When Aina saw the sight before her, she smiled and excused herself. The scene was very familiar to her because Arthur often had his beasts around him whenever he got injured. As she stepped out of the clinic, she sensed the familiar, ominous aura of someone approaching.
"Eve?"
"I heard my disciple was injured," Eve stated flatly, her face expressionless and as cold as ever.
"Yes, he is," Aina replied, her tone slightly forced. She and Eve rarely spoke and only exchanged greetings when their paths crossed. Eve assumed it would be the same as usual and was about to walk past the red-haired woman when Aina spoke again.
"Can I have a word with you?"
Eve paused, perhaps contemplating what Aina wanted to discuss, but eventually nodded, and the two women walked outside.
"Thank you for training Nox, even though he's my son," Aina said once they were in Celine's garden, a vibrant place filled with a kaleidoscope of flowers.
