After a long time, it seemed like she had the same expression on her face that she had a month ago when I had brought her from the hellhole.
I did not dare to say anything else. Perhaps she needed some time to think things through. We walked in silence towards the magic tower. I had never brought her here before.
Truly speaking, I never suggested this place either. Mostly because there were magical objects here and there and even if Luc said that most of them were harmless, I could not risk it.
I knocked on the door of the tower. She suddenly smiled. I was caught off guard by the sudden change.
"Thank you," I said.
"... Are you feeling alright?"
"Of course!" she smiled brightly, too brightly. But her smile was not the only surprise waiting for me. She wrapped her arms around me. I had always felt lucky that she was very tiny as I could hold her easily and securely.
