On the other hand, Caelis remained completely unsuspecting. Instead, he reached into his storage pouch and took out a small bag of candy. He unwrapped one piece before handing it to Lina. "Here. Eat this. You'll feel better."
Lina happily accepted the candy. She immediately popped it into her mouth, happily cupping her chubby cheeks with both hands, savoring the sweet flavor as it slowly melted. As usual, the tears instantly disappeared. A bright smile once again decorated her adorable little face.
"Brother Cael." Rhea sighed helplessly. "You spoil her far too much."
Caelis chuckled before taking out another bag of candy. "This one is for you."
Rhea accepted it with practiced resignation. She had long since become accustomed to receiving whatever Lina received. Caelis always treated them fairly as their older brother. The only difference was that he naturally paid a little more attention to Lina because she was still young and unable to use magic properly.
