"Welcome back, Lavinia," Ramza said as hugged his granddaughter for the first time in a long while.
"I missed you, Grandpa," Lavinia replied.
"Is he the only one you missed?" Lavinia's mother, Elena, asked in a teasing tone.
"Of course not, Mother." Lavinia smiled as she moved to hug her mother. "I missed you too."
It was at that moment when another Catkin entered the room with a smile.
"You miss your mom more than me?" Lavinia's father, Vega, pretended to be scandalized and shocked.
But soon, he joined his wife and daughter in a loving embrace. They had been on a business trip during Alex's first stay at Etherion Village, so hadn't seen the young man before.
While they had sent her letters and she had replied to them in kind, she lamented the fact that they hadn't been able to send her off to Friden Academy back then.
"Father, of course I missed you too!" Lavinia replied, enjoying the love of her parents. "But I love mom more than you."
