"Thank God! Finally!" Reina, Niklaus' wife, breathed in relief as soon as she set her eyes on Akim. Although the young man was much taller than her, it didn't stop her from pulling him into a hug and Akim had to hunch down to settle to her height.
"You are safe now," Reina muttered while running her hand soothingly across his back, "It's alright,"
But Akim was not comforted because he broke down into tears instead and she felt for him.
"It's okay, don't cry, eveything would be fine. We all make mistakes," She continued to pat him on the back while he cried, burying his face in the woman's shoulder.
It was at that moment that Niklaus came into the living room and saw both of them. He opened his mouth to speak but Reina shook her head, hinting that this was not the time. So he sighed, running his hand through his hair so tightly his wife, Reina feared for his scalp.
