If you can't beat someone with strength, beat them with numbers

To show that nothing wrong was happening, we walked together to the greenhouse after I was done changing my robe. Aunt Nezja, Amarein, and D'Ara were walking together with us, while Zia and Izzi went ahead to help Mara and Panne prepare the place.

Walking leisurely, we made sure to converse in a slightly louder voice than usual so the Castle staff and the guests who might still be around could hear us. It wasn't difficult to appear cheery with Jade jumping around excitedly, feeling happy because I was no longer sad and because he could see Shwa again. Natha even had to catch him and ended up carrying him because Jade almost fell, and--

Hmm...it wasn't a bad picture. We looked like a family with two kids like that, and I couldn't help but giggle.

Also, for some reason, Jade became slightly clingy to Natha. Perhaps he finally realized that Natha was a part of his precious treasure.
