CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART

"WHAT are you doing here, Brother Hil?" Ash asked, as if finally realizing that it was unusual for Hildred to suddenly appear here.

"I have a business with your roommate," Hildred said before flicking Ash's forehead.  "And don't call me 'Brother' while you're here at the academy.  Address me properly, okay?"

Ash held his flicked forehead, obviously dissatisfied by the other's move.  But still said at the end, "Yes, Sir."

Hildred turned to Reas.  "If you're done eating, come with me.  Wulf wants to talk to you about that matter yesterday."

Reas first thought when he heard that was, 'aren't you also not properly addressing someone who's technically your superior?'.  But that's not really any of his business.  So, he simply stood up and nodded, telling the other that he understood.

Ash also suddenly stood up.  "Can I come too?"
