Run knowing that I was alone again.
Run without even realizing where I was going.
Until.
"Hey brat."
I accidentally stomped over Sylva's medicinal herbs.
She followed my tracks and managed to stop me before I could run further into the forest.
"You must have some nerve to step all over my prized experiments."
At first she seemed like those selfish nobles I saw back in the city of London.
However after taking me back to her cabin to repay for the herbs, I met Sylva's family.
"Abu!" Their daughter, Poppy, kept following me every single time I was within reach.
Especially to pull on my hair.
I had to bite my tongue whenever she pulls.
'I don't understand how Sylva deals with Poppy.'
"Now, now Poppy." Gemma, while taking Poppy into her arms, scolded and reminded her. "You can't bother Nico like that."
Between Gemma and Sylva, it was hard to tell who's the mother and father figure for Poppy.
Ever since I learned that they were married, I've always wondered about it.
"Black cat."
A frown formed on my face. "How many times are you going to keep calling me that, Sylva?"
"As long as I want."
