"Less people, less problems... that is a fact."
In any case, Cassiopeia had managed to calm down as the girl stifled her tears and met his gaze. She thanked him and squeezed the hand which he had placed on her head as a comforting gesture. This was their odd relationship. He does care for her however, it was not of romantic inclinations. This was something Aeon was certain of at this moment. They might not be of what people call love, however, they are strong enough for him to enter circumstances which he deems as annoyances. “No need to thank me.” That was all he said as he returned his hand to his side.
As for the crowd which gathered around them, they were amused of the scenes. It was not every day they could see these two beautiful seniors together even more act much like a couple. It would seem that Cassiopeia had noticed the attention they were getting and said her apologies. Really, there was nothing for her to be sorry about. They were not intruding on anyone. Actually, they were the ones who were being a bother and a nuisance. In Aeon's view, they were simply wasting their time watching other people's lives. They should mind their own business. “There is nothing to be sorry about.” After stating that, some of the onlookers dispersed around them.
However, Cassiopeia seemed to have found another source of intrigue and curiosity. The girl greeted two individuals specifically named Raiden and Mai from what he has heard. She seemed very happy and wonder when did she met these two. Well, he does not mind her meeting new people. It was good for her to socialize and mingle with others as long as they would not have misdirected intentions or cause trouble for her. After all, it will be a trouble he will have to solve it. It did not take that long for her to introduce him to the two. Aeon did not do anything to show acknowledgement. He simply looked at them with his usual stoic face. Nevertheless, he was interested especially when she declared these two helped her in a pinch.
What was that pinch exactly? Aeon gazed at Cassiopeia and then back again to the two. He would need to know what Cassiopeia meant exactly. For now, this is what he do for now. “Thank you for aiding, Cassiopeia.”
