"Where the heck have you been, you look beat?" Erica asked in surprise.
"I got busted slacking off." The nun glanced at Larkin and replied cryptically, "I was punished to sort out books, and I just finished. I didn't even have dinner!"
"That bad?" Erica hurriedly handed the nun some pastries, "I bought these for you, eat up quick!"
The nun quickly waved her hands.
She could sneakily eat ice cream, but openly accepting pastries was something she just couldn't do!
"It's cool!" Erica shoved the pastries into the nun's hands, "I'm leaving tomorrow, I won't be able to buy you any even if you want me to!"
"You're leaving tomorrow?" The nun was taken aback, then seemed a bit down, "Um, wish you and Larkin a safe journey."
"Oh, cheer up, I'll be back!" Erica comforted her when she saw her like this.
The nun blinked, then quickly denied, "I'm not upset!"
"Alright alright, you're not upset!" Erica quickly replied.
The nun gave her a disgruntled look, then left.
"That kid's got quite a temper!" Erica said with a smile on her face, "Such a cutie! How could her parents bear to send her to the convent?"
Larkin was silent for a moment, "Her parents died in an accident, her relatives didn't want to take her in, so they sent her to the convent."
Erica's smile instantly disappeared, then gradually turned into sadness, "When did this happen?"
"She was just a baby when it happened."
Erica looked at the nun's retreating figure.
Seeing how chubby and healthy the nun was, Erica thought she must have been well taken care of when her parents were around.
Otherwise, no matter how good the cafeteria food is, it couldn't possibly make her so chubby...
"Don't be upset, everyone has their own fate." Larkin patted Erica's head, "Get a good night's sleep, we're leaving tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Erica nodded.
