"Raven, I would very much like to walk around the garden during the day. I have a strong desire to see the fresh flowers blooming under the bright sun."
"Let's make a greenhouse, then," Raven suggested without hesitation, his voice firm and unwavering.
"Yes?" Seraphina was taken aback by his immediate response, her surprise evident in her widened eyes.
"If you light the greenhouse from the inside, you won't be envious of the bright daylight outside," Raven explained. "The flowers will still bloom beautifully, and you can enjoy them safely from within."
"Can I go to the greenhouse alone, then?" she inquired, hoping for some measure of freedom in her outings.
"No," Raven's answer was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"In that case, I'll make sure to take Lili and Pillen with me," Seraphina proposed, thinking that having companions would make her outings permissible in his eyes.
