When noon arrived, after much mental discussion between them, a message from outside was received by Ruri. They had to go out and meet with the other members of the sect.
Alm took a deep breath, not accepting to maintain this situation. But when he saw Ruri approaching, raising her arms with those innocent and round eyes, he decided to forget about it for now, even suspecting that she did it on purpose. Alm even wondered if she knew what they were discussing in their minds. They then left the room with the little girl on their shoulders. She seemed to enjoy being there, having a high vantage point.
Bruno nodded, satisfied. This girl knew when to act instinctively, even without knowing what they were discussing internally. And she could already hit Alm's weak spot whenever she wanted.
