Kapitel 41: Unsettling Scent

Damien eventually managed to send Sebas and the others on their way.

"I never would have guessed that Theo was younger than me..." Damien mused.

"I didn't expect you to be older either, Damien. Sorry about that..." Theo replied.

"Really, it's fine," Damien reassured her.

They had briefly argued about how to address each other, but in the end, they agreed to stick with Theo calling him Damien, and him addressing him as Theo.

Discovering that Theo was younger than him had been a surprise, but somehow, it made sense of the little clumsy moments he'd noticed in him. It was easier to understand his more lighthearted nature, especially the way he got excited around animals. Damien couldn't deny that he had moments like that too.
