There was a momentary panic in her voice, but it soon returned to calmness. "I've placed her under house arrest!"
"Mm! Don't touch her first. Once I'm free, I want to question her myself!" commanded the old man in a deep voice.

Besides, he was separated from you for seven whole years. You're still very unfamiliar to him. Both of you need time to get to know each other! You'll get close after some time!"
