Childlike excitement suddenly stirred inside Mirabelle.
Warmth spread through her chest as she remembered the carefully folded cloak waiting on the bench earlier.
Kaelith had planned all of this.
Simply in the hope there might be an opportunity to bring her here.
The warmth climbed into her face and the most beautiful smile bloomed across her lips.
Several nearby Beastmen outright forgot what they had been doing and found themselves staring at the lynx female almost helplessly.
"This is the best surprise ever."
The words hit Kaelith like a physical blow.
The genuine praise struck so unexpectedly hard that for one brief moment he forgot how breathing worked.
Mirabelle looked like she was glowing from within while staring up at him with so much open happiness that it genuinely felt like the sun had risen directly in front of him.
'Should I ask if it's better than what Silas did?'
The thought crossed his mind briefly.
But he wisely kept it to himself.
