Inside House Salvatore a young girl is seen sitting waiting as the host prepares something for her in a hurry.

Moreau limps towards Sofia with a tray in his hand, "H-here..." he says putting the tray in front of her.

Sofia freezes as she stares at the horrendous looking 'food' in front of her.

"I-I hope you like it, its my f-favourite tea..." Moreau says shyly.

Sofia smiles at Moreau before shakily picking up the teacup, she looks at Moreau as he looks at her expectantly.

She puts the rim of the teacup which has gotten a dark shade because of age on her lips and take a sip.

It tasted bad but not to the point she had to spit it out so she takes two sips before putting it down.

"H-how was it? Did you like it?...." he asks nervously.

"Yes it was.....Nice, thank you for giving me such a warm welcome!" Sofia says as she smiles brightly.

Moreau looks at her before looking down shyly, he couldn't explain how happy he was.

'It's not bad but I definitely dont want another taste of that.... But it is sweet how he is trying to make me feel welcome.' Sofia thinks as she stares at Moreau.

'She's so nice.... Now I understand by what Mother miranda meant, I hope she doesn't hate me.. I don't want her to leave me too....' Moreau thinks while staring back at Sofia.

"D-do you want to see something?" He asks as he looks at her nervously.

"Hm?"

...

"Woahhh!" Sofia exclaims as she looks around in the nicely decorated room.

She looks at the various types of trinkets and books. "Did you collect these?" She asks still looking at the stuffs.

"Y-yes I like to collect..." he says shyly.

"This is so cool, I love these!" she says looking through the book collection.

Meanwhile Moreau blushes as he heard only one thing.

Love

Love

Love

Love....

au... "

reau..."

"Moreau!"

"H-Huh yes?! W-what is it?" Moreau asks as he looks at Sofia surprised.

"I was just saying that I should go now, I've disturbed you long enough-"

"No!!" Moreau screams as Sofia looks at him shocked.

"D-did I do something wrong, please don't leave me too! I-I will do whatever you want so please..." he begs as he falls on his knees.

Sofia dashes to Moreau as she hold his hands, she felt a bit uncomfortable by how his skin felt but decides to ignore that as to not hurt his feelings even more "No no you didn't do anything wrong, it's just I have already spent too much time with the other Lords and I have go return soon because a friend of mine is sick, if that wasn't the case I would've spent lots of time with you!" she says trying to comfort him.

"So you aren't leaving me?....." he asks looking at her sadly.

"Of course not! We are friends now and I never leave my friends! I promise I will come visit again, 'kay? She says reassuringly.

Moreau nods before looking down sadly, suddenly Sofia remembers something as quickly takes her bag off and searches for something.

"Here this is for you, I had to make this quickly so it's not that good but I hope you like it!" Sofia says handing over a card to Moreau.

He looks at it confused as Sofia giggles, "You have to open it silly!" she says as she helps him open the card.

Moreau stares at the cards for a few minutes as Sofia gets nervous thinking he didn't like it.

"Morea-

She gets cut off as Moreau hugs her, tears streaming from his face.

"ahhh.. Thank you... Thank you so much! I love you too.. I love you too hic..." he says between his cries.

Sofia smiles and holds him as he lets his emotions out.

After a while he moves away as she wipes his tears with a handkerchief. "I still haven't finished giving you my gifts yet and you are already crying haha!" Sofia says smiling at him kindly.

She takes a book out of her bag, "Here! This is one of my favourite books! I hope you like it." she says as she hands him the book.

"Beauty and the beast?" he reads out.

"Yup! It's a great book."she say grinning.

" T-thank you... " Moreau says smiling shyly.

'Good thing my personal maid packed that book, he seems like he loves romance books so this is perfect for him.' Sofia thinks smiling at him.

"Okay I should go now, bye! I will visit again." Sofia says as she hugs Moreau.

"B-bye come again.." Moreau says sadly.

"I will! Stay safe Mr. Moreau." she says as she leaves.

Moreau stares at her go and clutches onto the book she gave him.

'I won't let you leave next time....'
