"Sorry for the bother." Larkin said.
The monk wore a complex expression on his face.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "How've you been?"
"Thanks for asking, I'm great." Larkin paused slightly, "How about my teacher...?"
"Much better."
"That's good." Larkin smiled, letting out a soft sigh, "You should go on with your stuff, we'll be taking off."
"But meals will be served soon in the cafeteria! Why not stay and eat before you go?" The monk stopped them as they were about to leave.
"Oh yeah, I'm starving!" Erica quickly chimed in.
So there they went, Larkin and Erica, heading off to the cafeteria.
Along the way, they ran into a few visitors and some very cheerful nuns.
Looking at them, Erica could almost picture the carefree days Larkin had spent here.
"I must've owed you something in my past life, you saved me and brought trouble upon yourself." Erica murmured.
If Larkin hadn't left the monastery, if he was still here living a monastic life, he wouldn't have so many troubles now.
"Nonsense." Larkin squeezed her hand, "Leaving the monastery was my own choice. Don't put that on yourself."
Erica didn't respond.
Upon reaching the cafeteria, both Erica and Larkin got some food.
They found a corner and started eating.
To be honest, Erica now understood why Larkin didn't like the cafeteria food when he was a kid.
It was pretty dreadful.
"Looks like they still haven't changed the cook." Larkin took a bite and chuckled helplessly.
Seeing Larkin laugh, Erica felt a bit happier.
