1 YEAR PASSED. Claude has yet to give Arius an answer.

'He's stubborn. He doesn't answer my questions but asks me questions. He allowed me to drink coffee only if I answered his question. Unfortunately it was too tempting. He's such a tsundere. I'm just asking him whether he needs me for anything or could I travel the world? I mean I understand that a six year old kid travelling alone isn't normal nor safe. But why does he care? The original Arius died anyway. Why couldn't he care for him as well? ugh well anyways today I'm definitely going to convince him!' Arius's thought as he crossed his arms.

"Dad!!" Arius shouted as entered Claude's Office without knocking.

Claude sighed. "You're here again."

Arius simply smiled. "If I'm going to hear your useless babble then I might as well get some fresh air." Claude stood up and walked out of the room

"A walk? Where to?" Arius followed him.

"Amethyst Garden." Claude responded.

When Arius heard that he froze.

'Why...is he going there of all places?' Claude turned to see Arius standing there a bit spaced out.

"Aren't you going to follow me?"

"Uh..yes..."

Claude walked towards him and bent down.

"Do your legs hurt?"

'Eh'

Claude suddenly raised him up from his armpits. They stared at each other in silence before Arius began struggling for release.

"No No My legs work just fine, I can walk."

"..." Claude ignored him and began walking while carrying Arius, surprisingly Claude had picked him up perfectly fine.

"No..Put me down." Arius said and kept struggling.

Claude then raised Arius in the air and then shook him up and down as if he was a stuffed toy.

"HE-UWAh-HA-I'M GONN-PUKE-UWAH!" Claude stopped.

Arius was dizzy from the ups and downs and clenched on to Claude's robes for support.

"Oh, didn't you just say you could walk on your own." Claude smirked.

'Psycho. WHO THE HELL DOES THAT.'

"Now stay still until we get there."

Arius sighed and moved into a comfortable position, resting his head on Claude's shoulder. It was quiet at the start. Arius was trying to recover from his dizziness and Claude was just walking silently. After a while Arius broke the silence.
