"Wow, you've really been gone a long time," Alexis said. "It's Spaghetti Bolognese. You eat it like this." Alexis started spooling the pasta on her fork, and eating it.

"I see..." Lumiosa said, watching her fellow genie eat. She started imitating her method of eating. "Like this?"

"Mostly," Sophie smiled, before she also started eating.

"So Alexis, I a.s.sume you've had more Masters than Lumiosa?" Matt asked her.

"Well from the sounds of things, Lumiosa's been trapped in her lamp for at least two millennia, so I'm gonna go for yes," Alexis replied through her eating. "I've never gone more than a decade or so without a Master, so I've probably had way more than her. It's why I'm much more socially adept than Lumiosa. I mean, you've known me like 3 years at school, and at any point did you suspect I wasn't human?"

"Not once," Matt replied.

"Exactly, yet from what I hear, Lumiosa didn't exactly give off the vibe of a "normal teenage girl" in cla.s.s today. She doesn't know what the modern world's like, and even if she did, she's too stuck on "obedient slave girl" to act like a normal person."

"I try my best..." Lumiosa frowned. "I want to make my Master happy."

"So do I, but you need to think for yourself sometimes," Alexis told her. "Life's much more fun that way. One of my Master's about 15,000 years ago taught me that, and I've been so much happier since then."

"Wait, 15,000 years!?" Matt exclaimed. "Just how old are you!?"

"Naughty boy, asking a girl her age," Alexis giggled. "But if you must know, genies have been around since the dawn of the human race, granting the wishes of those lucky enough to obtain our lamps. I don't know where we come from. My earliest memory is of waking up in my lamp, knowing only my name, and my job. Not long later, my first Master summoned me, and my life as a genie began."

"That's so interesting, but so sad," Matt said. "Don't you ever want to find out where you came from?"

"Not really, I've just accepted my life," Alexis replied. "I've had the pleasure of plenty of good Masters in my time, and seen many wonderful places and things."

"It sounds like a wonderful life, but I'm fine how I am," Sophie said, finis.h.i.+ng her food.

"I am also satisfied with my life," Lumiosa smiled. "I enjoy serving my Masters."

"One of these days Lumiosa, I'm gonna teach you how to be a proper person," Alexis said to her. "One who can think for herself."

"I'd like that Alexis," Matt said.
