Sebastian's footsteps reverberated throughout the stone hallway, permeating the silence that enveloped them. Despite his discomfort with the quiet, he realized that disturbing the moment he shared with Guilia was out of the question. He cherished the closeness they had and didn't want to jeopardize it.

Sebastian approached the entrance with a sense of trepidation, knowing that he would have to utter the password in Latten god in order to gain entry. 

He couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy towards those who seemed to get the easier passwords, while he always seemed to be stuck with the more complicated ones. With a resigned sigh, he uttered the password and pushed open the door, stepping inside the entrance to their common room.

The sound of water falling met his ears, emanating from somewhere down the spiral staircase to his left. Despite the surroundings, he found the sound to be oddly calming and peaceful. With Guilia nestled in his arms, Sebastian descended the spiral staircase, feeling her weight sink into him with each step.

Sebastian was extremely cautious as he aided Guilia onto the soft and luxurious couch in the common room. He made sure that she was settled in comfortably before stepping back and flashing her a playful grin. His tone was light and teasing as he asked her if she remembered the instructions that Nurse Blaney had given her. Guilia furrowed her forehead for a moment, trying to recollect what he was referring to, before nodding her head in comprehension. She remembered that Nurse Blaney had advised her to avoid putting excessive weight on her foot so that it could heal properly.

"There is no need to worry, Sebastian. I assure you that it is only a minor scratch, and I am perfectly fine. Please do not fret, as everything is completely under control."

Guilia explained to Sebastian that it was just a minor burn caused by her own clumsiness and that there was nothing to worry about. She spoke matter-of-factly, with a hint of a wry smile playing on her lips.

Sebastian felt a wave of relief wash over him as he realized that Guilia had taken Nurse Blaney's advice seriously and was on her way to recovery. 

he had been worried about her safety ever since the incident occurred, but seeing her now, he knew that she was in good hands. Guilia conceded that she had underestimated the strength of the potion they had been experimenting with, but promised Sebastian that they would work together to improve their skills and avoid any future accidents.

As they settled in for a relaxing afternoon, Ominis arrived with Guilia's forgotten bag. When he appeared

"Ah, Ominis, it's a pleasure to see you again," Sebastian greeted with a warm smile.

"I do apologize for the delay, as I was attending to some matters in potions class. However, I couldn't help but notice that Guilia had left her belongings behind, so I took the liberty of retrieving them and bringing them here."
