Chapter 36

"Ophelia!" Lavina said, coming up to her with open arms and then giving her a hug.

"Uhm- hi?" Unora gave her a weird look.

"So how is school going?"

"What?"

"You know, the witch school you're attending? Is it hard?"

"Oh, yes, the school- thing. No, not as of late."

"Oh, really? I thought you told me two weeks ago it wasn't going so well."

"Yes, I did. And well, I asked mo- Amilia just like you told me and poof, wow! It's all better." Unora hesitantly laughed.

"Oh, well that's good." Lavina scratched the back of her head. "Say, what are you doing on this marvelous weekend?

"I was just going to have a lesson with your mother! Yes, with your mother."

"Wow, you two have been spending a lot of time together, hm?" Unora shrugged her shoulders. "What about Anghi?"

"Anga, who?"

"My brother? My younger brother, who you seem to hang around for some reason."

"I haven't seen him." She rolled her eyes.

"Eh." Lavina said, moving her body in a not so serious manner. "He's probably in his room, talking to his parents."

"Amilia and Jasvinder are up there?"

Lavina laughed. "Gee, you sure are funny." She paused, ruffling her hair. "My father left him at an orphanage. A few months ago when my mother came back we confronted them and well, now he lives here, with us."

"Oh, how, lovely." Unora clenched onto her staff.

"Tell you what, why don't you and I hang out? We never seem to do that."

"Oh, I don't know, my lesson and all."

"You can do that later." Lavina chuckled.

"Are you ok?" Unora asked. Lavina patted on her legs.

"Of course I am, why?"

"You don't usually bother when it's school stuff."

Lavina sighed and then grabbed her hand. Then she started running towards the forest. Soon enough the two of them were in the Market.

"I never properly gave you a tour of the Market." Lavina smiled at her and Unora smiled back at her. "Now, come on," Lavina extended her hand. "Stay close." Unora grabbed it and then they began to walk. "One of the places I love is my dad's smithing shop." Unora muttered something. "Did you have a question?"

"Oh, no."

"Dad!" She screamed.

"Gah! Lavina, I've told you a hundred times not to scream when I'm-" They saw him in the window. "Oh Un- Ophelia, hi! What are you two lovely ladies here for?"

"I thought I would finally give Ophelia a tour of the Market."

"Oh, the famous Lavina tour, hm?" He stopped for a minute. "Why am I your first stop?"

"Because you're my dad and I love you, plus-" She started. "I know you make candy back there."

Oglm hesitantly laughed. "Is that a hint, dear daughter of mine?" Lavina shrugged her shoulders. Then Oglm smiled and disappeared. Seconds later he returned and gave them each rock candy.
