Only a child
"I can't believe it either you know," Arthur sighed. How did he go from fighting on the front lines, severely injured, and on the verge of death to taking care of this kid? But it seemed like the boy she usually hung around with wasn't around. Watching her by herself made him feel bad.
She is only a child - and here she is in this remote place away from her family, away from her friends. "I don't know why there isn't a guardian with her. Normally girls of her age bring a guardian, whether they are related or not."
According to the Junlan church rules, any apprentices under the age of 13 should be accompanied by a guardian. Judging from the way things are, she's been here for quite some time already.
