Thomas looked at the doorway through which they had disappeared before he looked down at his empty plate. He was full and didn't want anything more, but he didn't think he could eat more if he wanted to. He felt Ikki's hand on his head and looked up, trying to smile. "I don't know why, but she had never liked me. She always says things to me when the master is away. Sometimes I don't understand what she means, but I know it's not nice. But her outburst today....I mean in front of the master....he'll flog her for it. I try to stay away from her so she doesn't get in trouble. But I really just wanted you to stay with me. You can stay in my house. It's not as nice as this one, but you won't have to be alone." Thomas said starting to cheer up.
