The Second Reward Received (2)

Sitting in silence and staring at Glacia, who, after a not-so-lengthy conversation, finally agreed to close her eyes, Aoni couldn't shake the feeling that she hadn't changed much on the maturity scale.

It wasn't as if she had magically become smart; no, she was VERY clearly emulating a lot of the actions and phrases he had been using around her, which was evident in more ways than one.

Even a quick peek into her mind through the LoS showed subtle but apparent signs of her intellect forming, and as much as the Lad would like to believe that she had overall gotten smarter, he knew it wasn't the case.

Her sassiness clearly came from somewhere, and Aoni could look no further than himself.
