On the way back to the Samed Mansion, Sullivan chuckled as he thought back to the events that took place before he boarded this carriage.

When he noticed the brilliant smile on her face as she celebrated the positive answer that he had given, Sullivan could not help but smile with her.

'Who would have thought that such a simple thing could bring her such great joy.' He remarked as he observed her jubilant face.

His next reaction was subconscious just as the startled scream that he had let out upon hearing the request from the same child.

His hand raised and reached her head as he gently patted her head a couple of times.

He had been expecting her to throw his hand away or sneer at him as she usually would during their classes but nothing of that sort had occurred.

Instead, he witnessed how he tilted her head to the side and giggled upon feeling his pat.
