Chapter 5: Perhaps Not as Firm as a Dried Mushroom, but...

After dismissing Julius, Rafina looked troubled. “How worrisome. I wonder just what would be best to do here...” She breathed a sigh overflowing with worry. “First... Is anyone opposed to letting him meet with Barbara?”

Mia nodded with crossed arms at her benevolence. Yes, Miss Rafina! That’s an important first step!

The pompous look on Mia’s face as she nodded away screamed, “It was I who raised the Holy Lady to the woman she is today! If only there was someone to exclaim, “How presumptuous!” But unfortunately, Mia’s previous actions really were the building blocks of the current Rafina. How vexing it is to not be able to deliver this quip.

“I think that’s a wonderful idea.” The first person to offer words of affirmation was Tiona. “It’s tough not being able to see your family. I think we ought to let him.” The Rudolvons were quite close, and they treated their citizens as family as well. Thus, Tiona had strong feelings.

“Hmph. I suppose I’m in agreement too.” The next voice to come was Sion’s. He was now unable to meet with his younger brother, making Julius’s feelings easy to understand. Keithwood worriedly watched Sion from behind. But then, his eyes glanced toward Rafina. Now, they seemed somewhat anxious.

Moons! Could Keithwood have a thing for Rafina?

Speaking those words in front of either of the two aloud would result in disaster, but that didn’t stop Mia’s imagination. Rafina shot her a glance.

“What do you think, Mia? If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them.”

“Hm, yes...” Mia once again crossed her arms as she paused. “If possible, I would love to have Patty attend their reunion...” She put her earlier idea into words. Hearing the story of Barbara and Julius would certainly help Patty grow in the right direction. At least it should. Hopefully.

“You’d like to have Patricia attend...?” Rafina couldn’t quite make heads or tails of Mia’s statement. She tilted her head and put her hand on her cheek as she took a moment to think. “Ah! You would like the children to learn of Julius’s circumstances. Is that it?”

Rafina’s question had the word, “Huh?” running through Mia’s brain, but she decided to stay silent and just smile along. Mia had mastered the art of the suggestive smile. When trying to gauge your interlocutor’s approach, smiling as if you had some plan was a rather effective method.

“Um, what do you mean exactly?” Now that Chloe had asked the question, Mia didn’t have to.

Rafina nodded, tilting her head as she spoke as if she was trying to put her thoughts together in real time. “I think there is room for sympathy for Julius’s actions. However, it is also true that they caused the children of the SEEC program to be subjected to slander. While I would like to show him some consideration, the children were looked upon with unjust doubts. They are victims, at the very least of having been caused trouble by Julius’s actions.
