Noticing that Noir was happily chatting away with Teacher Artemis, Solis found himself feeling rather strange – caught halfway between happiness and envy.
After a while, he couldn't remain aloof anymore. "Noir," he called. "Could you come here, please?"
The young prince immediately rushed over to him. "What happened? Are you feeling unwell? Is there any discomfort in your legs? Should I give you a massage?" Noir fired off a barrage of questions as he touched Solis's forehead to check his temperature and then measured his pulse.
Solis chuckled, amused and pleased by his concern. "Nothing's wrong," he said. "I just thought you'd be interested in learning something new."
Noir's chocolate eyes sparkled. "What new thing?" he asked eagerly.
