Agnes held onto Phenix's hand, a comforting smile on her face. "Hey, quit your worrying. Once you're married, you get to spend forever with your big bro, right?"
At the mention of marriage, Phenix's face lit up with a grin. "You know, I've actually gone and bought a place out in the Australian countryside. Got myself a little estate, planning to raise some sheep, get a sheepdog, and maybe have a couple of chubby little kids running around."
Listening to Phenix's dreams, Agnes couldn't help but feel a touch of happiness herself. It seemed like every woman had entertained such thoughts at one point or another.
Waving off the subject, Phenix suggested, "Alright, enough daydreaming. Since our dear Kearney is here, let's take this rare chance to have a meal together tonight, just the three of us siblings."
Their paths had intertwined for many years, yet life's busy demands often kept them apart.
With Kearney's rare presence, Agnes agreed they should indeed seize the moment for a gathering.
"I'll go fetch Kearney. He's over at The Aeolus Tower. I'll head to the kitchen and whip up some of our favorite dishes. Meet you back here for dinner," Phenix proposed.
Agnes nodded and set off towards The Aeolus Tower.
