In the presence of Grandma and Grandpa, who had been old friends of Physician Kale, the elderly physician was a completely different person from the staid gentleman Mana had come to know in the capital city. She found his excitable, dramatic side rather funny and things in the summer palace got much livelier thanks to his arrival.
Physician Kale doted on Jules as if he was his own long-lost grandson, much to Jules's amusement. Naver, on the other hand, completely stupefied the elderly physician with his knowledge and insight. If their ages weren't so disparate, Physician Kale's behaviour around Naver would easily lead on to believe that Naver was his master and Physician Kale was his disciple.
