In The Shopping Mall [3]
"Thanks for the help," I expressed my gratitude to Elizabeth as she assisted me in selecting clothes for my mother and sister, and then helped me stow the bags away in my bracelet.
"You're welcome," Elizabeth replied with a friendly smile. She glanced at her watch and seemed a bit hesitant. "Oh, it's about time."
"Time for what?" I asked, somewhat puzzled.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Actually, I told Sephira and Sirius to come half an hour earlier."
"Huh? Half an hour earlier?" I inquired, still perplexed.
"Yes," Elizabeth nodded, her expression somewhat awkward. "You see, Sephira doesn't speak much when I am here and with anyone else, but with Sirius, she definitely feels more at ease. So, I wanted to give them some time alone in a place like this."
"Oh, I see," I said, understanding her intentions.
So she was simply trying to help Sephira feel more comfortable.
