Yola answered before Michael could speak, a gentle smile touching her lips. "I’m his teacher," she said, her tone warm and polite.
Lily blinked, her eyes widening slightly in realization. Now that she looked closer, the matching robes they wore made sense. It was an unusual sight in modern society. Yet on the two of them, it didn’t look out of place. If anything, it gave off a noble, almost regal air.

Yola smiled faintly, her gaze softening. "It’s no trouble," she said. "He seemed worried, so it was only natural to help."
Michael glanced at Yola with a hint of gratitude before turning back to Lily. "Stay inside, alright? We’ll check things out and be back soon."

Michael gave her a reassuring nod as she closed the door.
