Taking A Rest

-----

We enjoyed a huge dinner with everyone. Rita and Lily came to join after we arrived back home, and Anna's mother agreed on staying to eat before departing with her daughter back home. Steiner had no objections either as long as Elisa wanted to eat here. He was slowly trusting us more, it seemed.

Monica was opening up a bit more, eating and feeling much better. She even smiled a little bit, which warmed my heart. Seeing someone so unfortunate smile at long last is really a nice thing.

Come to think about it… It was thanks to the skeletons that I arrived there quickly, as they sent me a telepathic message. The charms I had set up worked but they were too faint and slow. Also, it seems they didn't worked detecting Monica's magic because… well, it was inside of her.
