears in front of her:

Lily Miller
Skills: [Artistic Creativity] [Nature Knowledge] [Empathy] [Singing] [Music Theory]

"Nice work, Lil," you say, giving her a knowing smile. She blushes slightly, unsure of why you're complimenting her but pleased nonetheless.

Finally, you turn your attention to your mom.

Charlotte Miller
Skills: [Emotional Support] [Culinary Expertise] [Guitar] [Singing] [Home Organization]

'Huh,' you muse internally, 'I guess I see where Lily gets it from'.

"Mom, this is amazing," you say between bites, earning a proud smile from her.

What next?
