"Papa..." Talia mumbled in her sleep, tucked like a little ball in Sara's lap while Ikaris sat on one side and Sol on the other, both smiling and staring at Arla who had immediately gone into teaching mode after Fuhua had offered a question regarding the practical use of mana and the ways to best simplify it.
It was a suggestion from Jena that whatever they need to know they should ask Arla, since even more than the Syetem, she excelled at giving lectures, and making complex theories simple to understand, it was not long before Yu, Grecia and even Xie was locked under her influence, unable to refute that this woman was an unparalleled brilliance.
