"It's just my family," Katherine quickly added. "I am not interested in magic and spells and whatnot. I would rather study human knowledge and become a teacher, like what I am doing now. But I know a spell or two."
"Oh... that sounds exciting," Sophie said truthfully. "What can you do with magic?"
Katherine shrugged. "Not much. But I can show you a trick or two someday."
Both women laughed heartily. Finally, Sophie felt relieved because she had opened up about herself and her family to Katherine, and the woman didn't think she was a freak for her background. In fact, they seemed to be able to stay friends like usual. This made her feel so happy.

Things went peacefully for the family. Sophie nursed her babies lovingly and went outside to bask under the morning sun every day to get them used to the outside world. Luciel and Jan studied diligently under their private teacher.
