However, as he turned to leave with the boy, Nova jumped on his back. Raising her first above his head, she exclaimed, "Let's go outside! I want to see the college you're all speaking about."
Shocked by her actions and physical contact, Adam blushed, a wry smile tugging at his lips as he thought, 'Did I just become a horse?' Then, he raised his head, gazing at Nova's smile and worriedly asked, "The journey will be dangerous. Are you sure you want to join us?"
Even if she wasn't a fighter, he knew she would prove a valuable ally to resolve conflict and uplift their mood. After all, her voice and presence exuded a calming and joyous aura he appreciated. From his understanding, she also seemed sensible and good-natured. Thus, he didn't mind her following them if she desired.
