"Do you know how worried I was?" She said as she picked another strong shoe and was about to swing it when she saw someone enter. "Hello." Elara said and Clara froze while Jesse screamed. "Arghhhhhh! A demon with pointy ears!" "I'm no demon." Elara said with a smile. "Arghhhhhh! Brother Grey, take care of the demon." Jesse cried out as she ran towards Clara and gave her a hug. "Greyyyyy!" Clara said and he smiled with him rubbing his hair slightly. "That was what I was about to explain mum. And Jesse, she's not a demon, she's an elf." Grey said. "Elf?! I… I have heard about that race from your grandfather." Clara said with wide eyes as she looked Elara up and down in shock. "They are real?!!!" She shouted. "Yup." Grey replied and it looked like Clara was going to faint at any moment. "Wait! Where did you find her from? I mean where did you come across her?" Clara asked and then Grey walked forward with Elara slightly behind him while they all sat down on the torn sofas. "I met her on an unexpected trip of mine." Grey replied and before his mum could question him, he proceeded to explain about how he always trained in the forest which his mum was aware of and then how he decided to explore the volcano and of course leaving out the part that he nearly died for obvious reasons. Then he talked about the elven town, how he was attacked, then how he met Elara and then his punishment for commiting a taboo before he moved on to the beast attack how the town was saved and his decision to head back because he knew his mum would be worried and Elara's decision of tagging along. "So that is how she is here." Grey said as he heaved a sigh while his mother was seemingly taking in everything he said patiently. "Wow! Seems like brother Grey had so much fun! And we were worried for nothing." Jesse said. "Don't forget that he almost died." Clara replied as she glared at Grey which made him shrink in his seat. 'I didn't know this human could be scared of anybody but boy was I wrong.' Elara thought with a chuckle. "Oh well it is in the past and it has already happened so no need of getting angry over it. But I would appreciate if you could tell me next time when you are going on a trip like that so I won't go around the town searching for you worriedly." Clara said. "I'm sorry about that." Grey said with a nervous smile. "It's okay!" Clara said. "About the house, did you get one?" Grey replied. "Actually yes and we would have moved out by now if not because we knew it would cause you troubles whenever you came back so we lingered around a bit more while slowly moving some precious things there." Clara replied. "Oh!" Grey said and then he stood up. "Anyway, I just came to inform you that I'm fine, I will be leaving with Elara to take her somewhere safe where nobody would hunt her." "Huh?! Let her stay here, I mean let her come with us. I know you are worried about her being chased and looked upon differently, but can't she put on a disguise or something?" Clara asked. "I know but she won't feel comfortable going out everytime with a disguise. She might adapt to it but on the long run, it will become exhausting as she won't be able to be herself and interact with others." Grey replied. "Hmm. That is a solid point. Well if she can't stay forever, let her stay for today and then tomorrow, you can take her wherever you want. You said it yourself that her kind treated you nice and stuff, so how about we show her our own hospitality." Clara said. "Yes brother Grey! Let the demon aunty stay for today so I can play dress up with her." Jesse said with a cheeky smile which made Grey remember when Eclat usually called him a demon and he smiled. "I will accept if it's fine by Elara." Grey said and then Elara shot up from her seat. "Why wouldn't it be fine by me?! After all, I would love to spend time with the great mage Grey's family." Hearing the name she addressed him with, he coughed and Clara raised an eyebrow. "The great mage Grey?!" She chuckled and then grabbed Grey by the ear hard making him scream in pain. "Ow ow ow!" He said. "What did you really do there? Did you make them all call you that?" She asked. "No mum, never." Grey said while screaming from the pain in his ears.

Grey said as Clara finally let his ear go and he began chasing Jesse around but he refrained from using wind magic which made Jesse evade him easier. Seeing the siblings love among them, Elara smiled. 'He is so loving with his family and especially his sister. The same thing I was unable to experience back home since my own siblings always looked down on me.' she thought as her face suddenly looked down cast which Clara noticed. "Don't look like that, you are now part of our family too no matter whether you are a human or not." Clara said and looking up, Elara smiled widely. "Yes." She responded and Clara chuckled. "Alright kids! Let's prepare a scrumptious dinner for our guest." Clara said. "Wait! Dinner for our guest? What about me? I just came back from a dangerous trip, won't I get something special too?" Grey asked. "Of course you will." Clara smiled. "You will get a special beating!" She said as she pulled out her shoe again and swung it at Grey. "That is for making me worry and searching the whole town for you." "But I thought you forgave me." Grey said avoiding the shoe. "Indeed I did. But I needed to vent my frustration out." Clara smiled before picking a pillow and throwing it at Grey who caught it effortlessly. 'What a nice, loving and beautiful family. And is it me or does Grey look more charming than before?' Elara thought with her face heating up. "Alright! Enough of that. Jesse! Come help me in the kitchen." Clara said and Jesse accompanied her as they prepared to make Elara feel at home.
