Chapter 215: Hermes

"This… is the port?"

"...You've never really seen a port before?"

"I have never seen the ocean before."

"Did you know that Newer York used to be beside the ocean before every hell broke loose?"

"W… What!? Did you see it!?"

"No, how old do you think I am!?"

"As old as Evangeline?"

"No!"

Charlotte didn't know whether to laugh or be mad at Van's statement. But ever since they… landed near the port, his eyes had been glistening. Charlotte had never seen Van's eyes like this before, even when he and his friends reunited.

In a word-- childish. With how tiny Van is; if you take away that he was some kind of killing machine, one could mistake him as just a little boy seeing the ocean for the first time. It was sort of cute, Charlotte thought. She could still remember when her son was still as small as Van, he was a lot younger at that size, of course. Seeing the curiosity in Van's eyes truly reminded Charlotte of her son.
