Griseo has went out of the studio inside the golden courtyard, and finally went to the lounge area with Kosma.
She was painting in the lounge and Kosma was quietly observing her. "After that, brush your teeth Griseo." Kosma reminded Griseo to take care of her dental hygiene.
"Un. I will, Ein also told me to remember these things back then." Griseo nodded as she continues to paint.
Mei then appeared as she saw and heard their conversation. "You guys seem to have a very good relationship. I often see you spending time together." She saw them play and hang out almost all the time.
Griseo nodded. "Un. Kosma likes girls under the age of 10." Mei suddenly went quiet as she stared at Kosma. He looked at Griseo as a bead of sweat fell from his brows.
"Ahhh. Sorry, my bad. I meant... He likes them under the age of 12." An awkward silence enveloped them as Kosma fidgeted from Griseo's words.
"Uhh. Don't look at me like that, it's not only girls..." Mei just stared at him as Griseo continued painting.
"What I mean is... I just like to play with kids." Mei sighed heavily. "You... Better stop explaining, I understand what you're trying to say. I might misunderstand further. But with your personality, it comes as a surprise to me that you're great with kids." She always saw him deep in thought and was very introverted. He even cried when Kevin scolded him when he just joined the Moths.
"And Griseo. I've always wondered why you're always bare footed? Won't you get cold?" She observed Griseo's preference of not wearing anything on her feet.
"Ahhh. Because Kosma said he liked it better." Mei almost choked on her saliva as she looked at Kosma and glared at him
"Kosma... You." He immediately raised his hands and talked. "I don't think I ever said that Griseo."
"Don't lie Kosma... You told me that running around with shoes on would stain the canvas, and the quilt would get dirty when sleeping. So I won't wear it anymore. You said it was good and I also think it's more comfortable."
Kosma calmed down as he went silent for a few seconds. "Add those explanations next time Griseo."
"All right. I got it." She then continued to paint. Ein then entered the lounge as he saw and heard Mei talk with Griseo and Kosma.
"Ahhh, Griseo doesn't really expound on what she says. It makes tons of misunderstandings, isn't that right? Kosma." He then lifted Griseo up and put her on his lap.
"Ein. This is the 1st time I saw you again." She hugged him on the waist as she snuggled tightly on his chest.
"Umu, Mei here made ripples inside the realm. I woke up due to it." Mei looked at the normally emotionless Griseo snuggle up to him.
"Is he like a brother figure to him as well Kosma?" She asked the quiet Kosma as he shook his head.
Griseo kissed Ein on the cheek as she then continued to paint. Her paintings started to become more vibrant in colors.
Mei deadpanned at him as he raised a brow at her. "What? Griseo's my legal loli. She's older than you Mei-chan." As he patted Griseo's head and started to hum a tune.
