Aquarina's parents were present as well, though they were outside the house hunting around for the moment. However, when we moved downstairs, they were there, waiting.
"I'm glad you're well now, Sylph," Shade said with a charming smile. Now that I get a better look at him, he's actually very handsome… I can understand why Nepheline would fall for him. As we moved closer to them, he gently petted my head.
"Ah, little Sylphy! Aquarina's been missing you for a while, you know? It's so hard to calm this girl down when she's babbling about you all the time! Seriously, she can't stop thinking about you!" said Nepheline soon after. Then, she suddenly held me with her strong arms and kissed my cheek.
"M-Mom, don't say that!" Aquarina cried in response.
"Hahaha! What's wrong? You have to tell Sylph how important she is for you, or she'll never understand your feelings, dear. She seems like the oblivious type," Nepheline said with a chuckle.
