Theo took a big stretch to get up again, and while the others protested that he should rest, he didn't and got up to sit opposite Lucien.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks, elder brother. Though I will need help to grow from now on," Theo muttered and asked for his tea.
It felt like tea was going to be the one thing that would get him energetic again.
"Your growth has made me feel an urgency that I didn't feel even when Cedric was getting ahead," Lucien spoke while looking out the window, making Theo feel weird inwardly.
It was not something he had thought Lucien was here to talk about.
"It's only right to help you when you have blazed this feeling of growth and strength again. Well, the gate had some part to it too… but nothing like this." Lucien sighed and looked at Theo directly in the eyes before getting up.
