First one meeting, and then another. This one, he knew, was different, which he reminded Aiko of as he got up to bring her there. A heavy sigh would leave him. The girl was too naive for her own good, and he feared what might happen to her if she continued to act this way. Mature young women sometimes faced such hardships in life... And Aiko... Well... He truly worried might happen in her case. The calico would glance over at his niece, giving a small smile to her, as he lead the way to where Quelt was.
Allen would come to a stop, giving a nod to Quelt as he took a seat. His smile was back, hiding his worries, at least for now. ?Things are coming together, Quelt. You?ve done so well for all of us. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.? Allen had been more at ease, and smiling at the thought of seeing Hajime again someday and giving the news, if he did not already know. Dark forest green eyes gleamed with life, and the aging male felt as if he had truly found some peace.
