Finishing up their training, Loraine wipe her sweat and asked Cliff, “...so do you know what Gyre eats? Because I don’t think he might eat the food I might prepare.” Cliff catching his breath after the training and look at Loraine tries to abate her worries. “Don’t worry Loraine, I did my research; Gyre is omnivorous so he can eat anything.
Unlike most spider beast, Weaver spiders are omnivorous. They eat plants and meat alike but they have taste for fibrous plants because this tends make their silk thread stronger. Loraine feeling relieved but still told Cliff that he should buy suitable food for Gyre in the future.
After tidying up the lot, Loraine and Cliff with Gyre on his shoulder, went back to the apartment to prepare breakfast. As they were at the door of their apartment, they saw Eve was just heading out. Eve was wearing her running attire and she was preparing for a morning run.
“Eve going for a run?” Loraine asked. Startled, Eve turn around and saw Loraine and Cliff drench in their sweat. Eve replied, “Yes ma’am! The job training is nearing, so I’m thinking to do light exercises to avoid injuring myself.” Cliff looking like an idiot, did not think about injuring himself during training. Loraine sensing Cliff’s worries and said, “Cliff I think we should stop sparring for a while...” Cliff looked at his aunt and break out a smile.
“We will not accompany you further, but you can drop by after your training to get some breakfast,” Loraine said to Eve, as she invites her to have breakfast after training. Eve with a bright smile said, “No thank you, I have prepared my meal before I started my training.” Eve again said her goodbyes and walked out of the apartment building.

Loraine and Cliff entered their home and both directly went to their rooms, to change their sweat drench clothes. After a few minutes, the two went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Cliff also brought Gyre, he put him down on the kitchen counter near the fridge. Cliff open the fridge, looking for something Gyre could eat. As he was browsing the contents of the fridge, Cliff found celery and took out a stalk and gave it to Gyre.
Gyre immediately began eating upon receiving the stalk. Cliff is happily watching Gyre eat then all of a sudden he was smacked on the head. “If your not helping then you will not eat,” Loraine annoyed from Cliff’s dilly dallying. Cliff immediately started to prepare the table to avoid getting smacked again. Loraine cooked a simple breakfast and put it on the table after cooking.
While the two were eating, Loraine asked Cliff, “are you already set for your job training?” Cliff looked at Loraine with a dejected look, then replied, “No...I still not picked an armor going to use.” Cliff sighed after telling Loraine his status.
Loraine stood up from the table and remembered something, so she immediately left the kitchen to get something from her room. Cliff was surprised from Loraine’s action but he continue to eat. Loraine came back after a few minute carrying a box.
Loraine moved her plate and placed the box on the table. She opened it and took out some thing within it. Loraine held up a gray colored armor from the box, then said, “you can use this body armor, it was your fathers when he was your age.” The gray armor collected dust and have few dents here and there but can be repaired. Looking at the armor, Cliff thinks that it might fit him.

“This armor is made from Armaboar hide which posses metallic-like property. Its strong and durable while being light. Your father used this when he was starting out, he gave this to me when I first started as a diver.” Loraine added. Cliff knows how difficult to take down an Armaboar because of its strong hide, so making an armor out of its hide is really fantastic. “I gonna ask Mr. Zen to customize it for you,. This should lift some burden on your part. Just find good shin and arm guards to complete the set,” Loraine told Cliff.
Cliff took the armor from Loraine’s hand became a little emotional. His father have used this armor, the dents showed how hard his father worked.
Cliff again thanked Loraine for the armor and promise take good care of it, he then put it again inside the box. Loraine was happy she could help and put away the box then said, “We should finish up eating for we have a lot to do.” Loraine asked Cliff to bring it to Mr. Zen later. After all that, the two happily ate their breakfast
