"Because you're family"
I said, my voice filled with conviction and a hint of familial feeling, normally saying this to someone that you just met would end with the relationship itself breaking or the other person looking at you with weird eyes but that was only in normal situations. For Carmel, these words would only bring something else outside,
"Fa-Family?"
Carmel spoke back with a startled gaze, instead of being weirded out a certain twinkle bloomed in her eyes, looking at it I knew that the first part was done, nodding my head I spoke with a calm and clear voice,
"Yes, to tell the truth, all I knew about you is from the master but she thinks of you like family and I think of her as one, in such a regard you are family to me too, we might not have much now but I'm sure that we could grow to be true senior and junior"
