The gate opened again, and Theo saw Clara standing with the other attendants just on the other side of the lobby.
But his view was soon obstructed by a rather large man.
Lucien entered the room with a huge grin on his face. He was dressed in rather good clothes, but Theo didn't pay much attention to them.
For him, Lucien's sheer height was the real shock—no matter how many times he met him. Seeing seven-foot-tall people was not common in his previous world.
"Good morning, Mother," he spoke before looking at everyone else. "Everyone."
"Big brother Lucien!" Celeste ran excitedly to stand in front of Lucien.
"Hahahaha, my little sister sure is growing bigger every time I see her," Lucien said, crouching down and tapping a finger on her forehead.
"You meanie!" With that dramatic entry, Celeste ran back with exaggerated theatrics. Theo didn't know if she was really like this or it was just a show. He didn't remember 10-year-olds being this childish.
