That day after school, Thoma received instructions to wait at the door of classroom twelve as early as possible. Roman knew all too well that Eli could take care of himself but he did not want Eli's secret to come out in public yet, not after he found out just how deep Eli's roots ran.
Eli was actually quite embarrassed and hadn't really expected Roman to ask Thoma to leave with him. Thoma didn't complain. According to him, he normally wandered around outside for some time before going home, so sending Eli home could be counted as a way to pass the time too.
Besides, Ra had given him such an important person to protect which showed how much he trusted him! Passionate second-year youth Thoma was full of confidence in this task!
