Theo could tell that the mantis was looking at the table very intently, but he didn't expect this.
The mantis had hopped from his shoulder, and that was the last thing Theo saw before it became a blur—he couldn't see it anymore.
Almost everyone noticed this, as the mantis was the star of the dinner, with everyone looking at it with intensity.
Only a few individuals in that room could keep up with the mantis's movements.
The next time Theo saw the mantis, it was at the top of a plate filled with a big piece of meat with a lot of gravy.
Both its forelegs went up and smashed on the piece of food before it got a chunk of it stuck on its forelegs. Finally, while it was eating leisurely, everyone looked with dumbstruck gazes.
"Eeeekkk…" Celeste made a disgusted face upon seeing a bug on the plate of food on the table. For some reason, it irked Theo. There was nothing disgusting about the mantis in his eyes.
"That was fast…" Cedric muttered, his gaze fixed on the moss-covered mantis.
