FOR A LONG, LONG TIME TO COME

ASTRID glanced at Wulfric, who was driving full of focus. The way the other's brows furrowed was funny, but in an adorable kind of way. Since the two of them were alone now, he could finally ask the other about the thing he had been curious about since last night.

"So, how did your talk with Sister Ellis go?" he asked.

Honestly, he couldn't ask Ellis. It was already embarrassing enough that he put her in that kind of situation without giving the other the time to prepare. If he even pry to her conversation with Wulfric, that would be a bit shameless of him. So, asking Wulfric was the next best thing.

"It went well," Wulfric answered. "She asked how sincere I am with you, and, of course, I showed him my sincerity. Then she also gave me a few warnings, which were all for your sake. I accepted them all generously, as I should. And then, I also gave a few warnings of my own. Overall, it's a very productive conversation."
