"Are you...alright?"
"I'm good."
"You looked traumatized."
"Just surprised."
"Master made you fetch him hairy tofu, didn't he?"
"...I didn't know they exist."
"Now you know."
Lillie arrived back to the courtyard and place the books on Grandmaster Wei's desk in his office.
When she's about to make her way towards the kitchen, she saw Ethan coming out of the storage house with a large basket latched onto his shoulders like a backpack.
That's when she noticed that he was a bit dazed. A hint of bewilderment etched his usually schooled expression.
Lillie immediately knew who the culprit was and the method said culprit used to extract a reaction out of Ethan.
"Where are you going now?" She walked next to him, deciding to accompany him to wherever he's heading.
"Master asked me to get lotus roots and pods." Ethan thanked his lucky star that his wife came back just in time.
